The new Decathlon store has an area of 1,480 sqm, while Casa Rusu occupies over 1,300 sqm.
The new strip mall doubles the shopping center’s area to more than 25,000 sqm. The project also includes an outdoor space of 4,000 sqm for leisure activities.
Works on the entertainment area, that will include a cinema operated by Cinema One and a food court area, will be completed by the end of the year.
Immochan, the real estate arm of French retail group Auchan, changed its name to Ceetrus last year and changed its strategy from primarily focusing on developing retail projects to mixed-used projects.
Ceetrus currently manages 23 shopping centers in Romania: Drumul Taberei, Crangasi, Vitan, Titan, Berceni and Pallady in Bucharest, Coresi Shopping Resort in Brasov and Auchan Bradu in Pitești, as well as the former Real shopping galleries in Bacau, Baia Mare, Brasov, Cluj, Constanta, Craiova, Galati, Oradea, Pitesti, Ploiesti, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Timisoara and Targu- Mures.
Ceetrus is also planning to develop new projects in Bucharest, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Cluj and Craiova.
