The mall, dubbed Zielone Arkady, represents the largest project of ECE Polska to date and will involve an investment of around €150 mln.

After its opening in the fall of 2015, the centre will provide 200 shops and restaurants on three levels over an overall leasable area of 51,000 m2 as well as 1,200 parking spaces.

ECE will take over the long-term operation and leasing of the centre.
