Galeria Libero unleashed
Construction“We are launching the construction process but we are still working on the details of the project. (...) We decided to introduce a significantly broader range of catering, entertainment and sports goods tenants compared to our rivals. Libero will not just feature popular chain tenants, but also local, proven and trusted concepts,” claims Marcin Materny, the director of Echo Investment’s shopping centre department.
The leasing process is already in progress. Contracts have been signed with Alma Market, which is to open a deli-supermarket with an area of nearly 1,900 sqm. Media Markt will open an outlet with a completely new interior design. Echo Investment, the developer of Galeria Libero, is planning to create the largest entertainment and sports offer in the region, having already signed contracts for the opening of an eight-screen Helios multiplex and Fabryka Formy fitness club. Libero will also include the ‘Food & Ball’ sports pub – a new concept from Polish footballer Arkadiusz Milik, who plays for the national team and Ajax Amsterdam. Tenants also include the Apteka Europejska chain of pharmacies as well as a Lancerto men’s fashion store. Advanced negotiations concerning sports-, education- and entertainment-related concepts are in progress.
Galeria Libero is to be developed on a 5.4 ha plot on ul. Tadeusza Kościuszki – one of the main traffic routes in Katowice. It will comprise a retail and entertainment area of 42,000 sqm on three floors. It will also offer a pool hall, a children’s play area, squash and badminton courts and restaurants with terraces.
