M1 Marki

M1 Marki is one of the principal Warsaw eastern metropolitan regional shopping centres in the Marki city adjacent to the eastern Warsaw urban boundary, with the 32,862-sqm regional format spanning over 50 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 integration into the broader Warsaw metropolitan retail map establishing the eastern regional commercial position.

The format combines the ATAC Hiper Discount by Auchan grocery anchor with the contemporary Polish vertical fashion register featuring H&M and Reserved alongside the broader fashion offer. The MediaMarkt consumer electronics anchor, the OBI DIY warehouse, the TK Maxx off-price flagship, the C&A flagship presence, the JYSK home-furnishing operator, the Pepco home-goods position, the TEDi value-tier home-goods anchor, the Rossmann pharmacy, and the broader convenience services define the M1 standardised tenant register. The dining circuit, the Z Pieca Rodem bakery, the food court operators, and the broader food-and-beverage programming complete the property’s convenience-and-entertainment programming, with the M1 Marki position notably remaining outside the principal three-tranche EPP M1 acquisition and held within the residual Chariot Top Group portfolio prior to the EPP property management transfer.

The catchment combines the dense Marki residential demographic with the broader Warsaw metropolitan concentration of approximately 1.86 million city residents and 3.1 million metropolitan residents, alongside the cross-regional traffic flowing through the principal Warsaw eastern arterial corridor connecting Marki to the Warsaw central retail flagships. Direct accessibility includes the property’s positioning along the S8 Warsaw eastern bypass corridor serving the broader Warsaw eastern public transport network, the dedicated parking infrastructure handling the metropolitan motorised demand, and the property’s integration into the broader Mazovian metropolitan retail register dominated by the Warsaw central super-regional flagships.

EPP operates M1 Marki within its broader 12-property M1 and Power Park portfolio totalling approximately 470,000 sqm of GLA acquired from the Chariot Top Group consortium between January 2018 and March 2021, with M1 Marki retained by Chariot following the principal three-tranche M1 acquisition and subsequently transferred to EPP property management following the broader Metro AG master lease termination. The EPP master lease succeeded the Metro AG management mandate on May 1, 2024 with the network registering 99.3 percent occupancy at that transition point and approximately 20 percent electricity consumption savings achieved across the M1 network between 2018 and 2022. The asset’s commercial role within the Polish retail map is the principal eastern Warsaw metropolitan ATAC-anchored mid-tier destination, complementing rather than competing with the larger 115,000-sqm Westfield Arkadia URW super-regional in central Warsaw, the 67,500-sqm Blue City regional, the 63,000-sqm Atrium Promenada eastern Warsaw flagship, and the broader Warsaw metropolitan retail register.
