The Kiev Central Department Store was officially closed on February 2012 for reconstruction work. The official reason for its closure is the expiration of the deadlines for contracts with the tenant, the correspondents of the information portal on construction report. Immediately before closing at Tsum, there was an unprecedented sales. The percentage of discounts reached 50. The resource correspondents managed to find out that the construction group of Esta, which belongs to one of the companies of Rinat Akhmetov, is engaged in reconstruction work.

As for the aesthetic type of building, it will have a more attractive and modern style. In particular, we are talking about completely abandoning the use of unstable facing tiles on the facade of the building, which is currently actively falling. After all the stages of reconstruction work, a completely new Tsum will appear in the style of Ar-Deco. This direction in architecture is a synthesis of modern and neoclassicism. The main highlight of this style will be a combination of strict pattern and certain ethnic patterns. The primary role in this style will play chic and luxury.
