The company has announced the opening of a new food-anchored retail park in the Polish city of Świebodzin.
Developed in partnership with Karuzela Holding, this is the tenth project undertaken by Mitiska REIM and Karuzela over the past five years, with five more developments planned to open over the next two years.
Comprising 19 units with a gross leasable area (GLA) of 11,450sq m and parking for 330 cars, the new Karuzela Świebodzin development has become the dominant retail scheme in the city. Designed to achieve a “Very Good” score on the BREEAM scale, the retail park is food-anchored by a Lidl supermarket and brings new brands to the city such as Sinsay, Cropp, House, CCC, Jysk, SMYK and Tedi. Other tenants include Pepco, Kik, Media Expert and Martes Sport.
Another retail anchor is an owner-occupied Bricomarche DIY store with a GLA of 2,300sq m which joins a pre-existing McDonald’s restaurant on-site. Plans are in place to open a 1,200sq m Bodzio Meble furniture store in the coming months, bringing the total GLA of the retail destination to 14,900sq m.
Magdalena Bednarczyk, Investment Associate in Mitiska REIM’s Polish team said: “This development brings new retail brands to the city of Świebodzin and is part of our strategy to bring necessity retail to cities across Poland in a way which is modern, sustainable and conveniently located for shoppers. The retail park proposition of convenience, essential shopping and value for money continues to be very attractive in Poland for retailers and shoppers alike.”
