Let us recall that, as part of its expansion plans, the Israeli company intends to build and acquire new shopping centers in several Montenegrin cities.
There are also plans to take over the neighboring City Mall in order to create a unique retail park
The company BIG CEE, part of the Israeli Big Shopping Centers group, has expressed interest in acquiring the City Mall shopping center in Podgorica after recently buying the neighboring Delta City shopping center, sources familiar with the process told the portal
Investor.BiG’s intention is to turn Delta and City Mall into a unique retail park, modeled on a similar one they built several years ago in Belgrade’s Karaburma district.
The owner of City Mall is the Podgorica-based company Čelebić, which is also engaged in real estate construction and sales.
This ambition of the Israeli company is in line with statements that it will not stop at Delta, for which they allocated 95 million euros. According to Investors, after City Mall, BiG intends to acquire another large shopping center in Podgorica, and then continue investing in several other Montenegrin cities, including Nikšić.
The so-called retail parks that BIG plans to build in Montenegro are a type of shopping center, mostly located outside central urban areas. They are mainly single-story buildings, without basements or upper floors, consisting of a series of separate units connected under one roof into a single complex, and each retail unit has direct access from the outside.
This unit most often has a U-shape, and also includes access roads with parking spaces and a plaza with green areas and promenades along the entrance to the premises.
