Rīga Plaza

Construction began in 2007 and the shopping center was opened in 2009. The development of the project was headed by a joint venture of the two companies "New Century Holdings" and "Plaza Centers NV", with the management of the opened centre being assigned to "Euro Mall Centre Management".

In February 2010 a cinema with 8 auditoriums and a total seating capacity of 1524 was opened in the centre by the company "New Europe Cinema".^[1]

In 2011, a new bowling alley was created in Riga Plaza with the name FantasyPark. The bowling alley to this day is located in the same area as the cinema.

In 2016, the centre was sold for €93.4m to an unnamed global investment fund.^[2]

Shortly before Christmas 2016, the centre was briefly closed and evacuated by the municipal police for technical reasons.^[3] Other locations of the supermarket chain "Prisma" were closed during the same period.

In 2017, the aforementioned chain "Prisma" ceased its operations in Latvia and subsequently closed the store at the Riga Plaza. Shortly after, the shopping centre announced an agreement with the Lithuanian company "Maxima", which is expected to open a new store at the centre in Spring 2018.^[4]
