King Cross Jankomir

King Cross Jankomir is a shopping centre located in Zagreb, Croatia, on Velimir Škorpik Street 34 in the neighbourhood of Jankomir.[1] It was financed by Coimpredil and Coop Consumatori Nordest[2] and opened on 21 September 2002.[3][2] The shopping centre has a gross area of 110,000 m2 (1,200,000 sq ft), 43,000 m2 (460,000 sq ft) of which is covered, and 29,000 m2 (310,000 sq ft) of retail space.[4] At the time of its opening, it was the largest shopping centre in Croatia. The shopping centre cost €67 million to build, and its investors partly funded the upgrade of the adjoining road infrastructure.[2]

The shopping centre suffered a 20% loss in revenue[5] and was rumoured to be the first centre in the city to close (and possibly be converted into a warehouse) due to the late 2000s recession.[6] Nevertheless, it remained in business.
