The first shopping mall, Cherry Mall, with a total area of 18,000 square meters in the town of Vyshneve in Kyiv region is to open in April 2019. Edelburg Development is the exclusive agent of the mall and developer of the project, while Fine Partners Invest is engaged in the construction of the facility, Kyiv-based UTG told Interfax-Ukraine. “Considering that the mall is located in a new, densely populated residential area where 85% of residents are families with children, we tried to think of its content so that you can easily combine shopping and sports, going to a restaurant and watching the premiere at the cinema,” Chief Commercial Officer of Edelburg Development Maryna Kravchenko said.
Project manager and partner of UTG Artem Neposedov estimates the attendance of the mall will be 15,000-18,000 people per day. “More than 25,000 people live in walking distance from the Cherry Mall shopping center. In addition, there are three public transport stops near the shopping and entertainment center, thanks to which the site’s coverage area includes almost all 75,000 residents of Vyshneve. Therefore, the expected attendance of the facility will be 15,000-18,000 people per day,” he said.
The rental area of the facility is 13,000 square meters, with 65% of the area already leased. In particular, the anchor tenant of the Cherry Mall will be the Sport Life fitness club with an area of 3,500 square meters. Its infrastructure includes dry and wet zones with three swimming pools. Its anchor tenants also include the five-hall Linia Kino cinema; the Fora food supermarket in the new concept (1,500 square meters), the Foxtrot electronics supermarket (740 square meters). The Cherry Mall will also house a children’s entertainment center with a climbing wall, rides and a children’s room.
