Plac Unii City Shopping

Plac Unii City Shopping is a central Warsaw urban retail asset integrated into the Plac Unii mixed-use complex, opened on October 12, 2013 with the 15,500-sqm three-level retail format positioned alongside the 41,000-sqm A+ office space across three buildings on the southern edge of Śródmieście. The property was developed by Liebrecht & wood and BBI Development on the site of the former Supersam supermarket (1962-2006), the first self-service supermarket in Poland, with the architectural design by APA Kuryłowicz & Associates led by Stefan Kuryłowicz integrating the 90-metre, 22-storey tower with two 30-metre side wings under the connecting glass roofs at 2 Puławska Street.

The format combines a Carrefour grocery anchor in the basement Supersam concept with the contemporary fashion register including H&M and the Smyk children’s flagship, alongside the Empik media presence, Douglas health-and-beauty, Rossmann pharmacy, and the Miele showroom that distinguishes the property’s positioning. The dining circuit organises around café and restaurant operators serving the integrated 4,000-employee office population in the connected office towers including Bank Pekao, Deutsche Bank, ING Group entities, and additional white-collar tenants across the 41,000-sqm office programme.

The catchment combines the Mokotów-Śródmieście border residential demographic with the substantial daytime workforce of the integrated Plac Unii office population and the broader central Warsaw catchment flowing along the Puławska arterial connecting Mokotów to the central business district. Direct accessibility includes tram routes 4, 18, and 35 serving the immediate Plac Unii Lubelskiej interchange, the 501 bus connection, the Politechnika M1 metro station within walking distance, and 800 underground parking spaces. The position approximately ten minutes from the Warsaw Central Railway Station and fifteen minutes from Chopin Airport positions the centre at one of the most accessible central Warsaw retail locations.

Invesco Real Estate operates Plac Unii as part of its Polish portfolio following the 2014 acquisition from the Liebrecht & wood and BBI Development developers for €226 million. The asset’s commercial role within the Polish retail map is the principal central-Warsaw transit-oriented mixed-use retail destination, with the architectural integration into the Plac Unii office complex and the visionary Stefan Kuryłowicz design distinguishing the property from the conventional Warsaw super-regional pattern. The asset operates one tier below the larger 67,500-sqm Blue City and 115,000-sqm Westfield Arkadia super-regionals while occupying a distinctly upscale central-Warsaw transit-oriented register.
