The real estate ownership of the mega mall is Seventh Development Spa., but the investment for the construction of the new spaces was made by Building spa, with the design entrusted to Building Engineering and Boffa Petrone & Partners. The company promoting the expansion is Promocentro Italy Srl while the marketing of the new area was entrusted to Cushman & Wakefield, a company responsible for managing the retail park.
