Blending heritage and innovation, EntreCampos is undergoing
a major transformation to become ‘Lisbon’s new original’ in Portu-
gal. This mixed-use project by developer Fosun Hive Iberia covers
public spaces of 17,000sq m, residential (three buildings), offices (seven
buildings) and retail (75 stores) over a total gross construction area of
330,000sq m. Due to open in 2027, it follows a holistic ESG approach
designed to exceed high environmental standards like LEED Platinum
and WELL, with geothermal and solar energy, energy-saving glazing
and efficient chillers among other strategies. Driven by the local com-
munity, it is intended as a hub where life, commerce and work converge
around an architectural, urban and technological landmark.
The Promenada Mall in Bucharest, Romania is the flagship project
in NEPI Rockcastle’s €795M development programme and a project of
extraordinary scale and complexity which is set to redefine the retail
landscape of the Romanian capital and its Business District starting
2027. The existing 39,300sq m shopping centre is being extended
through the addition of 55,400sq m, which will transform the retail
mall into a dynamic mixed-use destination, combining retail, office
space, a live theatre, a state-of-the-art cinema and a four-star inter-
national business hotel. Considered the largest retail development
currently under construction in CEE, the development responds to
strong demand from international retailers seeking prime space in the
heart of Bucharest’s most affluent district and 68 per cent of the new
space is already let. Brands like Zara and Peek & Cloppenburg are using
this as an opportunity to relocate to the new retail space, upgrading
their current stores to their latest concepts. This outstanding project is
reinforcing NEPI Rockcastle’s position as the premier owner, operator
and developer of retail real estate in Central and Eastern Europe, one
of the fastest evolving and dynamic markets in Europe.

to Battersea, a 600-seat cinema, enhanced Waitrose, flagship retail,
creative space, office accommodation and 47 residential apartments,
as well as an extraordinary art installation by renowned London-based
artist Shezad Dawood. The scheme celebrates the community, heritage
and architecture of the area. Following a local consultation, which
highlighted the resounding call for more independent uses focused on
