Galeria Młociny is a mixed use project with a combined leasable area of 82 000m² of which 71 000m² is earmarked for retail, entertainment and gastronomy. It will include a modern cinema, a fitness club, an extensive food court and a medical centre. Already 55% pre-leaed tenants will include key fashion brands such as the Inditex group’s Zara, Zara Home, Bershka, Pull & Bear, Stradivarius as well as C & A, Van Graaf, H&M and shoe retailer CCC. Additional tenants include RTV Euro AGD, Jysk, Intermarche and Go Sport.
