Open Plaza Los Jardines

Open Plaza Los Jardines is a shopping center in Trujillo, in Peru’s La Libertad region. It is located in the Los Jardines area east of Trujillo’s Historic Centre and serves as a retail and services hub for the city and surrounding communities. The complex occupies approximately 25,000 square metres and follows the power-center format used by its operator, Malls Perú. Rather than being organized primarily around a large enclosed mall structure, the format brings together several high-traffic anchor businesses and a group of smaller specialist stores, supported by food and financial services. The property was developed on the site of the former Los Jardines Hotel. It opened on December 3, 2008, with a reported investment of US$26 million, becoming the fifth shopping center constructed in Peru by Malls Perú. Its opening expanded modern organized retail in eastern Trujillo and added a substantial commercial destination outside the city’s historic core. The center’s principal anchors include Sodimac, the home-improvement retailer, and Tottus, the hypermarket operator. Other listed tenants and smaller operators have included Do it, Coolbox, Boticas BTL, and Topitop. The tenant mix therefore combines groceries, home improvement, consumer electronics and accessories, pharmacy services, apparel, and other everyday retail categories. A food court provides dining options, while a Financial Boulevard adds banking and related financial services to the center’s offer. Open Plaza Los Jardines is part of the Malls Perú business associated with Falabella Perú. Its positioning is practical and convenience-oriented: the power-center model emphasizes accessible anchor stores, complementary specialty retailers, food services, and routine consumer services in a single destination. The available reference material does not identify a separate corporate website, a distinct founding company, or a publicly listed security for the property. It also does not provide detailed information on later expansions, tenant changes, management, or financial performance.

Open Plaza Los Jardines was developed in Trujillo on the former site of the Los Jardines Hotel. The project formed part of Malls Perú’s expansion of organized retail in Peru and represented the company’s power-center format, which relies on several major anchor tenants supported by smaller retailers and service businesses. The property opened on December 3, 2008, with a reported investment of US$26 million. It was identified as the fifth shopping center constructed in Peru by Malls Perú. The approximately 25,000-square-metre center was established in the Los Jardines area east of Trujillo’s Historic Centre. Its anchor offer included Sodimac and Tottus, giving the complex a combination of home-improvement and hypermarket retail. Smaller operators such as Do it, Coolbox, Boticas BTL, and Topitop were also identified as part of the tenant mix. Food-court facilities and a Financial Boulevard broadened the property beyond merchandise retail and made it a combined shopping, dining, and services destination. The center belongs to the Malls Perú business and is associated with Falabella Perú. The available reference material does not document a separate legal entity, a later rebranding, major expansion, executive appointments, controversies, or financial results. Its documented role is that of a regional retail complex serving Trujillo through a multi-anchor power-center model.
