City Mall was a shopping mall located in Eroii Revolutiei square, Bucharest, Romania. Opened in 2005, the construction was based on an incomplete hunger circus abandoned after the fall of the Communist system.[2]

The mall became insolvent in 2012, and was bought by real estate investor Ioannis Papalekas. In March 2013, Papalekas announced plans to convert the mall into an office building.[3]
