IMMOFINANZ Group wins attractive international brands as tenants of its Romanian Maritimo Shopping Center in Constanta

International fashion retailers such as C&A, Inditex Group and New Yorker, as well as Cinema City, the leading cinema operator in Romania, decided for Maritimo Shopping Center as a place of location. The already signed lease agreements with these international tenants will cover 12.000 m² of lettable area of the shopping center.

Upgrading by attractive tenant mix
The Maritimo Shopping Center will house the first stores of C&A (1,800 m²) and New Yorker (1,200m²) in the region of Constanta. The Inditex Group has secured a total sales area of 4,500 m² for its six fashion brands that are available on the Romanian market: Zara, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius, Oysho and Massimo Dutti. Cinema City, the leading cinema operator in Romania and Central Europe, will run a Multiplex cinema with eight cinema halls. Thus, the Maritimo Shopping Center will offer an appealing shopping and service experience as well as a variety of entertainment and leisure possibilities to the residents of the Constanta region.
Convincing overall concept and convenient transport connection The overall concept of the Maritimo Shopping Center with a 16,000 m² Auchan hyper-market, some 130 shops, an 8-hall multiplex cinema and a parking lot with 2,200 parking spaces meets the high demands of international and national tenants. At the same time it ensures a balanced tenant mix of fashion, sports, electronics, food and entertainment. In addition, the location of the Maritimo Shopping Center is very convenient. The shopping center is located on Aurel Vlaicu Boulevard, the main road connecting the northern and the southern part of Constanta.

'The agreements with these international renowned brands are proof of the quality of our Maritimo Shopping Center and its location. Currently we are in discussion with further internationally well-known retailers that also show great interest. We assume that the Maritimo Shopping Center, with an overall lettable area of more than 50,000 m², will become the largest and most appealing shopping center in the region due to the brand mix and service offerings ', said Dr. Eduard Zehetner, CEO of IMMOFINANZ Group. The opening is planned for autumn 2011.

The leasing of the center is carried out by the exclusive agent Krammer & Wagner, which has been successful in the field of development, consulting and marketing of real estate for more than 20 years with a total delivered retail area of over 600,000 m².
