HB Reavis, the international workspace provider, has seen its Nivy mall attract huge numbers of people in its first few days of operation. Just 24 days after launch, it has received its first million visitors, almost 42,000 per day on average – not least to explore its many multifunctional features. More than 28,000 of them are already enjoying the Ahoj Nivy! application with its mix of different features like special offers, news, and gamification perks – a great opportunity for retailers to communicate directly with clients.

A thoroughly unique concept, the Nivy mall combines a 70,000 sq m shopping mall with an international bus terminal, green roof, and fresh produce market. Almost 90% of the mall’s GLA has now been taken up, with the roster of brands including global names such as Peek & Cloppenburg, Lindex, Zara, Pull&Bear, Massimo Dutti, Mohito, and Sinsay.

Eat, work, run, and road trip

As well as its range of fresh produce, the 3,000 sq m food market is now the go-to lunch and dinner option for the area, with its cooking shows and workshops already hot tickets.

Upstairs, the “Trafalgar square” size green roof, full of plantings reflecting Slovakia’s diverse greenery, boasts two play areas and a half kilometer running track. The views of the new and Old Town city centres are also dotted with buses heading from the international bus terminal below to more than 300 towns and cities in Slovakia and abroad, including a direct route to Vienna airport. On top of that, HB Reavis has invested 40 million Euros into the surrounding infrastructure, including a new 500 metre long boulevard with an underground roundabout, new cycle paths with a bike parking tower, new pavements, and public areas full of greenery.

Next door, Nivy Tower is Slovakia’s tallest office building. It meets WELL and BREEAM’s highest specifications, and includes 30,000 sq m of traditional, serviced, and coworking workspaces that have already attracted tenants including Resco.net and Capco.

BREEAM Communities 5th best zone ever

The wider Nivy zone complex is certified with BREEAM Communities at the Excellent level. The certification assesses areas for their housing quality, civic amenities, infrastructure, and the use of energy and natural resources, as well as lifestyle and economic opportunities - and of the 13 zones that have managed to reach Excellent level, Nivy scored the 5th highest.
