NEPI Rockcastle, the leading commercial investor in Central and Eastern Europe, continues its expansion in Bulgaria, by developing the largest and most modern commercial center in Plovdiv. After acquiring Paradise Center and Serdika Center&Offices, in Sofia, in 2017, NEPI Rockcastle is now constructing a modern shopping mall in the second largest city of Bulgaria, estimated to be inaugurated by the end of 2020.
The mall in Plovdiv will bring to a new level the shopping, leisure and entertainment experiences through its unique architecture and a complete mix of brands and services. With an over 150,000 sqm built area, the commercial center is set to become the dominant shopping and entertainment destination in the region. The mall will also provide the largest GLA area in the region, approximately 60,000 sqm.
NEPI Rockcastle will bring to Plovdiv the “Promenada” concept, which focuses on fashion combined with a large entertainment and dining component. The second level of the project will be designated to an open air terrace, a unique outdoor destination with a spectacular view of the city, where visitors will be enjoying coffee or international cuisine at the cafes and restaurants.
