Agora Mall Arad reopens following major refurbishment

Business Forum
Agora Mall Arad reopened its doors following an extensive renovation and repositioning process, with strategic consultancy provided by the retail team at Cushman & Wakefield Echinox.

The new 36,000 sqm project is positioned as a local retail destination with a diverse mix of retailers adapted to the needs of the community.

Dana Radoveneanu, Head of Retail Agency, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, said: "Agora Mall is a clear example of our ability to deliver customised strategies that meet both market demands and consumer expectations. The Romanian retail sector remains dynamic, and regional cities offer solid growth potential. With a significant increase in modern retail space this year, and considering developers' announced plans, this segment continues to be an essential engine for investment and development in the local real estate market."

As part of the repositioning strategy, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox secured leases for approximately 7,300 sqm of retail space for a variety of brands.
