Molumba wins architectural competition for Lidl store in Narva
OU MMS Property Solutions,
Estonian representative of Lidl, on Feb. 21 bought a plot at 7 Tallinn Road in
Narva and turned to the Narva city government to receive the necessary design
criteria. The current 16-year old detailed plan allows for the construction of
a two to four-storey commercial building and the city government demanded that
the owner organize an architectural competition.
Narva city architect Ivan Sergejev
said that this is the preliminary vision of the store and added that the
winners are to continue work on the project. Altogether 10 entries were
submitted.
The property was owned by Lidl Eesti
OU already in 2004-2006, when the German supermarket chain planned to start
operating in Estonia. But nothing came of those plans then and the property was
sold to Tallinna Kaubamaja Grupp, but
the group did not launch construction there either.
MMS Property Solutions belongs to the Lidl group and the direct owner company of the company
founded last October is the German CE Beteiligungs
GmbH. Lidl planned to expand to Estonia 10 years ago through the same company.
MMS Property Solutions this year also both properties in Tartu and Tallinn. Lauri Sipponen, head of Lidl in Finland, told the Finnish
newspaper Kauppalehti in September that the retail chain is planning to open
stores in Estonia and Latvia in 2020.
