Overview
- IRSA said on Wednesday that construction is about 50% complete, the shopping centre is scheduled to open in mid‑2027, and roughly 400 workers are on site with staffing set to rise as interior works begin.
- The mall itself carries a US$60 million budget and will offer about 22,000 m² of retail space with near 100 stores, roughly 700 parking spaces, seven cinema screens and an 1,800 m² entertainment park.
- Design choices favor outdoors and public plazas rather than a conventional enclosed mall, with about 8,000 m² of exterior plazas and more than 15 distributed food and restaurant outlets instead of a single food court.
- Commercial leasing has started and IRSA says it is in talks with large retailers but has not publicly confirmed any anchor tenants yet.
- Distrito Diagonal sits on an eight‑hectare site purchased in 2017 and approved by the city council in 2018–19; the project includes 15 parcels for future housing, offices, hotel and services and is expected to create 1,000–1,200 jobs and attract about 600,000 monthly visitors once mature.
