Designed as a
new, modern retail concept with premium finishes, located in an area where the
residential sector is rapidly growing, the extension of Colosseum centre is a
natural step forward. The development of Colosseum Mall strengthens Colosseum centre’s
position in the Bucharest retail market
“In the past
years, the local retail market has been focused on large and very large
developments. In Bucharest this is a popular trend and therefore, most of the successful
projects exceed 20,000 sqm. Colosseum centre’s extension with the mall meets today’s
market’s needs and is undoubtedly one of the most
important retail developments of the recent years. We are pleased to announce that
strong and reputable international fashion anchor retailers recently joined our
project: Mango – the Spanish fashion retailer which now operates over 1,100
stores worldwide, New Yorker – one of the largest European fashion retailer, CCC
– one of the largest footwear retailer in Romania, Colin’s – denim specialist, with
more than 600 shops around the world, became our partners in this very exciting
journey. Colosseum Mall also attracted new tenants from other retail sectors
like, Dm drogerie markt – the market leader in its sector with more than 3,300
stores in Europe; Noriel – the reputable toys shop operator; Diverta – with its
large media & books offer; Gregory’s brings to our project one of the most
appreciated coffee and Greek bakery as well as grocery products; Coffee Ritazza
shall offer artisan style coffee in a modern and friendly atmosphere at one of the
mall’s entrance. In the leisure sector, World Class, the largest fitness
operator in Romania and Happy Cinema, a multiplex cinema, will be the main attractions. With over 80% of the retail spaces now signed
or spoken for, we are in advance discussions with other reputable retailers
soon to be announced, which will bring even more diversity in the merchandise
mix of Colosseum Mall, according to our leasing and development strategy.”,
said Doinita Ilie Leasing Manager JLL Romania.
“Colosseum centre is a mature and stable retail development. Now open for more
than 7 years, Colosseum centre is growing steadily. The layout of our retail centre
is the most important asset, because the design ensures the maximum comfort to
our customers. This translates into accessibility, airy common spaces with
natural light, generous outdoor parking with easy access to shops and a mix of
tenants that offers a wide variety of products. The current extension, the
construction of Colosseum Mall, is designed to complete the current retail centre,
bringing a modern concept with premium finishes and new shopping and leisure
opportunities to our customers. The next development phase of Colosseum real
estate shall also include residential. We have applied for building permission for
two residential blocks with more than 500 units located next to Colosseum Centre.”
added Mihai Dinu, General Manager Colosseum.
As a result of the expansion, Colosseum centre will have in total 54,500 sqm GLA
of retail space, becoming the second largest retail scheme in the 1st Sector of
Bucharest. Mango, CCC, New Yorker, Happy Cinema and World Class, and other 60 stores,
restaurants and coffee shops, will be added to an already strong tenant mix that
currently includes: Carrefour hypermarket, Leroy Merlin DIY, Altex, JYSK, LC
Waikiki, Sport Vision, Pepco and many others.
