Retroville

Retroville is a large multifunctional shopping and entertainment centre (TRC) in the Podilskyi district of Kyiv, Ukraine. It was built over six years and opened at the end of June 2020. The complex describes itself as a "lifestyle centre" rather than a conventional mall, combining retail, dining, entertainment, sport and public services under one roof. Its gross area is reported on its own website as 120,334 m², with 3,245 parking spaces, a food court and restaurants, a NOVUS grocery hypermarket, a Sport Life fitness centre, a Multiplex cinema, a bowling centre, a children's entertainment centre and a contact zoo. It also hosts service functions such as a bank, pharmacy, currency exchange, dry cleaning, ATMs, an MIA service centre and a passport service. The centre is positioned as an accessible, barrier-free space with seven barrier-free entrances and lifts. Retroville's tenant mix spans Ukrainian and international fashion, footwear, jewellery, electronics, home goods, children's products, cosmetics and sports brands. Its own news feed promotes launches and discounts from tenants such as SOVA, ARBER, KЮЗ, AURUM, MEGASPORT, BROCARD, ISEI, House, Reima, Betty Barclay, Frank Walder, VOVK WOMAN, VYTOKY, RYO, MISE EN SCENE and others, alongside events such as iPhone pre-orders and Chinese electric vehicle displays. The mall also operates its own charging stations for electric vehicles and has updated its food court and parking rules. On the evening of 20 March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Retroville was hit by a Russian missile attack. The building was partially destroyed, along with the former parking area and parked cars; the blast was strong enough to blow out windows in nearby apartment blocks. At least eight people were killed. The Russian Ministry of Defence claimed, without providing evidence accepted by Ukraine or independent observers, that Ukrainian soldiers were storing weapons, including a rocket launcher, in the shopping centre. In the years since, Retroville has returned to operation and continues to present itself as an active shopping, business and lifestyle destination in Kyiv.

On the evening of 20 March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Retroville was destroyed by a Russian missile attack.

This claim was not accepted by Ukraine or independent observers.
