A first for Włocławek

Developer Budizol will soon deliver 20,400 sqm of leasable area in the city of Włocławek's first mixed-use development, called Wzorcownia. Located in the city's downtown, it will feature  retail and service outlets, an entertainment center as well as two apartment buildings. Construction is already underway and it is scheduled for completion next year.

The Wzorcownia complex is being developed on the revitalized site of a defunct 19th-century pottery factory. It will comprise one building hosting a retail center and one with an entertainment center and two apartment buildings with small shops and service outlets on the ground floors.

The architectural project was prepared by the Poznań-based CDF Architekci firm. The main characteristic of the design is an attempt to retain the old architectural elements of the site. The entertainment center will be located in a refurbished 19th-century building which served as a pottery workshop. The kilns used in the production of pottery were preserved and are meant to provide an historic atmosphere.

Wzorcownia will be located next to CH City shopping center, which was also developed by Budizol. But unlike CH City, which features a supermarket and large-space retail outlets, Wzorcownia will host fashion stores and service outlets as well as an entertainment center and restaurants. 

"Wzorcownia will become the most important site on Włocławek's shopping map. This is another phase of the creation of the city's new image that our company is participating in," said Elwira Stanisławska, a Budizol representative.

The commercialization of Wzorcownia was commissioned to King Sturge consultancy.
