November 8th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) The developers behind a new “mega mall” announced that after several delays, they are prepared to break ground on the “City Mall” on November 22nd in Alajuela. The developers said the mall would be open for business in October 2015.
The project is being developed by Honduran development firm, Lady Lee. Construction firm Macoma will be in charge.
The mega-mall will consist of an immense 185,000 square meters of construction (nearly 2 million square feet) according to unverified reports – which would make it amongst one of the largest malls in the world, according to a Wikipedia ranking.
The resulting mall will be substantially larger than Multiplaza Escazu, and will sit on a 5-hectare property.
City Mall will feature 2,400 parking spaces, 10 cinemas and an amusement park complete with a Ferris wheel.
