RE: The Blue Mall (Soualiga Post.com)
"OPENED IN THE BEGINNING OF 2016, THE PEROLA BAR IS LOCATED ON THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE BLUE MALL. A UNIQUE PLACE WHERE GOOD BEER AND ROCK N’ROLL GO HAND IN HAND The Blue Mall, this shopping mall located in Cupecoy and which was inaugurated in December 2013, is fuelling a few rumors on the social networks. Despite its choice location and its nine floors, the establishment doesn’t seem to draw any crowds. What will become of it? According to Eduardo De Haay, marketing manager, it’s going to be reorganized. All the shops, which are currently spread out on the first five floors, will be relocated to the ground floor. "We will keep the stores which are successful and will add those that the consumers want. We’re going to redesign the space", he explained. As for floors 2 to 5, they will host a large hotel chain in the near future whose name cannot be officially disclosed for the moment: "There will be a lot of rooms and we will need a lot of employees" he said while ensuring that this large-scale project will participate in the economic development of the island. The idea is to restore life to this giant by counting, among other things, on events. Publicity at the pub The FVI Group (Fondo de Valores Inmobiliarios), the owner of the shopping center, is one of the TOP 100 Venezuelan companies. They also own a Blue Mall in Santo Domingo, as well as several other malls in Venezuela. Royne Moreno was invited to open the Perola Bar at the beginning of 2016, whose slogan has an obvious meaning: «Good things happen to people who drink good beer». At the age of 43, this beer and rock lover who loves to give advice or tell stories first worked in an advertizing agency in Venezuela. "Since we were creative and we loved beer, we began to brew five years ago. In our country, there are only three industrial beers like Pils and we wanted to discover different flavors. It wasn’t a micro-brewery but rather a nano-brewery." he reminisced. Encouraged by their friends and clients at the agency who they asked to taste their production, they started selling it in hotels and restaurants."
This was found on a website for the Perola Bar.

I have heard various things about the property, to it was supposed to provide shopping for prosperous locals, to it was a tax write off for the owners, to it was somewhere to launder money. I have no idea what the truth is of any of that. Personally, I don't 'get' the concept at all and we have driven past there probably a hundred times and never once had the slightest desire to go in. The pictures that I've seen of some of the apartments there look lovely, IF you like that 'modern' look, which I don't, but that is my personal hang-up. In general, I don't 'get' the whole high rise in the Caribbean either, but many people love it.
