Nope. They were hiring personnel a while back but from the outside it still looks like they've got lots of details left to finish.

Had me confused for a bit until I realized this is the East Coast Forum. I was thinking Blue Mall in Santo Domingo.

Now that you mention it, I have not seen anything even looking like construction whenever I pass there. Just looks the same as always.

There is a lot of activity around the back - I walk past a couple of times a week during my morning constitutional. Latest I've heard is that "phase one" will open in June.

During the first week of April the investors had a reunion detailing many of the features of this mall. The meeting took place inside the current structure and ended with a walking tour of the property.

Milos Kurac, well known real estate agent in PC, was present and filmed part of the reunion.

Does this Blue Mall have the same owners as the Santo Domingo Blue Mall?

I like the SD one, but for movies. As a shoppers mall, it's just about worthless to me.

Yes, the Velutini Group in association with Grupo Puntacana. Mr. C and Chiri Jr. helped the drone photographer for that video.

Construction is still ongoing but last I heard it was supposed to open in a few months.

Grand opening last week of August.

I have lived here literally almost 3.5 years, and they are still not done. Jumbo took way less time than that, and is already open for business. The mall itself isn't finished, but they're generating revenue.

Unfortunately, JUMBO opened too-soon...they didn't have the parking done, the outside of the building was a mess and the inside was disorganized. AND they hadn't trained their staff on how to check and bag and greet the public. They were just trying to get a leg-up on Super Pola.

Jumbo isn't a new company, I'm sure they will fix that asap. This year they are going to open two more stores (one in Puerto Plata and another in San Isidro).

This quick video show their 11 stores with the year they open each one.
