Two-part shopping destination (East and Split locations) featuring international brands, a hypermarket, cinema complex, and diverse food court. The Split location on the waterfront is architecturally striking and convenient for airport arrivals.
City Center One East is a major shopping center located in Zagreb's Dubrava district in the eastern part of the city, serving the densely populated residential neighborhoods of Dubrava, Sesvete, and Peščenica. Part of the City Center One chain that also operates locations in Split and western Zagreb, the East location provides large-format retail access to areas of the city that previously had limited options of this scale. The mall spans multiple levels and houses a broad selection of international and Croatian retailers across fashion, electronics, home goods, and services. Fashion anchors include standard mid-market international brands found across Zagreb's malls—H&M, Zara group labels, Reserved—alongside Croatian fashion and lifestyle retailers. A hypermarket occupies significant ground-floor space, making City Center One East a practical one-stop destination for residents combining grocery shopping with other retail; this supermarket section also stocks Croatian food products (local wines, cheeses, and cured meats) at prices generally lower than tourist-area specialty shops. A cinema complex provides multi-screen entertainment with current programming. A varied food court with seating serves international fast-food chains, pizza and pasta outlets, and regional Croatian quick-service options, supplemented by coffee bars distributed throughout the mall. The card-payment infrastructure is comprehensive across most stores, with ATMs positioned near main entrances. Public transport access is via bus routes serving the Dubrava and Sesvete corridors; the mall also has a substantial car park. The center caters primarily to local residents rather than tourists, which means it tends to be quieter than Zagreb's more centrally located malls and offers a more everyday Croatian retail experience.
