Supersam in Katowice undergoes transformation with new gastronomic zone

Supersam, a well-known mixed-use facility in Katowice, is set to introduce a new gastronomic zone as part of its ongoing redevelopment. The owner and manager, Globalworth, has initiated demolition and preparatory work for the project, which is scheduled to open in December 2025. The new culinary area will occupy nearly 1,000 square meters on the ground floor and will include a seasonal outdoor garden.

The introduction of a dedicated food space marks a new phase in Supersam’s development, aligning with a strategy outlined two years ago. The modernization process has involved the consolidation of commercial space, with the expiration of three lease agreements in early February 2025 allowing for a 900-square-meter area to be repurposed. Dismantling work is already underway, with fit-out construction expected to begin in April 2025 before the handover to tenants in autumn.

According to Artur Apostoł, Managing Director of Real Estate Operations at Globalworth in Poland, the addition of a gastronomic component is expected to enhance Supersam’s appeal to urban customers. The project follows Globalworth’s experience in multifunctional spaces, including Hala Koszyki in Warsaw and Wrocław’s Renoma, both of which incorporate food-oriented concepts.

Supersam has held a strong position in the Katowice retail market, but the demand for a comprehensive dining experience has been growing among both visitors and prospective tenants. Barbara Wójcik, Asset Management & Retail Leasing Director at Globalworth, stated that the company’s previous experience in developing food-focused areas, such as Basketroom and the PeDeT food & chill zone in Wrocław, has provided insights into designing a functional and attractive gastronomic space. She emphasized that the new zone aims to cater to office workers, fitness center users, and the wider local community, with the potential to become a standalone culinary destination in Katowice.

The project will introduce nine dining spaces with a shared seating area, offering a mix of international cuisine and local eateries. The design concept will feature warm tones, natural materials, and ample greenery, creating distinct seating areas. Additionally, a seasonal outdoor garden will provide an open-air dining option on the north side of the building.

The entire renovation process is expected to take 10 months, with the official opening of the gastronomic zone planned for December 2025.
