Poznań gets a new Factory

Neinver, which opened its second Factory outlet in Poland on October 3 in Wrocław, has laid the cornerstone for another outlet, the first in the Wielkopolska region.

The outlet is located on ul. Debiecka in Luboń near Poznań. The first stage of the investment is scheduled to open by the end of 2007 and will provide over 9,700 sqm of modern retail space, with 80 outlets of well-known international and Polish brands. The value of the investment is estimated at EUR 23 (zł.89) million.

"While making the decision about investing in Poznań, we noticed the potential of the market and demand among the citizens and tenants," says Barbara Topolska, general director of Neinver Polska.

"Factory Poznań will be the first shopping center of its type in Wielkopolska. We hope that the philosophy of doing cheaper, branded shopping will soon gain new fans among the local population. Outlet centers are also a perfect distribution channel for surpluses generated by the stores, so both our clients and tenants can benefit from this shopping formula," Topolska added.

The design has been prepared by Poznań-based Pentagram Architekci, and its basic concept was to create a center with a modern design that guarantees the comfort of clients.

The interior of the building will be filled with light due to the glass ceilings. In addition, special relaxation zones with comfortable sofas and chairs will be created at the crossing of the center's lanes.

The project will also provide a parking lot for about 1,000 cars.
