Colosseum Mall will inaugurate its extension next spring, which is the first such inauguration in five years.
The owners of the shopping center plan to use some of the 60-hectare site for residential development.
The inauguration initially planned for this year was postponed due to the fast-paced increase in the COVID incidence rate in Bucharest and the entire country, as well as to the restrictions introduced by the authorities.
“The retail space part of the extension which will have 16,500 square meters of gross lettable area is 92% leased. Extension not included, Colosseum is 100% rented (…),” says Colosseum Mall general manager Mihai Dinu.
“A novelty is the project we announced this summer and are implementing – the installation of a photovoltaic system to improve energy efficiency and curb carbon dioxide emissions. The PV panels will be installed on the flat roofs of the shopping center and on carport-like structures in the customer parking lot. The PV panels will cover about 9,000 square meters and generate about 1,315 MWh a year.”
