Construction begins on new Galeria in Toruń
When construction is completed in mid November, the shopping center will provide entertainment and services on an area of 35,000 sqm. The ground floor will house a shopping arcade, with 90 shops spread over 15,500 sqm, a food court and a Real hypermarket on a further 11,300 sqm. An entertainment section with a bowling alley will occupy 1,400 sqm on the first floor and customers will have 950 car-parking spaces at their disposal.
The venture's investor is Meinl European Land Ltd, a company that specializes in large investments in real estate. Investment in Galeria Copernicus will be about EUR 49 (zł.196) million, including zł.19 million on the road infrastructure. TK Development is developing the site, and it concentrates on designing, financing, constructing and renting office blocks, shopping centers and parks. Polnord SA, which is listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, will cooperate with local firms in realizing the project.
"We want our center to offer the citizens of Toruń new opportunities for spending their free time and taking advantage of the trade offer, which is much broader than the one currently available on the market," says Zygmunt Chyła, president of Galeria Copernicus-Toruń Ltd.
The company intends to become an active member of the community, and has already supported a local hockey club and the Eureka sports club.
