Magnesia shopping center celebrates its opening

Magnesia opened its doors to the public on Thursday 28 June. The centre has more than 65 units within a total area of about 19,000 square metres of retail space. It accommodates a hypermarket, cinema, food court, leisure facilities and a kids’ playground, and it will be the new meeting point for Manisa and its neighbouring districts. Magnesia is the first shopping centre in this city of more than 300,000 inhabitants. The centre is Redevco’s third shopping centre development in Turkey. The investor is planning a BREEAM-certification.


The public opening ceremony began with speeches by the Governor of Manisa Halil İbrahim Daşöz, Mayor of Manisa Cengiz Ergün, CEO of Redevco Andrew Vaughan, and Managing Director of Redevco Turkey Patrick van Dooyeweert, and was attended by many others. The official ceremony took place at 11.00 am and doors opened to the public at 12.30 pm.

Magnesia Shopping Center is the first to bring a fully modern organised retail offer to Manisa. The centre comprises 19,000 sq. m. retail space. The key tenants are Tesco Kipa, Cinens, LC Waikiki, Teknosa, Fun Plus, Mango and D&R.

Besides the huge variety of products, Magnesia SC also offers fun opportunities for the whole family.
