CBRE to lease Galeria Victoria in Poland

Keen Property Partners, the developer of the Galeria Victoria shopping centre in Walbrzych, has appointed CB Richard Ellis as the sole leasing agent responsible for renting the Polish mall. Galeria Victoria will be the first modern retail, entertainment, residential and hotel complex in the city and the surrounding region, bringing the first multiplex cinema, restaurants and cafés and many Polish and international retail brands to the city for the first time. The project represents an investment of EUR 75mln, with the hotel and residential elements involving a further investment of EUR 20mln.

'We are very excited about our new unique and beautiful retail project in Walbrzych, designed by award-winning architects Chapman Taylor. We have taken exceptional care in the planning process to make sure that Galeria Victoria will be a great success,' said Richard Keen, managing director of Keen Property Partners.

Michal Masztachowski, associate director at CBRE, said: 'Galeria Victoria is a unique shopping mall in terms of design, location and gross area. It has been designed to revitalise a hitherto neglected part of the city, creating a new public space and focal point for the community, with additional functions such as open-air concerts in the amphitheatre in summer, or the ice-skating rink planned for the winter months.'

Galeria Victoria will be developed by Keen Property Partners, a specialised real estate service provider currently focusing on high-end residential and regional retail developments.
