Sirkus Shopping opened on 3 October 2012 with a VIP opening, and to the general public on 4 October 2012. The centre covers 65,000 square metres and includes stores, health and service facilities. On its roof are 81 apartments totalling 8,000 square metres of residential space, plus over 800 indoor parking spaces.
