A good April for Mayland

Although construction work was launched back in January, Mayland Real Estate has now officially started building its Jantar shopping center in Słupsk. The new venue is scheduled to open in 2008 and its value is estimated at zł.120 million.

"The Jantar Center will be completed as the first of the currently planned shopping centers in Słupsk. We have signed a lease agreement with H&M and we are the only complex in the city to host an H&M store. We have also attracted Gymnasion fitness club and now we are thinking about complementing this part of our offer with a spa," says Maciej Kiełbicki, general director at Mayland Real Estate.

So far over 50 percent of space in the mall has been leased. Other larger tenants include RTV Euro AGD, Smyk and Empik.

The whole project, whose total space will amount to 45,000 sqm, is being developed on a seven-ha plot and will include a shopping center with eleven large stores, 50 boutiques and service points, a fitness club and a 650-car parking lot.

"The development of the center will be completed in stages. Now we are building some 35,000 sqm and ultimately it will have 50,000 sqm of commercial space," says Kiełbicki.

Apart from Jantar, Mayland Real Estate is currently developing three other shopping centers throughout Poland, including Karolinka in Opole and Idylla in Wrocław. The cornerstone of the third project, Pogoria, will be laid on April 24 in Dàbrowa Górnicza.
