The project has been recently approved by Cluj-Napoca’s City Council and requires an investment put at more than EUR500 million from Iulius and Atterbury Europe.

Rivus will include more than 400 stores, more than 30 concept-restaurants and cafés overlooking the Somes River, Fresh Market for domestic producers, a park and green areas of more than 52,000 square meters, Japanese garden on the roof, two industrial buildings reconverted into cultural and office space, live arts center and auditorium, indoor and open air movie theater, as well as 15,000 square meters (GLA) of office space.

The project started with the relocation of the Carbochim plant and its retooling on the new store and preparation of the land by taking down the old facilities.
