Overview
Shopping centre Rudnik (Slovene: Nakupovalno središče Rudnik) is a large retail area located in the Rudnik district of Ljubljana, Slovenia. It developed in a former industrial zone and is the second-largest shopping area in the city. Unlike the BTC City complex, it is not managed by a single commercial company. The centre spans approximately 50 hectares on the Ljubljana Marsh (Ljubljansko barje). Most of its buildings were constructed from the 1990s onward. More than 200 businesses operate there, including major retailers such as E.Leclerc (present since 1999), Rutar, Merkur, and Obi. The area also contains two additional shopping centres: Supernova Ljubljana Rudnik and Park Center Ljubljana - Rudnik (formerly Nakupovalni park Supernova). The centre has faced infrastructure challenges due to construction on marshland; in 2011, the City Municipality of Ljubljana repaired three connecting roads damaged by subsidence at a cost of 674,000 euros. The shopping centre has published a magazine called Izložba and operated a website, nsrudnik.si, both managed by the advertising agency Vodik.
History
Shopping centre Rudnik is a retail area in the Rudnik district of Ljubljana, Slovenia, that developed in a former industrial zone. It is the second-largest shopping area in the city. Unlike BTC City, it is not managed by a single commercial company. The centre occupies approximately 50 hectares on the Ljubljana Marsh (Ljubljansko barje). Most of its buildings were constructed from the 1990s onward. Over 200 businesses operate there, including major retailers such as E.Leclerc (present since 1999), Rutar, Merkur, and Obi. The area also contains two additional shopping centres: Supernova Ljubljana Rudnik and Park Center Ljubljana - Rudnik (formerly Nakupovalni park Supernova). The centre has faced infrastructure problems due to construction on marshland. Because building on the marsh with pilings is more expensive, investors avoided it, leading to damaged sewage systems and three internal connecting roads. In May 2011, a Lidl store had to cease operating at its original location due to subsidence. The neighbouring Rutar store did not have these problems. In 2011, the City Municipality of Ljubljana repaired the three roads, which had become wavy from subsidence, at a cost of 674,000 euros from the municipal budget. Vertical openings were filled with lightweight concrete and geotextile was laid under the bedding material. The total remediation was estimated to cost 4 million euros. Store owners who had requested the remediation did not want to pay for it, arguing that they had already paid their share through utility contributions. The centre's tenants published a magazine called Izložba, and a website, nsrudnik.si, operated; both were managed by the advertising agency Vodik.
