CONSTRUCTION work on two new shopping malls is expected to begin early next year. The first of these will be constructed in a suburb of the capital Nicosia; the second will be built in Paphos.
Nicosia mall
The new ‘Nicosia Mall’ will be built in the Lakatamia-Anthoupolis area of Nicosia. It will include several department stores, supermarket(s), various shops of different sizes, a playground and 1,700 car parking spaces. The total indoor area of the new mall will be approximately 82,000m2.
Paphos mall
The new mall in Paphos will be located in the tourist area, close to the Tombs of the Kings Road and St. Paul’s Avenue on a 46,181m2 plot of land. It will also include several department stores, supermarket(s), various shops, restaurants, covered playground and underground parking spaces for 1,100 vehicles. The total indoor area of the new mall will be approximately 48,000m2.
We understand that planning permission for both malls has been granted and that construction work will start in 2011. Both malls should be completed in 2013.
(Currently, the ‘My Mall’ shopping mall at Zakaki in Limassol is the largest shopping mall in Cyprus, providing shopping facilities, entertainment and more than 1,600 parking spaces.)
