TOM Investment Group plans for Dabie shaping up

After British Chelverton's withdrawal from the project to develop the land around the former airport in Szczecin Dabie, Warsaw TOM Investment Group intends to turn the real estate into a tourist-recreational complex. The company is now seeking investors, and claims it has attracted exciting offers, but refused to reveal details. According to Krzysztof Jacunski, the head of the company and a former Chelverton employee, three investors have come forward with around $170 million. Among the possible partners are two Canadian companies, and IKEA, the latter wants to build a new store on the site. "The complex will attract not only residents from Szczecin, but also Berliners and those living within 100 kilometers from the old airport," said Jacunski. The new 140,000 square meter complex will create around 5,900 jobs. (Puls Biznesu, p. 13) J.K.
