Espacio Coruña

Espacio Coruña is a shopping and leisure centre located in the city of A Coruña, in the Galicia region of north-western Spain. It opened on 20 October 2009 after three years of construction, with an investment budget of 120 million euros. The centre was developed as a mixed-use destination combining retail, dining, entertainment, sport, health, training and office space, and it is one of the larger commercial complexes in the city. The centre covers approximately 41,000 square metres of built area, with the official website describing around 40,000 square metres of space dedicated to shopping, sport, leisure, health, training and offices, within a wider site of more than 100,000 square metres. Its design emphasises natural light and accessible architecture. Anchor and key tenants have included a Mercadona supermarket, and the centre originally featured a leisure plaza with a children's play area and eight cinema screens, one of them equipped with 3D projection and special effects. Parking is a major feature: the centre provides around 2,000 parking spaces, and the official website highlights free parking, dedicated motorcycle and bicycle parking, and additional services such as baby changing rooms, pet-friendly access, touch information screens, car washing and a bus and taxi stop. Ownership of Espacio Coruña has changed several times. In May 2013 the centre was acquired by Eneas Real Estate. In October 2013 it came under the management of Blackstone. In August 2017 it changed hands again when it was bought by the Basque group Inbisa, which remains its owner. The centre holds environmental, BREEAM Final and accessibility certifications. In recent years Espacio Coruña has pursued a diversification strategy, adding new operators and tenants. According to its official website, the centre has closed contracts for 3,300 square metres with four new companies and is working on bringing in a new cinema operator, while also strengthening its model with the arrival of Sutega. The centre markets itself as a "todo en uno" (all-in-one) destination where supermarket, shops, leisure, dining, fitness and professional services are available in the same place, with units offered for sale and rent.
