Having such a big project opening during hard times in the country is once again a sign that our city is an attractive destination for investors. Besides the shopping center the city also received refurbished sidewalks and roads. We sincerely thank the investors for participating in the landscaping of the territory. I am confident that as the result of cooperation with Multi new jobs for Lviv citizens will be created,” comments Andriy Sadovyi, Mayor of Lviv.
