Furthermore, after the completion of the construction work EPP will be the asset manager of Galeria Młociny and Echo Investment is to complete the construction work and it will be responsible for the commercialization and marketing. After Towarowa 22, it is the second joint project, which will be developed by those two companies in this formula.

It is located the north of Warsaw and after its opening it will service a rapidly growing residential area that lacks a modern and convenient shopping and entertainment offer. 
 
The facility is located near the main public transport hub in northern Warsaw, which sees 40,000 daily commuters.
