Neinver outlet

The Wrocław center of 13,000 sqm will eventually host 110 stores and will be worth EUR 20 (zł.78.8) million. The first stage of the development, with an area of 10,000 sqm, is scheduled for completion in August this year. The Ursus expansion will make space for 34 additional stores and should open on May 10. The value of that project amounts to EUR 8 (zł.31.5) million.

Barbara Topalska, general director at Neinver Poland, says that while introducing the concept of outlet centers to the Polish market, the company managed to create an attractive brand mix and provide customers with a wide range of goods. Tenants have been won over by the formula. "We are observing a growing interest in this sales concept. The Factory center enlargement is a response to the market's demands. Companies are looking for new ways of liquidating their stock surpluses. The success of the first outlet center made us think of further development [in Wrocław]," adds Topalska.

After the expansion, Factory in Ursus will host 82 stores within 13,000 sqm. Jones Lang LaSalle, the company responsible for leasing the space, has already signed contracts with firms such as 4YOU, Mustang, Converse, Cat and Merrell. The Wrocław outlet center, also managed by JLLS, has already found tenants for around 65 percent of its space.
