Turawa Park shopping centre near Opole (southern Poland), owned by Focus Estate Fund since 2022, is steadily focusing on development and modernisation to meet the expectations of both customers and tenants. As part of the reconstruction, approximately 9,000 sqm GLA of space has been redesigned and enhanced. The project’s total cost was €5.5 million, with financing partially secured through BNP Paribas Bank.
Construction work began in full after obtaining building permits at the end of last year, and the results are already visible. Several new brands have recently joined Turawa Park, including New Yorker, Forpepe House, and TEDi. Long-time tenants Martes Sport and Media Expert have relocated to new spaces in the retail park. Martes Sport has expanded its footprint, highlighting its growing popularity and commitment to Turawa Park. Rossmann has signed a new lease, doubling the size of its store. In early 2025, one of the most anticipated stores in the region, DM, will open at Turawa Park.
Maxim Shkolnik, General Partner at Focus Estate Fund, emphasized: “Turawa Park has undergone a significant transformation, becoming a vibrant, modern hub that caters to the evolving needs of our customers and the local community. This development creates a space that is not only ideal for today’s shoppers but also built to accommodate future growth, making it a premier investment opportunity. Sustainability has been a key priority throughout this process. With solar panels installed on the roof, we’ve improved energy efficiency and reduced our environmental footprint. Turawa Park is quickly becoming a destination where wellness, lifestyle, and community converge, offering a meaningful experience for all.”
Fabrice Paumelle, Head of Retail at BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland, comments on the project: “This is another remodelling and extension strategy that came to life thanks to the engagement of the multi-skilled BNP Paribas Real Estate teams. It is fulfilling to see how the initial convenience centre turned into a power destination for the Opole region customers. It was all possible thanks to trust & cross-cooperation with the Focus Estate Fund team.”
