A new and improved centre
The opening of the new Lagunen and first construction phase undoubtedly marks the start of an exciting future.
The expansion consists of close to 50,000 new square metres and more than 50 new shops, featuring both international and national brands as well as new concepts – some of which are opening their first store in Western Norway.
On completion, the centre will boast over 180 different retail concepts, consisting of inviting eateries, fabulous supermarkets, exciting niche shops and fantastic retail chain stores.
The centre will not only have a completely new parking area, but also plenty of indoor parking. The expansion also means that the Lagunen centre will be integrated with the bus and light rail terminal in order to offer public transport users the best experience possible.
Largest fashion house in the region by far
With over 50 fashion shops, the Lagunen is the region's absolute largest fashion house. The primary markets for the Lagunen are the Fana and Ytrebygda districts of the municipality of Bergen, with a population of around 60,000 within a ten-minute drive. These are among the fastest growing areas of Bergen.
Further development of Lagunen
The development of the Lagunen includes densification and an urban structure with blocks, pedestrian zones and common areas, living facades and underground parking. A SATS fitness centre and cinema complex with nine theatres will open in the autumn of 2019. The centre is also being integrated with the bus and light rail terminal and residences are being built in the neighbourhood surrounding the Lagunen.
