Somewhat surprisingly, Timisoara, Cluj and Craiova, which are larger and economically more powerful than Arad and Suceava, are not on the list of cities with at least three big shopping centers.
GTC, which owns three other Galleria malls in Buzau, Piatra Neamt and Suceava, has recently signed a contract with Spanish group Inditex, which will operate the Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius and Pull&Bear stores in the mall.
The Galleria mall will have a 33,600 square-meter lettable area and is 85% pre-rented, after Inditex rented 3,700 square-meter spaces.
The new Arad mall’s main tenant is the Cora hypermarket chain, which rented a 9,000 square-meter space, while other tenants include Altex, Cinema City, Reserved and Sprider.
