Palermo: the dates for the Conca d’Oro’s reopening have been set

There are now precise dates for the reopening of Palermo’s Centro Conca d’Oro, hit by a serious fire on 1° September, probably caused by an electrical fault.

White zone starting from 16 October and yellow zone from 31 October

As reported by the local newspapers and the Dire news agency, the stages set out in a letter by the judicial commissioners—appointed over the owner companies, Compal and Malu— the approximately 60 tenants located in the white zone, the zero-risk area, can reopen on 16 October.

This is also confirmed by the website of the Sicilian retail complex.

On 31 October, however, the traders in the yellow area, classified at the time as moderate risk, will resume operations; they can begin the preliminary work by gaining access to the premises from 10 October.

A little more time is still needed in the red zone

The go-ahead for the red zone, the area that suffered severe damage, is still missing from the schedule. Here, the commissioners warn, a few more days are still needed. The timetable should therefore be forthcoming relatively soon.

In summary, apart from the two outlets that have announced their permanent closure, just under 100 retail outlets should return to service, spread over a GLA of 55.000 sq m, including the flagship store, branded Spazio Conad.
