SES Spar European Shopping Centers has begun construction of the S-PARK Varaždin in the northwest of Croatia.
To begin with, the existing structures on the site will be demolished, with the construction work for the new retail park beginning two months later. The new S-PARK will breathe new life into this historic but long-abandoned site of the former “Varteks” textile factory. Where once textiles were produced, a diverse and modern retail park is set to open in 2027, featuring 12 shops, gastronomy with outdoor seating and a range of service offerings across an area of 11,500sq m. The centerpiece will be the region’s first INTERSPAR hypermarket. The real estate developer and operator SES is investing more than EUR28M in the project, thus continuing its expansion in the Croatian market.
S-PARK is the brand name for SES retail parks, which are characterised by their high-quality execution. The introduction of the new S-PARK in Varaždin will significantly improve the range of services and amenities available to the people in the city and the surrounding area, particularly in terms of local supply and attractive anchor stores.
The new S-PARK Varaždin is being developed on a site of around 50,000sq m, just some 500m from the city centre and directly on Zagrebačka ulica – one of the most-frequented main roads into the city. The transport connections for pedestrians, cyclists and users of public transportation are outstanding. The planned 430 customer parking spaces, e-charging stations, bicycle parking spaces and a new traffic circle will contribute to easy and comfortable access.
