Focus Estate Fund has successfully repositioned Turawa Park in Opole, a 35,000 sqm shopping centre comprising a gallery, retail park and redeveloped DIY box. The transformation involved comprehensive architectural redevelopment, including facade renewal, interior reconfiguration and technical upgrades.


Following the redevelopment, Focus Estate Fund has signed new lease agreements and extensions totalling over 11,400 sqm, bringing Turawa Park to approximately 98% occupancy. The total investment amounted to €5.5 million and was delivered in partnership with BNP Paribas Group.

Recent tenant additions include MR.DIY (nearly 1,000 sqm), Kinderplaneta family entertainment centre (885 sqm, opening 2026), and Rossmann, which relocated to a new 750 sqm store. Other new tenants include Drogeria dm (622 sqm), Pan Materac (362 sqm), and several smaller retailers. The property now hosts more than 60 tenants with around 1,300 parking spaces.

Maxim Shkolnick, General Partner at Focus Estate Fund, said: "Turawa Park is a great example of how our active asset management strategy brings measurable results. We have achieved a 49% reduction in the Occupancy Cost Ratio while enhancing the overall quality of the tenant mix. Thanks to the strong tenant line-up and a solid WAULT of 7.53 years, the centre is progressing toward full occupancy." The modernisation included sustainability upgrades such as rooftop solar panels and EV charging stations.

Fabrice Paumelle, Head of Retail at BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland, commented: "Turawa Park is now an indispensable part of the Opole region map and, with its well-curated tenant mix and recent remodelling, is set to attract an increasing number of customers in the years ahead."
