Promenada Shopping

[Rob5060]

I've driven past the new Promenada mall a couple of times recently and it looks like nobody working

Is it just the times I've gone past or anybody know if its stopped

Saw a few month's ago a programme on Dutch television in where they are still trying to find investors.

So think it's a money problem.

Would not be suprised if Central Festival opens sooner.

It opens in 30 days. They said so.

I guess all the workers you can't see are inside fitting out the sbops and ice arena.

Most of the outside construction is done, they'd be working on the inside now. The cranes moved out a week or two ago.

Doesn't mean that there can't be any delays, but clearly most of the construction is complete so I'm pretty confident it'll open soon enough, when they're ready.

Forecast was the first quarter.

Wait and see.

I for one am anxious to see it. See if it lives up to the promotion material several years ago.

Several years ago it was due to open end of 2011, now it's 2013, my gues is not before august, maybe later.

Again, it could be a money problem.

Haven't you noticed that all construction projects seem to go on and on. In the country I come from if you sign a contract to build a new house it is 90 days from date of signing to delivery. Here in 90 days you are lucky if the exterior walls are up in 90 days.

It looks like it will open quite soon. After i shot this video they started to work on all the individual shops wich takes a good month to finish.. Plans are to open the venue even if not all shops are occupied.. But as there is no real pressure since big parties like Rimping, H&M and Chichang already signed the deal they know things will be oke anyway.
