Fiba Commercial Properties has added a new dimension to the gastronomy experience with Gourmet Garden by Fiba CP, launched at Star Mall China within its global portfolio. Bringing together 28 different food and beverage concepts, the project is designed not merely as a dining area, but as an experience-driven destination that combines gastronomy, art, and social interaction.
Strengthening its success in international real estate investments with innovative projects, Fiba Commercial Properties (Fiba CP) has developed Gourmet Garden at Star Mall China as a new gastronomic space that sets an example for the transformation of food and beverage areas in shopping malls.
With its global investment vision, Fiba CP has transformed a traditional food court into a unique social gathering space enriched with culture, art, and digital experiences. Spanning a total area of 2,875 square meters, Gourmet Garden brings together 28 carefully selected local and international food and beverage concepts under one roof. With a seating capacity of 500, the space offers visitors a high-quality and diverse culinary experience while fostering social interaction.
A Concept Bringing Together Gastronomy and Social Experience
Gourmet Garden stands out as a powerful project reflecting Fiba CP’s approach that goes beyond simply developing physical spaces. The project represents a concrete example of the high added value a foreign investor can bring to a local market. As the first gastronomic destination of this scale in the region, the project was designed with a unified concept approach, bringing selected brands together under one roof. Following the concept development phase, the leasing strategy was also handled with an integrated approach, resulting in a well-curated food and beverage mix that enhances the overall gastronomic experience.
At the center of the space, a impressive waterfall installation inspired by nature transforms the area into a calming oasis, while live performances, music events, and digital art experiences keep the venue vibrant and dynamic throughout the day.
This innovative approach serves as a strategic response to evolving consumer habits in the post-pandemic era. Addressing the growing demand for social and experience-oriented spaces, the project further strengthens Star Mall’s position as a lifestyle destination in Shenyang.
Fiba CP’s Vision: Innovation and Design Excellence
This flagship project once again demonstrates Fiba CP’s commitment to design excellence and innovation on the international stage. With its modern design integrated with digital solutions, Gourmet Garden enhances customer satisfaction through convenience and efficiency, while also contributing significantly to increased visitor dwell time and engagement within the shopping mall.
Fiba Commercial Properties CEO and Board Member Yurdaer Kahraman shared his views on the project: “Gourmet Garden is not just an investment for us; it is a reflection of our vision to create vibrant social spaces that bring people together. As Fiba CP, we are proud to bring our global expertise and innovative perspective to Shenyang. This project is a strong manifestation of our vision in innovation, design excellence, and experience-driven space development. Such projects are not only important for the cities they are located in, but also serve as a key reference for understanding the global transformation of shopping malls. Today, especially shopping centers in Western Europe need to adapt more rapidly to changing consumer expectations. Gastronomy, entertainment, digitalization, and experience-driven spaces have become core elements of the new generation of retail. With our experience in renovation, concept development, and strategic leasing across different geographies, we believe Gourmet Garden offers a strong model for how this transformation can be designed and implemented. We invite everyone to discover this unique garden where taste, art, and culture come together.”
Star Mall Group CEO Vedat Sağıroğlu emphasized the strategic importance of the project: “Gourmet Garden is a strategic response to the rapid transformation of consumer habits in China. Today, dining out has become an emotional form of consumption. With this project inspired by nature and art, we have created a high-quality, diverse, and comfortable social space for the people of Shenyang. We believe Gourmet Garden will enhance Star Mall’s attractiveness and become a long-term destination of choice for visitors.”
