Giant Shopping Novo Batel, with 42,000 m² and 26 stores, theaters Fernanda Montenegro, Paulo Autran, and João Luiz Fiani, as well as Cineplex Batel, will be auctioned by court order; first bid exceeds R$ 536 million on February 10, with the second on the 24th, and unfinished Hotel White Plaza as well.
The giant Shopping Novo Batel, one of the first shopping centers in Curitiba, Paraná, will be auctioned in a court auction on February 10, 2026. Located on Cel. Dulcídio Street, in the Batel neighborhood, the complex will have an initial bid exceeding R$ 536 million and, if there is no buyer, a second auction is already scheduled for February 24, with an initial bid of R$ 321 million.
The giant shopping package includes a built area of 42,000 m², featuring 26 stores, the theaters Fernanda Montenegro, Paulo Autran, and João Luiz Fiani, as well as cinema rooms (Cineplex Batel). The package also includes the Hotel White Plaza, with 14,000 m², 243 rooms, and leisure and service infrastructure, but it has never been inaugurated.

The government is considering a temporary subsidy for cooking gas following the spike in oil prices due to the war in Iran and warns about the impact of 20% of imports on the prices paid by families.
If no bids are made, the schedule already foresees a second auction on February 24, with a starting bid of R$ 321 million, lowering the entry price to try to unlock the sale.
The process involves a large asset in a valued area, which raises the stakes of the outcome for the immediate future of the complex: either a buyer emerges in the first auction, or the competition moves to the second date with a new price reference.
What Comprises Shopping Novo Batel within the Package
The giant shopping listed in the auction totals 42,000 square meters of built area.
The structure includes 26 stores and a cultural complex with three theaters: Fernanda Montenegro, Paulo Autran, and João Luiz Fiani.
Additionally, the project includes cinema rooms identified as Cineplex Batel, reinforcing the mixed-use profile of the space, with commerce and entertainment at the same address.
Hotel White Plaza, 14,000 m² and 243 Rooms, but Uninaugurated
One of the central points of the giant shopping package is the Hotel White Plaza, described with 14,000 m² and 243 rooms.
The list of associated structures includes swimming pool, gym, dry sauna, steam sauna, bar, and restaurant.
Despite its size and infrastructure, the hotel is considered unfinished and, according to case information, has never been inaugurated, which adds a component of halted construction to the asset put up for dispute.
Why the Shopping is Being Auctioned and Who Appears in the Process
The auction of the giant shopping arises from a court determination related to the payment of a debt regarding rent.
On one side is L C Branco Empreendimentos Imobiliários Ltda, identified as the owner of the land and buildings, and on the other is OLS Participações, Administração e Investimentos LTDA.
The judicial sale measure thus comes as a response to a long-standing conflict involving rental amounts, directly impacting the future of one of the most well-known enterprises in the capital of Paraná.
The Position of L C Branco and the Impasse of More than 20 Years
In a statement, L C Branco asserts that there is no justification for the auction, arguing that the court process has been ongoing for over 20 years and that the amount owed still depends on the judgment of another action in progress.
The company also states that alternative guarantees consistent with the value of the case are being presented and emphasizes that the amount claimed by the claimant would be less than 2% of the company’s assets, posing no risk to financial solidity.
Do you think a giant shopping center with an unfinished hotel can attract a buyer in the first auction, or will the real outcome be left for the second bid in February?
