Full house for Bałtycka
Nearly six weeks before its opening this October, 100 percent of retail space in Galeria Bałtycka has been leased. The shopping center, located in Gdańsk's Wrzeszcz district, will offer close to 40,000 sqm of retail space for tenants such as Zara, Peek&Cloppenburg, Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Trussardi, Pepe Jeans and Timberland, in addition to a fitness center and a number of cafes and restaurants. The project is valued at a total of some R140 (zł.532) million
"I am certain that Galeria Bałtycka will figure perfectly into the Tri-city landscape," says Marcin Łukasiewicz, the center's director. "It will become an important point on the map for shopping and cultural activities in the region, contributing to economic development," he adds.
Construction on Galeria Bałtycka is currently in its final phases, including roadwork facilitating access to the center from the intersection of ul. Grunwaldzka, ul. Kociuszki, ul. Słowackiego and ul. Dmowskiego, scheduled for completion in mid-September. The center itself is scheduled to open at 8 am on October 4th 2007.
Galeria Bałtycka is a project based on a joint venture from ECE Projekmanagement and Deutsche Euroshop AG. ECE Projectmanagement currently manages 90 shopping centers across Europe, including four in Poland. Deutsche Euroshop holds investments in 16 European shopping centers with a total market value of some R2.6 (zł.10) billion.
