Supersam, a mixed-use destination in Katowice which includes a shopping centre and office buildings, is undergoing a transformation.
It will soon feature more office space as well as a new restaurant section. The Konior Studio led by Silesian architect Tomasz Konior is responsible for the redevelopment project. The work should be completed in Q4 2022.
Supersam is a modern multifunctional centre combining retail and services with office space. It is situated in the heart of the Silesian conurbation, in the very centre of Katowice, in the traditionally commercial part of the city, near the market square. Supersam comprises almost 23,000sq m of leasable space. It offers a wide range of shops, services and F&B outlets on each retail level. The complex boasts a BREEAM certificate at the ‘Excellent’ level and is 100 per cent powered by green energy.
Work on the transformation of Supersam is now underway. Most of the changes are to take place on the first floor, where modern office space will be added that offers the largest working area – with the highest ceilings – on a single floor in Katowice.
“With these changes to Supersam, we are responding to the latest consumer requirements and market trends. When it comes to retail, our focus is on the specialisation of everyday purchases, while in addition to this we are expanding the office section and thus strengthening the multifunctional nature of our centre. One important feature of the changes to Supersam will also be the new, larger restaurant zone, which will function as an interesting alternative to typical food courts. We have decided that we do not want to compete with large shopping malls in this regard. We have opted for a different strategy for the development of Supersam, which in our opinion is better suited to the post-pandemic reality. As the owner of such iconic buildings as Hala Koszyki in Warsaw and Renoma in Wrocław, we have extensive experience of this type of multifunctional project, which we will also be putting to use with Supersam,” comments Barbara Wójcik, Senior Asset Manager at Globalworth Poland.
