Overview
- Real Plaza said it will tear down the Trujillo complex and replace it with a completely new mall, not a remodel, backed by a S/500 million investment.
- The Fiscalía still holds the food‑court area under an ongoing investigation into last year's roof collapse, which blocks demolition from starting.
- Plans call for more than 83,000 square meters of retail space that is about 57% larger, six large‑format stores, over 115 brands, and more than 1,500 parking spaces with new public areas such as a park and dining boulevard.
- The company estimates about 24 months of construction once designs finish and permits are issued, and it says the project will follow international safety standards with independent reviews and specialized oversight.
- Real Plaza projects more than 12,000 direct and indirect jobs, and nearby shop owners expect the rebuild to revive foot traffic after steep losses since the closure.
