THE PROJECT
CHATEAU CRYSTAL Shopping Centre is conceived as a relatively small-scale project with a strong focus on fast service and a variety of new powerful brands, quality goods and services satisfying local taste and demand.
With a retail area of 9 465 sq.m. Chateau Crystal Shopping Centre will be the fastest service retail center in Sofia, providing unique value for its customers.
Chateau Crystal Shopping centre is an ECO-FRIENDLY building project. It will be designed with the latest green building technologies, with environmentally respectful, energy-efficient engineering systems.
Unique Location
CHATEAU CRYSTAL Shopping Centre is situated at the newly constructed, up-todate and pedestrian friendly roundabout interchange between the ring road of Sofia and Cherni Vrah Blvd, the latter being the major transport connection between the city centre and the southern luxurious residential districts of Sofia and Vitosha Mountain Natural Park and Ski Resort.
The lack of good traffic connection in the city makes the recently renovated Ring Road a main traffic artery to access not only its southern neighbourhoods but also any area of the city. Apart from that, a large portion of transit international traffic directed to Western Europe and vice versa is concentrated there. Another traffic originates from the satellite towns and villages to the west of Sofia bringing people having there jobs in the city.
The place is highly thriving being both the main entrance to the city luxurious residential area and a centre for the majority of the new business settlements along the Ring Road. The location features high growing population – the area to be serviced comprises more than 500,000 inhabitants. It is easily accessible by cars, public transport and by foot.
