Callo noted that the total investment in this mega-complex will amount to 500 million soles by the year-end, however about 480 million have already invested.

"Corporación EW has already invested about 240 million soles, added to the finishes and investment of the complex’s operators, this investment is doubled," he said.

Plaza Norte will have a 13,000-square meter HiperWong, a 8,000-square meter Maestro Home Center as well as a casino, hotels, discotheques and more than 100 stores where people can find the most recognized brands in the market.
