Grand Mall is the largest multifunctional shopping center in western Croatia—located on the Black Sea coast of Batumi, in the city's busiest tourist zone—featuring around 100 branded stores, food outlets, a cinema, bowling alley, fitness club, and a children's entertainment center. Grand Mall will have a significant impact on regional development, creating up to 1,000 new jobs.
The building's concept and design were developed by professional companies with decades of experience in the development and management of European shopping centers. The shopping center's architecture stands out in many ways. The investment process utilized advanced engineering solutions tailored specifically to the operational requirements of a retail and entertainment center. To improve the building's energy efficiency, appropriate technological methods have been implemented, reducing standard electricity consumption by 35%.
The shopping center, with a total leasable area of over 24,000 square meters, consists of 5 floors. Retail outlets are located on the first 4 floors, while the minus floor features a parking lot for 150 cars. Grand Mall has become a member of DAR HOLDING GROUP, which encompasses businesses such as the Modus hypermarket chain (with six branches in Tbilisi and Batumi), construction and development company (Dar Building), hotel business (Era Palace Hotel / Ramada Hotel), and building materials manufacturing (Dar Capital).
Since 1999, DAR HOLDING GROUP has been a successful construction company that also engages in the wholesale and retail trade of construction and renovation materials on the Georgian market; a company uniting over 1,200 employees and operating with a total net turnover of 250 million Georgian Lari. The company's completed or under-construction projects stand out for their scale, diversity, innovative approaches, and modern architecture. Successful construction business projects pave the way for even more ambitious plans. In the future, the company aims to expand not only within the region, but throughout Georgia.
