New modern shopping mall, Varosh, has opened in Zakarpattia

The Varosh shopping mall in Mukachevo opened in early April at 2 Vasyl Bilak Street.

According to the press service of the consulting company Retail & Development Advisor (RDA), which acts as the broker for Varosh, the total area of the property is 8,500 sq.m, with over 5,800 sq.m of retail space.

 

"The Varosh shopping mall opened its doors to visitors with a high occupancy rate. At the launch stage, it reached 93% of signed tenants. These include the Alma supermarket, the Sport City sports store, fashion brands Arber and Sezon, the children’s store “Budynok Igrashok” (Toy House), the chains Luxoptika and Allo, jewelry brands Sova, Love You, and “Zolota Kraina,” as well as many other well-known names that create a high-quality and diverse tenant mix", said RDA CEO Andrii Lototskyi.

 

According to the top manager, a key factor influencing retailers’ decisions to open stores in Varosh was the strong demand for modern retail space in the city and the prospects for further regional development. At the same time, the shortage of professional, concept-driven retail properties in Mukachevo makes the new mall especially attractive for business development.

 

 

 

 

As clarified by the management company of Varosh, around 6,000 residents attended the opening of the new shopping center, while daily foot traffic has since ranged between 3,500 and 4,000 visitors. The mall’s management expects this figure to grow significantly in the coming months when a cinema and popular fashion brands begin operations.

 

RDA notes that upcoming openings include Cropp and House stores from the Polish group LPP, which will be the first locations of these brands in the city. Once they open, the mall’s occupancy rate is expected to exceed 95%.

"Currently, only a few retail units sized 40–80 sq. m remain vacant. However, demand for these spaces has significantly increased following the mall’s opening, and the Retail & Development Advisor team is actively negotiating with potential tenants. In the near future, it will become known which new brands will join Varosh", Andrii Lototskyi summarized.

 

It should be noted that the concept of Varosh envisions it as a unified space for shopping and leisure for the whole family, where visitors can spend time with friends, family, and children. As part of the project, the developer also ensured comfort for motorists by providing a convenient parking facility with 158 spaces.
