“DraculaLand unifies everything we have learned in real estate: discipline, rigor, vision, and the ability to bring together complex teams with very different specializations. But more importantly, it adds a story that gives meaning to every square meter built. For me, DraculaLand is a nation-building project – a symbol that Romania can and must create landmarks, not just buildings or simple real estate developments.”
– Dragoș Dobrescu, founder of DraculaLand
Designed and developed by global leaders
DraculaLand has been developed, in its concept and masterplan phases, together with an international team of experts in architecture, engineering, finance, and innovation.
“Dracula Outlet Mall was designed as a social catalyst, active throughout the entire day – a place not only for shopping, but for living, meeting, and sharing experiences. From the very beginning, it was clear that DraculaLand is not just a real estate project but a cultural statement: a place where architecture, technology, creativity, and lifestyle intersect in a manner rarely seen in Europe.”
– Gino Garbellini, founding partner, Piuarch Milano
“DraculaLand will be one of the very few projects in Romania built with a clear strategy, with discipline, and with rigorous execution from the earliest discussions to operation. It will unite retail, entertainment, hospitality, cultural infrastructure, and technology in a way we rarely encounter in Europe. For brands and investors, it will mean stability, predictability, and a professional framework in which they can develop their business long-term.”
– Andreea Mihai, senior executive leader in retail, real estate, marketing, and e-commerce, with over two decades of experience in groups such as Carrefour, Hagag, Leroy Merlin, and NIRO
DraculaLand Metaverse – where reality meets technology, in the first phygital project of this magnitude in the world
In parallel with the physical development, DraculaLand has been conceived with its own metaverse built in Unreal Engine 5, a digital twin of the destination that will allow millions of users to explore, play, and interact with the DraculaLand universe from anywhere in the world.
The metaverse will integrate:
- DraculaCoin – the ecosystem’s native token, usable both in the digital world and in the physical world;
• NFT-based systems for digital ownership, rewards, and exclusive experiences;
• AI-based personalization, enabling each user to have a unique narrative path and avatar;
• Real-time connection with physical park events – concerts, competitions, festivals, and special experiences reflected in real time in the digital universe.
Economic and social impact
According to current financial estimates, DraculaLand will generate:
- over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs in tourism, technology, and services;
• a total economic impact estimated at approximately EUR 5 billion over the next decade;
• around 3 million visitors annually in the first phase.
A new cultural and digital icon for Europe
By merging architecture, culture, and cutting-edge technology, DraculaLand will transform one of Romania’s most recognized symbols into a modern legend, built with respect, creativity, and high international standards.
“DraculaLand finally transforms this global recognition into a structured, high-quality attraction that will present Romania’s heritage with dignity and creativity. We are not talking only about a theme park, but about a cultural asset that will strengthen Romania’s position on the world tourism map and function as a long-term economic engine.”
– Vlad Marinescu, former President of the International Esports Federation
DraculaLand is conceived as an iconic, technology-driven destination, born from a timeless story and transformed into a global landmark for entertainment and innovation.
