The Damodar Group will invest $80 million in a major new commercial development in Nadi.
Group Chief Executive Div Damodar says the investment will be carried out next year, with construction expected to begin by mid-2027.
Damodar says the project, known as Damodar City Nadi, will feature retail outlets, entertainment facilities, hospitality services, personal services and community spaces within a modern lifestyle and commercial hub.
He confirms the multi-million-dollar development will be built along the Denarau Bypass Road.
Finance Minister Esrom Immanuel says the investment reflects strong private sector confidence in Fiji’s economy and highlights the country’s attractiveness for long-term investment.
He says the development will create more than 600 jobs across construction, retail, hospitality, technology, logistics, facility management and professional services.
“An investment of $80 million is far more than just steel, concrete and modern architecture. It is a resounding vote of confidence in the Fiji economy. Damodar City Nadi is more than a shopping and commercial destination, it is a modern economic hub.”
Immanuel says the project will strengthen Nadi’s position as a key economic centre, support local businesses and entrepreneurs, and generate wider economic benefits for communities in the Western Division.
