Centro comercial Nuevo Centro

Nuevo Centro is a shopping centre located in Valencia, Spain. It opened on 18 November 1982 on the grounds of the former Patronato de la Juventud Obrera, becoming the second shopping centre to open in Spain and the first of an urban character. Its name reflects the creation of a new commercial nucleus in Valencia, distinct from the existing city-centre retail area. Originally situated on the outskirts in the Campanar district, the city's growth has since integrated it into the heart of Valencia. The centre was promoted largely by local private initiative under the firm PLURFIN, S.A., whose president was Juan Lladró; the exterior plaza of the shopping centre was dedicated to him. Nuevo Centro was described as "la gran obra valenciana" (the great Valencian work). It was innovative from the start, being the first centre to feature a large department store (El Corte Inglés) as its anchor, rather than a hypermarket. In 1996 the centre underwent a deep renovation, adopting a more modern and functional design. For its 20th anniversary in 2002 the logo was redesigned, and in 2007, for its 25th anniversary, the exterior facade was renovated to give it a more modern look. Today, with more than 40 years of history, Nuevo Centro remains a reference for Valencians, offering a varied commercial mix and a dynamic events programme. The centre is managed by a Community of Owners (Comunidad de Propietarios). According to its official website, it has a total surface area of 206,400 m² and a commercial area of 112,800 m², distributed across two El Corte Inglés buildings, a Novotel hotel, an office building and the shopping mall or gallery. It houses around 250 shops and a three-level car park with 2,800 spaces. The website highlights more than 200 shops for shopping, along with leisure activities for children such as Centolandia Aventura and the Feria Infantil, as well as cultural events, music encounters and seasonal celebrations.
