Besides LC Waikiki, in the last months, the project, managed by JLL since 2011, attracted two more major retailers: Sport Vision for 900 sqm and Pepco for 450 sqm. All three units will be open in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Colosseum Retail Park has been open since 2011 and has 38,500 sqm of retail space. Situated in north-western Bucharest, it provides easy access both to the city center and the city’s northern ring-road.
The main tenants of Colosseum are Carrefour, Altex and Jysk, but also shops like Helpnet, Nedelya, Ideal Optic, 5asec, Animax, Inmedio, Arsis, Orange, Iqbox, FanGSM, Otto Broker, Corabia Piticilor or Pizza Bonita are accomodated in the retail park. DIY retailer Leroy Merlin also has a unit in Colosseum Retail Park.
“Colosseum is a shopping destination and this new leasing to LC Waikiki, their 28th store in Romania, confirms the success of the project. Footfall numbers and the turnover reported by the retailers are increasing in 2017 for the sixth consecutive year, so Colosseum attracts 3.5 million visitors per year. These figures encouraged the tenants to open new stores in Colosseum Retail Park, which offers now an attractive tenant mix of retail, food and services units,” said Mihai Dinu, Center Manager JLL.
LC Waikiki is a retail chain founded in France in 1988 and since 1997 is a Turkish brand under the umbrella of LC Waikiki Mağazacılık Hizmetleri Ticaret A.S. Today LC Waikiki trades in 804 stores in 36 countries.
JLL manages real estate properties of almost 200,000 sqm, such as Swan Office & Technology Park, Liberty Center and also nine industrial properties.
