The Nivy Centrum
The Nivy Centrum shopping mall in Bratislava, inaugurated in 2021, is a landmark project that blends modern retail stores, office space, a central bus station and a rooftop park in one location.
The shopping centre totals twenty-three hectares in a former brownfield area near Bratislava's Old Town. Developed by HB Reavis, one of the leading real estate developers in Central and Eastern Europe, the project looked to bring a multifunctional urban space to revitalize the surrounding area. Architectural design was led by the renowned Benoy studio in collaboration with Siebert+Talaš.
Built for a Broad Mass of People
The centre’s green roof, spanning 12,000 square meters, features recreational areas such as a half kilometre running track, workout zones, functional terraces and a playground for children. Designed to mirror Slovakia’s flora, the rooftop offers stunning views of Bratislava’s city centre and castle.
Additionally, the food market within Nivy Centre enhances the city’s culinary scene with local produce stalls, cooking shows and workshops. The shopping centre boasts a diverse mix of international and local brands, with almost 90% of its 70,000 square meters of retail space occupied.
The facades of Nivy Centrum, a crucial aspect of its modern aesthetic, were crafted by the Czech firm DAKO GRC from glass fibre reinforced concrete. Our Rohožník cement plant, located only 46 km from Nivy, as locals call it, provided the white cement for the home country project. The high quality and bright white colour of our cement contributed greatly to the intricate design details of the facades as well as the mall's contemporary appearance.
Sustainability Confirmed by a Certificate
The Nivy zone has been awarded a BREEAM Communities certification at the Excellent level, making it one of only 13 zones globally to meet this standard. This certification evaluates the project's sustainability in terms of housing quality, civic amenities, infrastructure and environmental impact. The mall also serves as an important transport hub, connecting Bratislava to over 300 destinations domestically and internationally, including a direct route to the Vienna Airport.
