The leading developer of shopping complexes Arricano is resuming the work of the Sun Gallery shopping and entertainment complex (Kryvy Rih) from February 3, the company's press service told Interfax-Ukraine.

The opening of other areas of the shopping complex will take place in several stages; the timing of the resumption of work will be announced on the website of the Sun Gallery shopping center and its Facebook page.
