Developing cutting-edge retail centers for the future of Bucharest: M Core initiates construction of a new M Park in the Ghencea District
The M Park retail development, a new venture by M Core in the heart of Bucharest, is poised to revolutionize the city's shopping scene. Located on Prelungirea Ghencea Street, no. 344–348, the project spans approximately 51,400 sqm of land, with a total built-up retail area of around 14,400 sqm [1].
This modern retail centre is designed to cater to the dynamic residential area of Prelungirea Ghencea, offering a curated mix of national and international brands that align with the everyday shopping needs of local residents [1][2].
With sustainability at the forefront, M Park incorporates green technologies, including electric vehicle charging stations. The development will also employ efficient sustainable construction measures, aligning with M Core’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives [1]. The aim is to contribute to the city’s sustainable development beyond purely commercial activities.
Clemens Petschnikar, CEO of Square 7, part of M Core, has emphasized that the M Park project is not just commercial, but also aims to contribute positively to the city's sustainable development [3]. This aligns with Square 7 and M Core's commitment to sustainability and ESG principles, as demonstrated in their approach to the M Park project [4].
The official opening of the retail centre, named M Park, is expected in 2027 [1]. Construction is planned to begin in 2026, with the project currently in the urban planning phase [5].
