Shopping City Sibiu

Shopping City Sibiu is the principal Sibiu super-regional shopping centre at Calea Dumbrăvii 1 in southern Sibiu, opened in 2007 with a subsequent major NEPI Rockcastle expansion investment of €20 million bringing the format to approximately 79,100 sqm of super-regional GLA spanning approximately 200 retail and service units. The property is owned and managed by NEPI Rockcastle as the principal NEPI Rockcastle Transylvanian regional asset outside Cluj-Napoca, positioning Sibiu as the dominant modern retail destination in the central Transylvanian market between Cluj-Napoca and Brașov.

The format combines the dual Auchan and Carrefour hypermarket grocery anchors with the principal international and Romanian vertical fashion register featuring H&M, New Yorker, C&A, Deichmann, Humanic, and the broader European fashion programming. The multiplex cinema anchor, the Leroy Merlin home improvement flagship, the Decathlon sporting goods anchor, the Mobexpert home furnishing anchor, the Flanco and Altex consumer electronics anchors, the dedicated dining circuit and food court, the Sephora beauty position, and the broader retail-and-services programming complete the contemporary central Transylvanian super-regional offer.

The catchment combines the dense Sibiu residential demographic, Sibiu is the principal Saxon heritage city in central Transylvania with approximately 170,000 residents and significant German community ties with the broader Sibiu County concentration of 430,000 regional residents and the substantial international tourist flow attracting approximately 1 million annual visitors to the UNESCO World Heritage Sibiu old town. Direct accessibility includes the principal A1 motorway access from the Bucharest and Timișoara corridors, the DN1 access from the Cluj-Napoca and Brașov corridors, and the dedicated parking infrastructure for approximately 3,500 vehicles.

NEPI Rockcastle coordinates the property management of Shopping City Sibiu within its broader Romanian portfolio. The asset’s commercial role within the Romanian retail map is the principal central Transylvanian Sibiu super-regional destination and the largest shopping centre in the Sibiu County market, complementing rather than competing with the broader Transylvanian retail competition and positioning Sibiu as a destination-grade shopping market for the cross-regional tourist and resident catchment along the principal Transylvanian motorway corridor.
