The
construction of Sofia Ring Mall, a new shopping mall project in the Bulgarian
capital Sofia, is set to start within a few days, Colliers International, the
leasing consultant of the project, announced.
Sofia
Ring Mall has selected Glavbolgarstroy and Arcon Constructions as the main
construction companies for the project. The contract was signed last Friday,
September 2, 2011, Colliers said in its announcement Thursday.
The
selected companies will be involved in phase one, being responsible for the
excavations, concrete works and rough construction of the project. These will
have to be finalized within a period of 12 months. Sofia Ring Mall will hold a
second tender for the selection of a company for the finishing works, Colliers
explained.
Sofia
Ring Mall will be situated on the newly extended southern curve of the Sofia
beltway, or ring road.
It will
be directly connected with IKEA's first hypermarket in Bulgaria through a
pedestrian connection and a common underground parking facility. The combined
parking will provide more than 3 500 parking places, accessed by the clients
from the ring road.
Delivery
circulation and courtyards are designed independently of visitor's traffic. The
opening of Sofia Ring Mall is planned for 2013.
Sofia
Ring Mall will be one of the biggest shopping centers in Bulgaria with a gross
leasable area (GLA) of approximately 70 000 square meters.
The
Sofia Ring Mall project has been frozen for several years. It will be part of a
larger commercial and residential project. It will include a hypermarket with
an area of 9000 square meters, a DIY store and a cinema.
The
investor in the project is Sofia Ring Mall Sofia EAD, a subsidiary of the Greek
company Danaos Development.
