A new Integrated Retail Destination & Family Entertainment Center in Cluj Metropolitan Area
Urbano Group is investing 100 million EUR in a new major commercial real estate development, on a 25 hectares land in the heart of the Cluj Metropolitan Area.
The first phase of the Urbano Shopping & Living project (2024 – 2025) will integrate over 30 retailers and service providers, including a commercial galleria, a do-it-yourself retailer, a cash & carry hypermarket, a supermarket retailer and a unique fast food and drive-in hub.
The second phase (2026 – 2028) will bring in a unique concept for the Romanian market: an attractive mix of retail, community services and Family Entertainment Center offering various cultural, edutainment and leisure experiences, an indoor and outdoor sports area, office spaces, medical services, hospitality and events services and other community-oriented functions.
The developer targets BREEAM certification with a focus on green and sustainable solutions: energy efficiency and renewable energy production, green mobility, connection to the local transport system, bike tracks, environmentally friendly landscaping, eco-friendly water & waste management.
Urbano Shopping & Living is in the phase of design details, with the construction site expected to start in November 2024. The project will generate a major positive impact in the proximity area for the residents of Florești and Gilău and the west of the Cluj Metropolitan Area.
With direct access to DN1/E60 Cluj-Napoca – Oradea national road, the commercial park can also be accessed by metropolitan bus, with a dedicated bus station located on the premises. At 1.2 km there is the Gilău junction of the A3 Transylvania Motorway.
In the future, the project will benefit from direct access to Cluj Metropolitan Ring TR35 (2029), as well as to the Metropolitan Bike Track along the Someș River (2028).
