The first mall to be opened in Romania this year was inaugurated today in Botosani, eastern Romania, following an investment of EUR 27 million. Uvertura Mall is owned by Romanian businessman Danut Prisecariu and was opened after several years of delay. It is the first such project in the 100,000-inhabitant city and the developers also expect it to attract shoppers from neighboring areas.

The mall covers 32,000 sqm, out of which the 15,000 sqm of leasable area is on six levels. It has a 91 percent occupancy rate and includes some 80 retailers, including H&M, Lee Cooper, Go Sport, Steilmann, Noriel, Carrefour Market, Kenvelo, Eponge, Jolidon and Sabrini.

The H&M store alone covers 1,575 sqm and is the 24th outlet that the Swedish fashion retailer has opened in Romania since coming here in 2011. Uvertura Mall also features an entertainment area with restaurants, cafes, bowling, billiards, a casino, a sport pub and a Cine Grand multiplex with five movie theaters and a total capacity of 450 seats.
