According to 021, despite the fact that tenants were preparing for today’s opening, they received notification that the mall will not open late last night, one hour before midnight. Tenants who went to the 021 editorial office stated that they were surprised by the decision of the company “Nepi Real Estate” (owner of the Promenade) to inform them at the last minute that it will not work due to problems with the permit, which they did not receive in the additional term.
“During the state of emergency and the last few days, when it became clear that the shopping malls would start operating, the Promenade Management did not announce anything, but we were all preparing because we saw the decision of the Crisis Staff and Nepi issued a statement that its installations in Kragujevac will begin. ” to work on May 8th. However, on Thursday before midnight, although everyone was preparing to work, we were informed that no further work would be done because a use permit was allegedly not issued due to certain stores, “said one of the tenants who asked to stay. . anonymous, reports the portal.
Tenants who contacted the editorial staff of Portal 021 say they are familiar with the Promenade’s problem regarding obtaining a use permit due to groundwater pumping and fire protection, and say that Nepi performed work within from the building during the emergency to eliminate the problem, but were surprised. A statement from the mall owner, who blamed the tenants.
“Due to the inability to collect appropriate documentation for tenant facilities in a timely manner, and also given the restrictive measures in place as a result of Covid-19, which contributed to further delays, the process for obtaining a permit of use is still ongoing. Please note that stores cannot be opened until the procedure is completed, which we are convinced will happen in the next seven days. We will inform you about the exact opening date as soon as possible, and certainly at least a day in advance, “he says. they are the notice that Nepi sent to the tenants.
Tenants rated Promenade Management’s behavior as irresponsible and recalled that during the state of emergency they had a dispute that has so far been unresolved regarding rent payment. That is, unlike the owners of other shopping centers, Nepi did not cancel the rental payment or offer a rental discount for two months in which there was no income, but asked to pay the full rental price of the space.
“They offered to defer payment for 60 days, but it’s still a huge expense for some stores that haven’t been open for two months, and they also have fixed costs. It’s not a serious problem for large retail chains, but there are plenty of people who” That group is a complete business. That is why a group of about 50 small tenants organized themselves and requested a meeting with the Administration. However, there is still no response, “say tenants of 021.rs.
The Promenade Administration confirmed for portal 021 that the installation will not work until further notice, but did not clarify the problem with the use permission.
“The mall administration, acting in accordance with the recently issued regulation by crisis staff on relief measures, made a decision on the reopening. The walk will be open to all visitors for the next week, with special protective measures for all visitors and employees. ” out of patience, precise information will be published on the opening in the coming days, “said the letter from the Boardwalk sent to the editorial staff of Portal 021.
Portal 021 asked the Administration of this shopping center for additional clarifications on the permit and the closure of the facility, as well as on the payment of the lease of the facilities, and as they said, the use permit is in the process of technical acceptance, but Due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus, final actions have been postponed, adding that the aforementioned process is carried out in accordance with all laws and regulations.
Portal 021 adds that they are convinced that the building permit registry maintains that the Promenade does not yet have a use permit, and that the last additional 45 days to obtain it expired on April 1.
As the portal recalls, in the second half of 2018, when the installation was almost finished, it was established that the investor decided on a cheaper variant of foundations and protection against groundwater, which is not suitable for this part of Novi Sad, where There used to be a swamp. As it turned out, the MUP also did not issue fire permits to the investor. The ride received a temporary work permit for a year, but even that was not enough and new extensions followed.
