“Libero is a project that will create a new shopping and entertainment destination in the south of Katowice, invite you to do shopping, meet each other and have fun. We estimate that will create around 1,500 new employment opportunities in the area. We have invested over PLN 350 million in Libero, and at the same time we have made an effort to create a really friendly part of the city, including improvement of the road network to handle the traffic. Echo Investment believes in the potential of Katowice. That’s why we are also investing in another project in the city, the Face 2 Face office complex consisting of 47,000 sqm,” says Nicklas Lindberg, CEO of Echo Investment.
Libero is also a place where you can find several brands debuting in Silesia.

The ultramodern Helios cinema, having two prestigious Helios Dream screening rooms equipped with reclining leather armchairs, Dolby Atmos sound and 4K image, has already been providing a lot of entertainment to the guests.
”We would like to Libero to be a lively and very popular meeting place, which is why nearly 20 percent of space is dedicated to restaurants, cafes and entertainment that is unique in other shopping destinations in the area. The entire second floor, with its gastronomic and entertainment offer and a lounge terrace, as well as the newest state of the cinema and a unique bowling and pizza experience will also be open on Sundays free of trade” said Marcin Materny, a board member of Echo Investment responsible for retail investments.
