Project description

The Arena Centar Shopping Centre in Zagreb combines shopping, entertainment and sport under a single roof, thus offering a shopping experience that is unique in the region. OBO underfloor systems support the business through a flexible and visually discreet power supply. To protect the shopping centre against lightning and surge damage, OBO lightning protection systems were installed.

General building information

The Arena Centar Zagreb shopping centre, which cost 350 million euros, is located in the south-western part of the Croatian capital, very close to the Arena Sports Hall Zagreb. The largest foreign direct investments in south-eastern Europe since the start of the financial crisis were made to allow the construction of the huge shopping centre. More than 7,500 construction workers worked every day for twelve months until Arena Centar was opened at an official ceremony on 5 October 2010.

Today, more than 2,500 people work at Arena Centar. Across an area of 60,000 square metres, more than 220 shops offer their goods and services, including an Interspar hypermarket with an area of 10,000 square metres. A multiplex cinema with ten theatres, as well as a sky bowling centre with 24 lanes, round off the shopping experience.

Why did the customer choose OBO products?

In the sales areas, OBO underfloor systems provide a discreet, flexible power supply, thus extending the options for design and use of the shops. An OBO lightning protection system ensures a safe shopping experience even if there is a storm outside, protecting the shopping centre against damage from lightning and surges.
