A retail tradition

Quinlan Private Golub will rebuild and restore the historical buildings of Hala Koszyki located on ul. Koszykowa in Warsaw. The new complex will consist of approximately 10,000 sqm of modern retail space as well as approximately 1,000 sqm of office space. In addition, the developer will also construct 154 apartments in total. The restoration works will begin this year. The value of the investment amounts to some EUR 35 (zł.136.3) million.

"We chose this project because it is a real chance for a developer to give something back to the community. By reinstating Koszyki as a retail center, not only does it provide a huge benefit for the community, but it's the best way to preserve this historic landmark," says Graham Kilbane, managing director of Quinlan Private Golub in Poland.

The new design of Koszyki was prepared by Broadway Malyan architects. Koszyki's art nouveau architecture will be restored and revitalized. The main hall and the architectural details of the elevations of the new buildings are being developed in agreement with the Conservation Office.

"The future Koszyki will hearken back to the glory of its retail tradition, dating from the turn of the 20th century and provide a greatly improved retail experience. Parking is to be built in the basement of the project and the historic hall will contain two levels of retail space," says Magdalena Cieliczko, marketing manager at Quinlan Private Golub.

The development will also include three new residential apartment buildings.
