Echo Investment has completed the sale of Libero shopping centre in Katowice to Estonian investment firm Summus Capital for €103 million. This marks the largest single retail property acquisition in Poland in 2025.
Libero Katowice spans 45,000 sqm of GLA with over 150 shops, restaurants, cafes, a fitness centre, bowling alley and cinema. Designed by MOFO Architekci and opened in 2018, the centre is almost fully leased and attracts approximately 6 million visitors annually. Located in the heart of Silesia's capital, it regularly hosts promotional campaigns and cultural events.
"This is our second successful transaction with Summus Capital after selling the React office building in Łódź," said Rafał Mazurczak, board member of Echo Investment. "It confirms that Libero Katowice is an attractive retail asset with strong market position, well-chosen tenants, high footfall and growing turnover. The sale represents another step in our strategy of divesting mature assets whilst focusing on further development."
Summus Capital is an investment holding company specialising in commercial real estate across the Baltic states, now expanding into Central and Eastern European markets. Following the Libero acquisition, the company's portfolio includes retail, office, logistics and medical properties worth over €565 million, with more than 35% located in Poland. Scope Ratings maintains the firm's stable BB/Stable rating.
"Libero Katowice is a strong, well-positioned property with recognisable tenants and significant long-term growth potential," said Hannes Pihl, board member of Summus Capital and managing partner of Zenith Family Office. "This acquisition aligns with our long-term strategy to strengthen our presence in Poland, one of the region's most dynamic real estate markets."
