A new modern and environmentally friendly shopping centre, OC Klokan, is under construction in Žilina, bringing an enhanced retail experience to the city. The project, located in a prime area next to the football stadium and near the railway station, is being developed by KLM Real Estate a.s. with HSF System SK, part of the PURPOSIA Group, serving as the general contractor. The shopping centre is set to be completed by autumn 2025.
HSF System Group has extensive experience in retail construction, having successfully delivered four Klokan shopping centres across the Czech Republic and Slovakia. “Klokan shopping centres focus on accessibility, functionality, and sustainability. In Žilina, we will apply our expertise to ensure the project meets the latest trends in retail development,” said Tomáš Kosa, Director of HSF System Group.
The OC Klokan project will feature two main buildings with retail spaces, technical facilities, and supply areas, alongside four additional standalone structures for fast food outlets, a flower kiosk, and a self-service car wash. The centre is designed to offer a wide variety of shops and services to cater to local residents and visitors.
Convenient surface parking will be integrated into the development, ensuring easy customer access from two main entry points. The project will seamlessly connect to existing and newly built transport infrastructure, enhancing accessibility.
OC Klokan aligns with the broader vision of Kangaroo Shopping Centres, which aim to create accessible, practical, and sustainable retail parks. These centres prioritize easy access to retail units, ample adjacent parking, and a diverse tenant mix.
“We want Kangaroo Shopping Centres to not only provide a modern and convenient shopping experience but also contribute to the local community by creating new job opportunities and improving transport access,” said Michal Kozáček, Board Member of KLM Real Estate a.s. “In Žilina, we aim to demonstrate once again that retail parks can be both effective and sustainable elements of urban development.”
With its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and focus on sustainability, OC Klokan Žilina is poised to become a key retail destination in the region upon its completion in 2025.
