The People’s Palace Shopping Mall?

Posted in Business & Economics, Shopping | View Comments

When we heard that there was a proposal to turn the People’s Palace into a luxury shopping mall, we were momentarily shocked as to the authenticity of that claim, but then laughed as we realized that makes perfect sense in a city that claims to be adding 14 additional malls by 2012. As of todays’ date, they [local economists] are considering that there are nine malls in Bucharest completed. Five more to go.

Peoples Palace Mall

So the People’s Palace (or Palace of The Parliament as it is now referred to, akin to renaming the White House… just doesn’t work) should become a luxury shopping mall? Hhaahhhahaha… what a dumb, ignorant, arrogant.. you name it… idea. The one major landmark of Bucharest that still functions as it was somewhat intended should be turned into something so stereotypically Western and susceptible to market trends as a luxury shopping mall? hahhha again.

But the funny thing? It would probably be packed full of people day in and day out. I would go. You would definitely be able to see the inside of the Peoples Palace and rooms that you’ve never seen before. There is a lot of leasable space inside the mall that is definitely high end (albeit tacky) and there is ample parking underneath. The tax base for Bucharest would massively increase, there are excellent outside terraces for cafe and dining opportunities, it could even be host to some of the greatest nightclubs in the world. Hmmm maybe not such a bad idea after all.

Maybe they just meant people would have the ability to go shopping for Politicians. Who knows. Here are the links to the articles:

    When you’re in uncomfortable position and have no money to go out from that, you would have to receive the mortgage loans. Just because it should help you for sure. I get term loan every single year and feel myself fine just because of that.
