As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, investors confirmed to Slobodna Dalmacija that the new Dalmatian shopping centre project is currently in the early phase of obtaining a building permit, and on August the 12th this year, they reported the beginning of the removal of dilapidated buildings at the location in Kastel Sucurac.
Immofinanz purchased the land covering a total area of 16,099 square metres (located on the site of the former Adriachem) last year from a company called Kemokompleks, backed by entrepreneur Enver Moralic.
The plot was neglected because in the meantime the remains of the former Jugovinil warehouses, which burned back in 2003 in a fire, still hadn’t been removed. In the immediate vicinity there are three existing retail facilities – Lidl, Plodine and Super Konzum (the former Getro).
The procedure for obtaining a permit for the new Dalmatian shopping centre is, as stated, currently underway, as was confirmed to Slobodna Dalmacija from the Kastela City Administration. When looking at the system of the Ministry of Construction, it is evident that the permit was stamped back on July the 29th, but it isn’t yet enforceable and final.
The ”Stop shop” in Kastela is just one of the new retail parks that will be opened in the Republic of Croatia, says Josko Pitesa, the director of the Zagreb-based company Immofinanz services and management, whose founder is the aforementioned Austrian company, who announced that construction will begin after obtaining the needed permit.
The new Dalmatian shopping centre will cover about 7,500 square metres in total, and the opening is planned for April 2022.
What makes ”Stop shop”, which already has centres in Osijek and Valpovo, different from other shopping centres is the lack of common spaces in a large building from which one enters individual stores, which avoids the costs of joint maintenance. It is designed in such a way that each store is entered directly from the car park. Among the tenants of the centers in Osijek and Valpovo are DM, Deichmann, CCC, Spar, Intersport, Takko and KiK.
