VIVO shopping PARK is a completely domestic investment by the namesake company, whose owners are MA Pavle Andric (holding a 90-percent stake) and Dejan Stanarcevic (10 percent), through the company NPA Smart Group.

The main facility and its accompanying units are integrated into a unique architectural entity, which is characterized by functionality, easy availability and visibility, as well as by the compliance with all the strictest and latest construction standards in terms of quality of installed equipment and materials used, energy efficiency, ecology, safety and fire protection.

Preparations are now underway for fencing the construction site and installing the building site infrastructure. The plan is to completely finish the retail park by end-March 2013.
