Designer Outlet Warszawa wins Best Expansion Project 2022 award

Designer Outlet Warszawa was awarded Best Expansion Project CEE 2022 during the 14th annual EuropaProperty.com CEE Retail Real Estate Gala.

Warsaw, 28th January - Designer Outlet Warszawa, owned by the DWS Group and managed by ROS Retail Outlet Shopping, has received an awarding statuette in the category of Expansion Project of the Year during this year’s CEE Retail Real Estate Gala held on 27th January.

The CEE Retail Awards & Marketplace is the region’s premier awards show and experience celebrating the retail industry. Widely recognised as the market benchmark for retail success in Central and Eastern Europe, EuropaProperty has distinguished and rewarded the best and most successful retail facilities in the region for fourteen years.

For this year's 14th edition, Designer Outlet Warszawa competed for the main award for Best Expansion Project. Following its expansion last year and despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, Designer Outlet Warszawa contributed more than 5.5 thousand square metres of GLA and successfully commercialised the resulting retail space, introducing new premium brands to the Polish market.

A jury of up to 60 international industry experts took into account the scale of the investment, the commercialization process, the architecture of the newly created retail part and the new services introduced for customers, including a multi-storey covered car park and a modernised food court.

Thomas Reichenauer, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ROS Retail Outlet Shopping collected the award on behalf of Designer Outlet Warszawa during the 14th Gala in Warsaw.

"The award received is particularly important to us, as it was awarded for the effort put into the development of the outlet centre during the difficult period of lockdowns, which was a great test for all of us. I am especially proud that the expansion of Designer Outlet Warszawa was completed on time, despite the ongoing pandemic, and that our existing and new partners placed their trust on us, often opening stores in a new Polish market. The cooperation proved fruitful and now we can boast the largest outlet centre with premium fashion in Poland, which is an attractive shopping destination for the inhabitants of the region, said Thomas Reichenauer.
