The Gulliver shopping center, a major retail and office complex in the capital, is expected to open in stages, though the exact dates of its launch have not yet been determined. The project, which has been a topic of discussion among investors and local businesses, is now facing delays as an audit of all its operational systems is still in progress. The press service of Oschadbank reported that the final technical conclusions from this audit will be crucial in determining whether the complex will be operational by the New Year.
The uncertainty surrounding the timeline has raised questions about the project’s readiness and the potential impact on the surrounding commercial environment. While the project’s proponents argue that the phased approach will allow for smoother operations and better customer experience, critics are concerned about the delay and its effect on the local economy. The capital’s retail sector, already facing competition from online retailers, may be further affected if the shopping center opens later than anticipated.
Oschenbank, the financial institution behind the project, has stated that the audit is a necessary step to ensure the safety and functionality of the complex. The results of this audit will not only influence the opening date but also determine the financial commitment required for the project’s completion. Investors and stakeholders are now closely monitoring the progress of the audit, hoping for clarity on the project’s timeline and its implications for the capital’s economic landscape.
