City Center one Split renovation details
Key centre upgrades will include the creation of a first-of-its-kind entertainment and leisure area for Croatia, lighting and interior design improvements, brand-new outdoor spaces, and measures to reduce energy consumption. More than 7,000m² of retail units will be reshaped to improve clustering, and more than 10,000m² of premises will be renovated.
Interior improvements will see new seating and the introduction of green elements throughout the centre. Improvements will also include significant layout and interior design upgrades to the food court, which opened as the first-of-its-kind in the Adriatic region. Additional changes will include gallery facades, upgraded escalators, and new lighting throughout the centre.
The 2023 refurbishment will also target the washrooms throughout the centre for overhaul, as well as extensive parking garage revitalisation. The latest round of work completely redesigns the parking garage entranceways on all floors to improve the arrival experience, as well as new colour-coded integration and full LED lighting inside the garage.
Sustainability features
In upgrading the existing building management system to optimise energy usage, the centre aims to reduce its total carbon footprint by 90 tonnes per year. One of the most significant upgrades is the installation of a new lighting system, which will reduce the centre’s energy usage for illumination by 665,000kWh.
Once complete, these measures are designed to secure a DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) certification for the building, which recognises industry benchmark sustainability credentials.
Contractors involved
TGP International, a hospitality agency specialising in food and drink master planning and interior design, is partnering with CC Real to develop a comprehensive entertainment area at the shopping centre.
