NDI Development has launched the commercialisation of the historic section of the former sugar factory in Pruszcz Gdański, as part of a wider regeneration project. Savills has been appointed as the exclusive leasing agent.
The scheme involves the redevelopment of the historic part of the Cukrownia complex, providing approximately 14,500 sqm of space for retail, services and offices, including around 3,800 sqm of office space. The project forms part of a broader trend of repurposing post-industrial sites into mixed-use developments.
The regeneration includes the preservation of 29 historic buildings, carried out in cooperation with conservation authorities. The existing industrial structures, including the site’s chimney, are being retained as part of the redevelopment.
“The revitalisation of the Sugar Factory is not just an investment project. It is a way of reintegrating this place into the life of the city. With great care for the historic buildings, we are preserving and adapting the existing structures, opening up this space to residents,” said Krzysztof Granatowicz, Creative Director at NDI Development.
“Our aim is to give the historic part of the Sugar Factory new urban functions whilst preserving its industrial character. We are preserving 29 historic buildings, including the distinctive chimney, which will remain a symbol of this place. That is why we have invited Savills, one of the leading property consultancy firms, to collaborate on the commercialisation,” added Michał Wesołowski, Project Manager at NDI Development.
Savills is responsible for leasing and advisory services across the project, including retail, service and office space.
“In such projects, it is crucial to precisely match the tenant mix to the local market and the everyday needs of users. Cukrownia, with its post-industrial buildings and surrounding public space, has the potential to become an important point in the city,” said Elżbieta Majdan, Associate Director, Property & Asset Management Retail at Savills.
“Offices at Cukrownia are an option for tenants who value distinctive space. Post-industrial interiors combined with transport accessibility, including proximity to the railway station and connections to Gdańsk, create a different type of office offering in the region,” added Piotr Skuza, Associate Director and Regional Manager at Savills.
“The regeneration of a building of this scale requires combining commercial considerations with the preservation of the urban fabric. Our work includes market analysis, functional planning and operational cost assessment to support the long-term performance of the project,” said Krzysztof Sakierski, Head of Strategic Consulting at Savills.
The development also includes public space elements such as green areas and walking routes along the Radunia River, as well as infrastructure works and more than 250 parking spaces.
