Anna Yatsenko notes that the concept of the complex includes a family shopping center creation and a suitable tenant-mix building. Therefore, there will be no traditional fashion gallery in the mall. The pool of tenants will consist of commercial operators and services, which can match the visitors ’daily living needs.
 
“In the current reality of Covid-19 and quarantine, people try to reduce their exposure to public places. As the rhythm and pace of life are speeding up, consumers are no longer ready to spend a large amount of time on shopping. So, they switch to online purchases. Therefore, we want to open and offer our clients a place, where they can spend quality time, satisfying all the basic needs. The latter means buying products in the Silpo supermarket, enhancing their housing by visiting the OLDI construction supermarket with the extended assortment (about 50,000 items), or the JYSK furniture store, choosing any home appliances in Eldorado, and so on. ” Anna Yatsenko says.
 
According to her, jewelry, textile, tableware, optical stores, outlets with impulse goods, and a cozy food court will also operate at the mall. For the convenience of motorists, a parking lot for more than 200 vehicles will be established next to the shopping center. At the same time, the mall is about 10 –15-minute drive away thanks to its central location.
 
RDA also notes a high demand for the vacant premises in OLDI due to the shortage of quality commercial real estate in Zhytomyr. Only a large-format shopping center Global.ua with close-to-zero vacancy operates in a regional center with a population of over 250,000 people. That’s why retailers are interested in new projects with quality commercial premises.
