In statements released on Thursday, Malls Peru announced the start of the construction of a new shopping center in the northern region of La Libertad.

It was reported that Malls Peru is to invest $20 million in the construction of a new shopping center in Trujillo, the capital of La Libertad.

The new shopping center, which has been named Los Jardines Open Plaza, is the fifth of the open plaza shopping centers Malls Peru has invested in.

Los Jardines Open Plaza is to be built on the 25,000 square meter (269,098 square foot) piece of land where Los Jardines Hotel used to be.

It will have a Tottus supermarket, a Sodimac hardware store as well as establishments such as Banco de Crédito del Perú (BCP), BBVA Banco Continental, Radio Shack, Lavanderías Pressto and Do It.

The shopping center will also have restaurants such as China Wok and Norky's among others.

Los Jardines Open Plaza will directly employ 1,000 people and indirectly provide jobs for 3,000 more, said the general manager of Malls Peru, Jose Antonio Contreras.

It has been estimated that the shopping center will be built in six months and be inaugurated by the end of this year.
