Starmall Shenyang Plaza
‘The $300 million Star Mall Shenyang Plaza is due to hold its grand opening in northeastern China on the 24th of this month, illustrating continued investor faith in the future of China’s retail sector. The 325,000 square metre shopping centre includes 128,00 square metres of gross leasable area and is located in the city’s Tiexi district. Developed by Turkish conglomerate Fiba Holding, Star Mall Shenyang Plaza began construction in 2009 and was co-invested by the State General Reserve Fund of the Sultanate of Oman. The project is said to be the largest Turkish investment in China to date. The mall will feature shops from seven different brands belonging to Spain’s Inditex, including Zara, Zara Home, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho, Pull and Bear, and Stradivarius. The shopping complex will include a 12 screen multi-plex from China’s Huayi Brothers, as well as the first hypermarket opened in Liaoning province by France’s Auchan. Other brands opening the new development include The GAP, H&M, Only, and Vero Moda. The mall’s management said in a statement that they expect visitors to total more than one million each month. In addition to the mall, the project includes a 45,000 square metre office tower invested by Malaysia’s KH Group.’ BY
