BelaVista Retail Park is officially open!

BelaVista Retail Park, the new reference point in the Sintra region, had its official opening on July 9th.

Among BelaVista Retail Park’s shops and services are Fitness Hut (scheduled to open in September), the Altissimo climbing gym, the furniture store Feira dos Sofás, the Feel It Dance Company, the São Francisco Xavier pharmacy, CIN coatings, Delicatesse retaurante, Europcar e the SPACar car treatment service.

This development means the creation of more than 100 new jobs and a €3.6+ million investment, and represents an important milestone in the urban transformation of the Cacém-São Marcos axis.

The event began with a fun open air zumba and toning class, by Fitness Hut, followed by a series of dynamic performances by Feel It Dance Company. Not even that morning’s high temperatures slowed the participants high energy and good mood.

Mr. Eduardo Quinta Nova, a Sintra municipality alderman, made a s’peech, followed by some words from Mr. Manuel Ferrão, a representative of Salam – Exclusive Properties, the retail park’s developer. After that there was the customary ribbon cutting.

Aside from a toast in the Delicatesse restaurant, the guests and visitors also had the chance to try out rock climbing at Altissimo, one of the largest climbing gyms in the country.

After this successful event “Salam has already begun the preparations of a series of additions and alterations to the retail park, to take place in the next few years, including more food options and many more parking spaces, so that BelaVista Retail Park can become an even more unavoidable stop for those who work and live in this area of Greater Lisbon,” says Sofia Necel, from the management.
