San Juan de Lurigancho, The Olive Trees and Stone bridge are preparing to welcome new shopping centers that promise to revitalize their respective local economies and offer residents a wide variety of entertainment and shopping options. These inaugurations will generate employment and increase the competitiveness of the retail sector in Lima Norte.
The opening of these shopping centers is scheduled for the next few years. Each shopping center will have well-known brand stores, leisure areas, cinemas and food areas, all under strict safety and well-being measures. Thus, San Juan de Lurigancho, Los Olivos and Puente Piedra will see a significant change in their urban landscape, marking progress in their commercial development.
What are the shopping centers that will be inaugurated in San Juan de Lurigancho, Los Olivos and Puente Piedra?
Leslie Passalacqua, president of the Retail and Distribution Guild of the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL), told Andina that 12 shopping centers will be opened by 2025, among which four important projects stand out in the districts of San Juan de Lurigancho, Los Olivos and Puente Piedra.
In San Juan de Lurigancho, two major developments will stand out: the San Juan de Lurigancho Shopping Center and the Real Plaza de San Juan de Lurigancho, with investments yet to be defined and 110 million dollars, respectively. Los Olivos will see the opening of the Central Plaza Los Olivos, with an investment of 50 million dollars. Finally, in Puente Piedra, the highlighted project is Las Vegas Plaza Puente Piedra, with an investment of 40 million dollars.
When will these shopping centers open?
The opening of several shopping centers has been delayed by the economic recession that affected the country in 2023, which forced the postponement of several investments. Below, we detail what the opening dates would be.
- San Juan de Lurigancho Shopping Center: 2025
- Royal Plaza of San Juan de Lurigancho: 2025
- Central Plaza Los Olivos: end of 2025
- Las Vegas Plaza Puente Piedra: May 2025
What other shopping centers will open until 2025?
In addition to the developments in San Juan de Lurigancho, Los Olivos and Puente Piedra, the CCL has announced the opening of several other shopping centers in different parts of the country. Among them are the Eco Plaza Wilson, with an investment of 30 million dollars; Lifestyle La Molina, with 60 million dollars; and the Eco Plaza Piura, with 25 million dollars.
Likewise, the Plaza Nicolini will be inaugurated with an investment of 70 million dollars, the Mall Plaza Cusco also with 70 million dollars, the Real Plaza Milenia in San Isidro with 120 million dollars and the Real Plaza Higuereta with a similar investment. The reopening of the iconic Camino Real de San Isidro has also been mentioned, although the investment for the latter is yet to be defined.
What areas have potential for shopping centers?
Leslie Passalacqua has identified Lima Norte and Lima Sur as areas with high potential for the development of new shopping centers or the expansion of existing ones. These areas have proven to be highly profitable, as evidenced by the successes of Plaza Norte, Mega Plaza and Mall del Sur. “The north and south are strategic areas that continue to show strong growth potential in the retail sector.. There is an unmet demand that these new developments can take advantage of,” Passalacqua explained.
The continued transformation of established shopping centers such as Plaza San Miguel and Jockey Plaza serves as an example of how expansions and renovations can maintain the relevance and competitiveness of these spaces. Passalacqua also mentioned Larcomar as another example of a shopping center that could continue to evolve to offer new experiences to its visitors.
