The four-story, 50,000 sq m mall opened in 1999, in a Ceausescu-era abandoned Turkish firm Bayindir Fiba SA. Located on Calea Vitan approximately 1 km outside Bucharest's historic center, the mall now stands in dynamic contrast to the undistinguished communist-era architecture that surrounds it.
The Bucharest Mall tenants include some 70 stores, including a large supermarket, over 25 restaurants and cafes, a ten-screen cinema multiplex, a bowling alley, a child-care center, a video arcade, a public library, and an exhibition space for young artists. These surround an airy atrium, with escalators running at skewed angles under the warehouse's original translucent dome. A central fountain on the ground floor periodically shoots jets of water four stories up, almost to the dome roof. The parking lot has over 1,000 spaces in a city where a parking lot specific to a commercial building is a novelty.
While several writers have criticized the mall's selection of stores as "lackluster", one journalist, Mihaela Gegea of Romania's English-language daily "Nine O'Clock", wrote in praise of "how a sordid building was transformed...into a more than enjoyable place."
Conveniently located near the BucharestMall, it is a proper short term rental.
Nestled in the center of Bucharest, the suite is tastefully designed, with laminate floors, comprising two elegant rooms: a living room and a relaxing bedroom.
Rental apartments in Bucharest are alternatives to hotel for the low price, central location, intimacy and the personal outlook that should not miss from any "far from home" staying.
The four-story, 50,000 sq m mall opened in 1999, in a Ceausescu-era abandoned hunger circus, or giant food warehouse.
The transformation of a communist-era warehouse into a modern mall was a 40-million-dollar project, performed by the Turkish firm Bayindir Fiba SA.
The BucharestMall tenants include some 70 stores, including a large supermarket, over 25 restaurants and cafes, a ten-screen cinema multiplex, a bowling alley, a child-care center, a video arcade, a public library, and an exhibition space for young artists.
