Fashion Outlet Kraków – new standard on the Polish outlet centre market – already half lease
FASHION OUTLET KRAKÓW, A NEW OUTLET CENTRE BEING DEVELOPED IN THE DABIE DISTRICT OF KRAKÓW, WILL OFFER CLIENTS AN INNOVATIVE CONCEPT ON THE POLISH OUTLET CENTRE MARKET, COMBINING SHOPPING WITH AN EXTENSIVE ENTERTAINMENT AND SERVICE OFFERING.
Clients will have access to nearly 100 stores, coffee shops, restaurants, a bowling alley and a Cinema City IMAX movie theatre. Although the investment is expected to be completed in 2018, almost 50% of the centre’s space has already been leased.
The investment, which will eventually be comprised of 30,000 sqm of prime space, combines an optimal central location with an extensive range of fashion brands as well as services and entertainment functions, alongside a wide array of restaurants. The centre’s tenants will include attractive and well-known brands of the fashion, sport and premium categories. The food and entertainment part will include amongst others McDonald’s, Fitness Platinium, Pink Bowling, as well as a large creative kid’s play zone. Other tenants of the centre include Rossmann, and Media Expert and recently, Cinema City, the operator of an nine screen cinema with IMAX has signed a long term lease.
“Fashion Outlet Kraków is an entirely new concept on the Polish market and at the same time a new standard in the quality of retail space, combining the features of a modern gallery and an outlet centre. Our investment is designed so as to fully meet the increasing requirements of our brand partners, who are searching for an attractive, well-located and profitable retail location. We are glad that, having already leased half of the centre, tenants are appreciating our concept and want to be a part of this project”, said Thomas Reichenauer, managing director at PRÔM.
