Scallier has obtained exclusive rights to commercialize five new retail parks planned in Toruń, Bydgoszcz, Ruda Śląska, Zabrze, and Darłowo. Construction is scheduled to start between late 2025 and early 2026, with the facilities expected to open during the first half of 2027. Altogether, the projects will offer a total gross leasable area exceeding 40,000 sqm.
According to Bartosz Nowak, Managing Partner at Scallier, the company’s approach involves analyzing local markets and tenant demand to define appropriate tenant mixes, set rental levels, and design leasing strategies that balance investor expectations with customer convenience for everyday shopping.
In Bydgoszcz, a retail park of approximately 13,000 sqm will be developed on Grunwaldzka Street, near residential areas and national road DK80. Toruń’s planned retail park will cover 10,000 sqm on Bukowa Street, adjacent to housing estates and a main ring road.
In Darłowo, the first phase of development will create over 7,000 sqm of retail space on the main access road to Darłowo and Darłówko. Despite having around 12,000 permanent residents, the town attracts about one million tourists annually, contributing to the demand for retail services.
The second phase of a retail park in Ruda Śląska will add 6,000 sqm of space near existing commercial facilities such as Castorama and Aura Park.
In Zabrze, Scallier is managing both the commercialization and the full development of a retail park on Wolności Street, which is being constructed on the site of a former supermarket. An adjacent Aldi store will supplement the retail offering.
Scallier has also recently been involved in several openings. In November 2024, it commercialized a retail park in Ruda Śląska, followed by a park in Pyrzyce in May 2025. Earlier this year, the company delivered a retail facility in Kościan through the redevelopment of a former Tesco building, now housing tenants including Worldbox, Rossmann, Sinsay, Xtreme Fitness, and grocery anchor tenant Biedronka.
Further openings are planned for later this year. A 6,700 sqm retail park on Bukowska Street in Poznań is set to open in August, anchored by Lidl. In October, Wrocław will see the launch of a retail park on Średzka Street, while December will bring the opening of a 7,200 sqm facility on Bydgoska Street in Chełmża.
Nowak noted that there is still potential for growth in the Polish retail park sector, citing lower market saturation levels and steady interest in local shopping centers. Scallier continues to expand its tenant portfolio with both new brands entering Poland and established retailers and service providers, aiming to offer a variety of services and retail categories, including fashion, sports, health, beauty, and leisure.
