Multiplan reopens shopping malls in Rio de Janeiro with reduced hours

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The company has four malls in operation in the city of Rio de Janeiro: Barra Shopping, New York Center City, Village Mall, and Park Shopping Campo Grande. A fifth, Park Jacarepaguá, should be opened at the end of the year.

In total, the reopened establishments add up to a little more than 170,000 square meters of gross leasable area. On average, the four malls ended December with an occupancy rate of almost 95%.

In early April, Rio mayor Eduardo Paes issued a municipal decree authorizing non-essential trade from 10 AM to 6 PM. Doctors and epidemiologists criticized the measure since the state is registering high levels of infections and deaths from the coronavirus.
