Opened on March 17, 1999, Rondo was Bydgoszcz’s first modern shopping centre. The property at ul. Kruszwicka 1 began trading as King Cross Bydgoszcz and adopted the Rondo name in October 2003. A major two-stage remodel was completed in 2014, while Apsys records 2015 as the centre’s most recent expansion and revitalisation.
Auchan is the hypermarket anchor, with the space having changed banners from Géant to Real and then Auchan earlier in the property’s history. The current tenant mix includes CCC and Sinsay in fashion, Pepco and Gudi Home in value and general merchandise, Hebe and Rossmann in health and beauty, RTV Euro AGD in electronics, Martes Sport and 4F in sporting goods and sportswear, and Empik in books and lifestyle retail. CityFit operates 24/7, including outside the centre’s standard trading hours; KFC, McDonald’s, Cukiernia Sowa, and Grycan are among the food and beverage operators.
Rondo sits about 1.5 kilometres from central Bydgoszcz at a major public-transport junction and on road corridors toward Poznań, Koszalin and Szczecin, and Warsaw. The centre offers 756 covered parking spaces. Bydgoszcz had 321,100 residents at the end of 2025, with the centre’s catchment reinforced by tram, bus, and regional road access.
Star Capital Finance acquired Rondo in May 2024 as part of a six-centre Polish retail portfolio purchased from Cromwell Property Group for approximately EUR 285 million, alongside Janki (Warsaw), Kometa (Toruń), Korona (Wrocław), Tulipan (Łódź), and Ster (Szczecin). The transaction marked Star Capital Finance’s first investment in Poland; Cromwell continues to act as asset manager, and Apsys manages Rondo on a day-to-day basis.
