On Friday the 25th of September, Forum Lviv opened its doors to the public and welcomed thousands of shoppers and curious Lviv residents. Forum Lviv is Multi’s first shopping centre in Ukraine and is located in the historic inner city of Lviv and one of the most prestigious retail projects in the country. Multi Ukraine developed and owns Forum Lviv with two Ukrainian real estate partners, Galereja Centre and Bud House Group. Forum Lviv covers an area of 69,000 m2 with retail, restaurants, entertainment, a cinema and an underground car park.

‘’We are very pleased to have opened Forum Lviv today. We developed and realised the shopping centre under exceptionally difficult circumstances. We truly believe that it is one of our greatest achievements, and a milestone for Ukraine as a country. We have managed to create a feeling that Forum Lviv has always been here and is an essential part of the beautiful heart of Lviv. It is the first project in Ukraine developed to high European standards and it is BREEAM certified. We have established a reputation for Forum Lviv as a must-join project among retailers and are proud to have a 95% occupancy at completion’’,

Forum Lviv

Forum Lviv is located in the city centre on Pid Dubom Street, just a short walk from the city’s main square and famous Opera House. The three-storey shopping centre is topped by a level complete with cinema, leisure facilities and restaurants overlooking the city. It also has an underground parking garage with 600 spaces, the first of its kind in Lviv city. The Forum Lviv concept was created by TTDesign, Multi’s in-house design group, acclaimed for its outstanding urban development and architectural concepts. The local architect is the Lviv office of Tebodin Ukraine.

Lviv

Lviv, which is located near to the Polish border, is the cultural and economic centre of Western Ukraine. The city has more than 700,000 inhabitants and plays an important role at regional level. The centre was incorporated into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1998 and dates mostly from the Habsburg period. Lviv is increasingly popular with tourists, partly thanks to the successful organization of Euro 2012 in the city.
