shopping complex
Multi-store retail hub
A shopping complex is a large commercial development containing multiple retail stores, often with restaurants, entertainment venues, and shared parking.
The term emphasizes the interconnected nature of the buildings and facilities rather than a single enclosed structure.
The new shopping complex includes a cinema and food court.
Similar to shopping center or mall, though complex often suggests greater size or architectural variety.
