More mall for Łódź
ECE Projektmanagement plans to expand Galeria Łódzka, a shopping mall located nearby ul. Piotrkowska. Work on the extension will be carried out by Strabag, the company responsible for the complex's construction. Thanks to the renovation, the retail area of the shopping center will be expanded by more than 5,000 sqm, on which two stores are to open - Peek&Cloppenburg and H&M. To make the extension possible, the current courtyard inside the mall will be developed. Thanks to this, two new levels of retail area will be created.
Work will begin this year and should take about 12 months. The opening of the new section is planned for spring 2008.
"Thanks to this expansion, our gallery will become more attractive and new brands will help us to gain new shoppers," said Ryszard Wysokiński, director of Galeria Łódzka. "We will cooperate with an experienced contractor, and therefore I am convinced that the project will be completed on time and that the construction won't disturb our customers."
Galeria Łódzka was opened in 2002. The three-storey complex of approximately 40,000 sqm has more than 160 stores and restaurants. In 2004, the project was named best European mall by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
Besides the Łódź mall, ECE Polska also manages Wrocław's Galeria Dominikańska, Kraków's Galeria Krakowska as well as Centrum Alfa in Gdańsk. Another major project of the company, Galeria Bałtycka, is currently being constructed in Gdańsk.
