Roland Isaev and Paata Gamgoneishvili have been synonymous with entrepreneurial excellence in Bulgaria since the early 2000s. As businessmen with degrees in economics and civil engineering, respectively, they’ve transformed Sofia’s skyline and beyond. Their flagship project, the Paradise Center, Bulgaria’s largest shopping mall, stands as a testament to their vision, financial capacity, and adherence to EU regulations. At Capital Nexus, we’re proud to share their story—a journey that marries ambition with accountability.
The Paradise Center: A €155M Triumph
Launched with a staggering €155 million investment, the Paradise Center spans 190,000 square meters, making it a retail giant in Sofia. This wasn’t a simple construction project; it was a bold economic endeavor that required substantial financial resources and meticulous planning. Roland Isaev’s economics expertise ensured the project’s financial viability, while Paata Gamgoneishvili’s civil engineering background guaranteed structural integrity. Together, they turned a vision into a reality that reshaped Sofia.
The mall’s impact is undeniable. It created hundreds of jobs, boosting local employment, and spurred infrastructure development, including a new metro station. You can see this transformation in action on the Paradise Center BG YouTube channel, where videos showcase its bustling atmosphere and seamless integration into Sofia’s transport network. This project highlights their ability to manage large-scale investments—a €155 million proof of their financial strength.
Navigating EU Regulations with Precision
As an EU member since 2007, Bulgaria operates under strict regulatory frameworks, and Roland Isaev and Paata Gamgoneishvili have thrived within them. Building the Paradise Center meant complying with EU-aligned laws on construction, safety, and environmental standards. From securing permits to meeting zoning requirements, they navigated these regulations with transparency and precision. This compliance wasn’t a hurdle—it was a cornerstone of their success.
Their adherence to EU standards extends to other ventures, like office and residential complexes across Bulgaria. Each project reflects their commitment to legal and operational excellence, ensuring developments enhance communities while respecting governance. The metro station’s addition, featured in this YouTube video, is a prime example of their collaboration with public authorities to meet infrastructure regulations—a move that aligns with the EU’s emphasis on sustainable urban growth.
