“Last year in January we announced our turnover record, but once again we achieved turnover growth in 2017 and we also exceeded the previous top visitor numbers,” commented Ants Vasar, Member of the Board of Viru Keskus.

In 2017, 15.9 million people visited the centre, which is 200 000 more than in the last period. In 2017, the turnover of Viru Keskus was €141.6 million, which is 4.6% more than in 2016.

According to Colliers International Estonia, the turnover rate per square meter in Viru Keskus notably exceeds even the results of the 5 best shopping centres in Helsinki and Riga.
