The Commercial Court in Split has announced the sale of the assets of the company MEGALIT, which went into bankruptcy in May of this year. The shopping center Marisa with courtyards located at K. A. Stepinca 112 in Trogir is being sold at an electronic auction by FINA. This is a complex with a total area of 4,883 m² (business building 3,650 m² and courtyards 1,254 m² and 21 m²), with an established value of 19.9 million euros excluding VAT. The starting price at the first auction is 14.925 million euros, and the sale is conducted on a ‘seen-bought’ basis.

The bidding is scheduled from January 14 to January 28, 2026, and bidders can participate by paying a deposit of 10 percent of the estimated value, which amounts to 1.99 million euros, no later than January 5, 2026.

Non-existent Parking Spaces

Marisa is the first shopping center in Trogir, and at its opening in 2017, it was stated that it was an investment of 15 million euros. Due to overbuilding and a lack of 112 parking spaces, some Trogir city councilors declared it a ‘tragedy of urbanism, planning, and construction.’ Namely, when issuing the building permit, the city of Trogir undertook the obligation to allow the investor to ‘paper’ access to the mentioned spaces based on the Decision on the payment of compensation for the missing parking space, which was made back in 2008. However, since the Decision was never implemented, Marisa delayed obtaining the occupancy permit and opening. The problem of the lack of parking spaces was ultimately resolved in 2016 when Marisa paid the city a fee for the ‘missing parking space’ amounting to 3.3 million kuna.

The shopping center complex consists of six floors (two garage levels, ground floor, and three above-ground floors) housing around 30 business premises. Among the anchor tenants, Plodine stands out, while various fashion, technical, and service stores operate in the center. According to previously published data in the bankruptcy proceedings, the occupancy of the shopping center was 76 percent, and the average rental price was 11.28 eur/m². However, the company Megalit found itself in financial trouble as several tenants left the premises, leaving unpaid obligations, while one of the significant tenants had not settled its obligations for an extended period. These uncollected receivables significantly disrupted the company’s liquidity.

According to Fina Info.Biz, the company generated revenues of 1.6 million euros last year and a net profit of just under two hundred thousand euros. However, the year before, with the same revenue, it had a loss of 1.3 million euros. The total recognized claims of the first and second higher payment order in the bankruptcy proceedings amount to 10.6 million euros.
