The Port will hopefully be a place where people work as well as relax and live; it will be, as the name suggests, a harbour for whole families and people of various ages. The costs associated with the first phase of the project are expected to reach €280 million. Spread over an area of 95 hectares, the retail park will include supermarkets, hobby markets, furniture shops, and electronics shops. The retail park is scheduled for opening by the end of 2009, and the world’s leading brands will be represented there. It is envisaged that the largest shopping and entertainment centre, Port Mall, will be opened to the public at the end of 2010. It will cover a rentable area of 70,000 square metres suitable for water world facilities, a technical museum, a cinema, a fitness centre and a number of other attractions. The second phase will see housing development between 2010 and 2012.
