“Ikea is further expanding Romanian operations and will open its third store, located in Dumbravita, Timis county”, Ikea representatives said.
Currently, the project is under development and building the store and the necessary infrastructure will take around 12 months, with additional time earmarked for pre-construction activities. This will depend on weather conditions, soil conditions, on the necessary licenses from authorities for specific needs, but also on other situations that may arise in the meantime, Ikea representatives added.
Construction works began this spring and the general contractor is, Baumpartner Baumtechnic, according to local media.
The land plot the Ikea store is being built on was bought from businessman Ion Tiriac in 2019 and it has an eight-hectare area. The deal was put at EUR8 million. A Dedeman store may be built on a nearby land plot, according to ZF data.
