Former owners of bank Aval have invested over $140 million in the River Mall located in Dniprovska Naberezhna in Kyiv, which will be opened for visitors next week, the co-owner of the mall, Serhiy Vovchenko, has said.
“Tenants have been working on their premises since February of this year. Next week River Mall doors will open for visitors, and the official opening is scheduled for the first decade of September, while the exact date has not yet been set. Among those 50% of tenants who will open their stores already next week is Silpo,” he told Interfax-Ukraine.
According to Vovchenko, more than $140 million have already been invested in the project.
“We did not attract foreign investment. The River Mall has seven founders from among the former owners of Aval Bank. The largest shareholder is Fedir Shpyh with a share of slightly less than 50%. Leased areas as of now are distributed by 90%. Inditex Group and H & M clothing retailers have come to us,” the co-owner said.
He said that there are plans to launch the aqua park in the summer of 2020.
