Andriy Lototskyi, RDA: Concepts and locations of new shopping centers in Ukraine (presentations)

Very soon, there will be four more shopping malls in Ukraine. They should open in 2025 and the first quarter of 2026. What will make them unique and what will ensure a large traffic of people.

 

Andrii Lototsky, CEO of the Retail&Development Advisor consulting company, spoke at the RAU Expo, which took place on September 5-6, on the topic: "Concepts of new shopping centers, their uniqueness and competitive advantages." RAU selected the main points from this story.

 

Temp shopping center (Khmelnytskyi)

 

Where it is located: Prospekt Myru, 99/2 A.

 

 

Advantages of the location

 

The shopping center is located at a busy traffic intersection (direction Kyiv and Vinnytsia). The Arboretum "Podillia" is also located nearby, which is one of the most popular places for family recreation of Khmelnytskyi residents and residents of the region. And nearby is the first and only restaurant of the international chain McDonalds in the city.

 

This area is also densely populated: 31,000 people live within a radius of 1 km, 148,000 people live within a radius of 5-10 minutes, and 283,000 within a radius of 10-20 minutes (the population of Khmelnytskyi region, including nearby settlements). Such a busy location will provide the shopping center with a large traffic of people.

 

 

Uniqueness and concept

 

The Temp shopping center is unique in that it will have modern class A office premises (6,500 sq. m) with high-speed elevators and individual access, and the height of the floor with panoramic windows is 3.8 m. There will also be a panoramic restaurant (1,500 sq. m) on the roof of the shopping center and two large indoor tennis courts (1000 sq m) with professional surfaces, comfortable changing rooms, showers and a cafe. A co-working space (650 square meters) with high-speed Internet, high-quality lighting and comfortable places to work is also provided.

 

 

Warshawsky Shopping Center (Ternopil)

 

 

Where it is located: Podvolochyske highway.

Advantages of the location

 

It is located at the busiest intersection and on the border of the most populated areas of the city - Canada, East and Sunny. International highway M 012 (Stryy-Ternopil-Kropyvnytskyi-Znamyanka) passes next to the shopping center. Also, accessibility from the airport - 3 minutes by car (2.5 km), from the bus station - 10 minutes (5.8 km), from the railway station - 10 minutes (3.4 km), from the city center - 14 minutes (4, 3 km).

 

So the primary coverage area is up to 30,000 people (visits every day), secondary – 150,000-220,000 (once a week), tertiary – 250,000-300,000 (twice a month), quaternary – 350,000-500,000 (once month).

 

 

Uniqueness and concept

 

The uniqueness of the shopping center is the integration of the city bus station (3420 sq. m.) with 4 platforms and the shopping center itself. Most of the routes will be transferred from the central bus station here. That is why a passenger flow of about 5,000 passengers per day is expected. Moreover, the location is made in such a way that almost all traffic will be in the shopping center itself.

 

The mall concept also includes a supermarket (3,360 sq. m), an entertainment center (2,220 sq. m), a cinema (2,950 sq. m), a gym (1,300 sq. m), a rooftop (2,750 sq. m) open air and designed for the season spring-autumn

 

The mall is very bright and comfortable - wide aisles (8-9-12 meters) and many escalators.
