Góraszka project secures building permit, construction set to begin in 2026

Ceetrus, the investor behind the Góraszka project, obtained a building permit in January 2025 for the construction of a multifunctional shopping and entertainment centre. The development, managed by Nhood Services Poland, is planned for the eastern part of the Warsaw metropolitan area. Construction of the main building is set to begin in 2026 and is expected to take approximately two years.

The central commercial building of the Góraszka project will provide nearly 40,000 square metres of retail space. Alongside planned neighbouring retail facilities and the existing Majaland Warsaw amusement park, the project aims to create a convenient location for shopping and leisure activities. The site will include a variety of retail and entertainment options, a food court, an Auchan hypermarket, and a Leroy Merlin DIY store. In total, the commercial and service facilities within the complex will cover approximately 65,000 square metres of gross leasable area (GLA). Additional amenities such as an aquapark, drive-thru restaurants, and a petrol station are also planned.

According to Anna Będkowska, Project Manager at Nhood Services Poland, securing the building permit marks a significant step forward. She highlights the project’s importance for the eastern Warsaw region and notes the strong support from the local community and the Wiązowna Municipality authorities.

The construction process will take place in phases. The initial stage will involve developing the technical infrastructure for the entire site, including provisions for partner companies involved in the project. This will be followed by the construction of retail and service buildings, with 40,000 square metres dedicated to commercial space. The retail component will include a hypermarket, catering facilities, and supporting infrastructure such as roads and utilities. Simultaneously, construction will begin on adjacent partner facilities, including restaurants, a DIY store, and a water park.

The project follows sustainable development principles, aligning with Nhood Services Poland’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy. The Góraszka development has already received a BREEAM Communities certificate in 2024, which assesses its positive impact on the local community and environment. The investor also intends to obtain a BREEAM New Construction certification and is participating in the MUQI (Mixed Use Quality Index) certification process, which evaluates the quality of mixed-use developments.

The site is positioned near the S17 and S2 road junction, ensuring accessibility from Warsaw’s southern and eastern districts as well as surrounding municipalities. A planned public transport connection includes bus stops with four bays, with discussions underway between the investor, the Wiązowna Municipality, and the Municipal Roads Authority in Warsaw to finalise the routes.

The retail portion of the Góraszka project is led by Ceetrus as the primary investor.
