About us

Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre opened doors in the year 1998, being the first and biggest such shopping mall in Estonia. In the year 2005, Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre was acquired by Citycon Oyj – real estate development company that specialises on the development and maintenance of shopping centres.

The advancements initiated by Citycon Oyj were launched on 1 October 2008 with the opening of the first renovated section of Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre. In May 2009, a new fashion section was opened in the left wing of the centre, featuring a broad range of international and domestic brands. The fully renovated Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre will welcome its visitors starting from the autumn of 2009. There are over 170 tenants on more than 54,000 square metres of business space in the centre. The most recently opened section features several brand shops, a shop of the highly regarded I.L.U trademark and the Rocca al Mare beauty salon.

A wide and versatile restaurant area offers a broad range of different cuisines. Several hundred brands are represented in the centre, and many of those brands have their only Estonian representative outlets in Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre. The centre’s colour and theme coordinated positioning of shops, which is unique in Estonia, makes it easy to find products and services.

All visitors can use a free-of-charge wardrobe, and more than 1,300 parking spaces are available to those who come by car.

Rocca al Mare’s Great Friends - the Elephants

 The elephants living in the Tallinn Zoo were born in the Kruger National Park located in the Republic of South Africa in years 1982-1983. The baby elephants were named Carl, Fien (meaning “beauty” in Dutch) and Draay (meaning “the stubborn one” in Dutch). Soon after their birth the youngsters were taken to the Netherlands from where they were transported first to Brest and then to the Tallinn Zoo in the summer of 1985. Back then the elephants were only 1.5 meters high and found their initial home in the reconstructed house built specially for the warm-loving cloven hoofed animals. In 1989, they moved to the new elephant house where they still live today and bring joy to all visitors of the zoo.

Our elephants have grown substantially throughout the years, their current shoulder height and weight being the following: Fien- 2.8 m and 4,950 kg; Draay- 2.7 m and 4,850 kg and Carl- 3.3 m and over 6,000 kg.
The heavy weight requires a well-balanced diet. For instance, one elephant eats as much as 200 kilograms of green crop, 60 kilograms of hay and 1.5 kilograms of bananas for dessert each day. This is however only a small part of the elephants’ menu, as they also like to treat themselves to different fruits and vegetables.

Being a neighbour to the zoo, the Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre acts as a caring sponsor to the elephants and provides for their high demand for food and general well-being.

Rocca al Mare is Green

The Rocca al Mare Shopping Centre is the first major commercial facility in Estonia that prioritises the use of renewable energy and green thinking.

Therefore, the shopping centre became a Green Energy (offered by Eesti Energia) customer in 2009. The Green Energy label proves that all the power used by the shopping centre is produced from renewable resources.

On 9 February 2010, the Rocca al Mare shopping centre was officially presented with the international LEED Green Building certificate. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is a recognised international rating system which rewards efforts in six major areas: sustainable sites; water efficiency; energy and atmosphere; materials and resources; indoor environmental quality, and innovation and design process.
