Transformation of Common Areas at Vilnius Akropolis
The common spaces on the second floor of the shopping and entertainment centre Akropolis in Vilnius have undergone a remarkable renovation. With over 1,500 square meters freshly modernized, visitors are now welcomed into a more inviting, brighter, and comfortable environment. An investment of approximately EUR 800,000 has been dedicated to enhancing these communal areas, aligning with contemporary design standards.
Objectives Behind the Renovation
Paulius Pocius, head of marketing and communications at Akropolis Group, shares insights on the motivation behind the upgrade: "Our goal is to offer modern, convenient shopping experiences that cater to our visitors’ desires. We aimed for a seamless renovation process that would not disrupt the daily activities of the centre. Most renovations were carried out outside of business hours, allowing normal operations to continue comfortably."
Highlights of the Renovation
Key improvements of the second floor include the replacement of flooring and ceiling materials, integration of modern lighting solutions, the introduction of new architectural features, and a cozy resting zone for visitors. This modernization reflects a shift towards creating multifunctional spaces that accommodate a range of activities.
Engaging Events for Visitors
Pocius mentions that the updated common areas will now serve as venues for diverse events. As interest in shopping evolves to encompass meaningful leisure activities, Akropolis will host thematic events, exhibitions, and educational programs aimed at enriching visitors’ time off. "The upgraded spaces will provide even greater comfort and contribute to an inviting atmosphere," he stated.
Launch of New Bookshop and Family Entertainment Areas
At the end of May, the revitalized bookshop Pegasas opened its doors on the second floor, offering a fresh shopping experience that adheres to the latest retail concepts. This significant retail spot is recognized as the largest bookshop not only in Lithuania but throughout the Baltic region.
Additionally, this summer marks the opening of a new family entertainment area. The active leisure and entertainment park, MaryMaris, spans over 2,000 square meters and boasts a host of attractions including trampolines, climbing tracks, and various play areas. The park aims to enhance family experiences with dedicated birthday celebration rooms and a restaurant on site.
Modern Play Areas for Families
A newly designed playground located on the first floor is another highlight of the family-friendly improvements made at Vilnius Akropolis. This modern playground was launched last year and has seen further enhancements, making it a top-tier play space for children.
Recent Developments at Other Akropolis Locations
This renovation follows the completion of similar improvements at the Klaip?da Akropolis, where over 11,000 square meters of common areas were also modernized, with a significant investment of nearly EUR 8 million. These upgrades showcase the Akropolis Group's commitment to providing premier shopping and entertainment experiences across its locations.
