M1 Poznan

M1 Poznań is one of the principal regional shopping centres in Wielkopolska and the Greater Poland retail map, with the 55,000-sqm regional format spanning over 70 retail and service units anchored by the ATAC Hiper Discount by Auchan grocery flagship. The property sits within the broader M1 EPP portfolio of nine regional shopping centres standardised across central and southern Poland under the EPP asset management mandate established on May 1, 2024 following the termination of the Metro AG master lease, with the EPP standardised format programming defining the broader contemporary commercial position.

The format combines the ATAC Hiper Discount by Auchan grocery anchor with the contemporary Polish vertical fashion register featuring HalfPrice and H&M alongside the broader fashion offer. The MediaMarkt consumer electronics anchor, the CCC footwear position, the Komfort and Komfort Home flooring and home-furnishing operators, the TEDi value-tier home-goods flagship, the AAA Auto vehicle retail position, the Just GYM fitness club, and the Monnari, Big Star, and 5.10.15. Polish fashion register define the broader fashion-and-services offer. The CentrumRowerowe.pl cycling specialty flagship debut with the dedicated bike-testing track, the Tchibo specialty coffee position, the Sphinx restaurant, and the broader dining circuit including KFC, Berlin Doner Kebap, Piekarnia Grochola bakery, and Inmedio press complete the property’s broader convenience-and-entertainment programming.

The catchment combines the dense Poznań residential demographic of approximately 540,000 city residents with the broader Wielkopolska regional concentration of approximately 3.5 million residents and the cross-regional traffic flowing through the principal Poznań arterial corridor. Direct accessibility includes the property’s positioning along the principal Poznań regional retail corridor serving the broader Poznań public transport network, the dedicated extensive parking infrastructure handling the regional motorised demand, and the property’s broader integration into the Greater Poland metropolitan retail register.

EPP operates M1 Poznań within its broader 12-property M1 and Power Park portfolio totalling approximately 470,000 sqm of GLA acquired from the Chariot Top Group consortium in three tranches between January 2018 and March 2021. Tranche 1 (€358.7 million, January 2018) included M1 Czeladź, Kraków, Łódź, and Zabrze totalling 194,400 sqm. Tranche 2 (€222.5 million, June 2019) included M1 Bytom, Częstochowa, Radom, M1 Poznań, and three Power Parks totalling 184,000 sqm. Tranche 3 (€110.9 million, March 2021) completed the remaining Power Park assets. EPP achieved nearly 20 percent electricity consumption savings across the M1 network between 2018 and 2022, with the network registering 99.3 percent occupancy at the start of 2024 ahead of the May 1, 2024 transition from the Metro AG master lease to direct EPP property management. The asset’s commercial role within the Polish retail map is the principal Poznań regional ATAC-anchored mid-tier destination, complementing rather than competing with the larger 100,000-sqm Posnania super-regional in southern Poznań and the broader Greater Poland regional retail register.
