Refield and RGL are advancing the commercialisation of a retail park in Środa Wielkopolska with 18,000 sqm GLA. Newly signed lease agreements cover 3,500 sqm, with Lidl among the project’s key tenants. The investors are in advanced negotiations with further brands and expect to close 80% of leasing by the end of 2026.
Signing the lease agreement with Lidl marks one of the key milestones in the commercialisation of the project in Środa Wielkopolska. The grocery operator will occupy a standalone building located at the entrance to the retail park, making it one of the key components of the project’s offer. At the same time, Refield and RGL are expanding the retail park’s tenant mix with well-recognised brands. Pepco, with its multi-category offer, and Sinsay from the fashion segment will also join the retail park. The new lease agreements cover a total of approximately 3,500 sqm of space.
“Securing Lidl as a tenant is a crucial step in the development of this project,” said Fabian Eryk Barbarowicz, CEO of Refield. “A strong grocery anchor, combined with other well-recognised brands, enables us to create a comprehensive day-to-day retail offer for the residents of Środa Wielkopolska and the wider catchment area. Commercialisation is progressing very dynamically, and the advanced stage of ongoing negotiations allows us to expect the project to reach an 80% occupancy by the end of this year.”
The retail park in Środa Wielkopolska is being developed as part of the strategic cooperation between Refield and RGL in the modern retail sector, focusing on regional cities and towns.
“From the beginning, our priority was to create a scheme that would provide a convenient and complementary destination for everyday shopping. The scale of the investment allows us to combine key retail, service and leisure categories, while precisely tailoring the offer to the needs of the local market,” emphasised Radosław Gadomski, CEO of RGL.
Upon completion, the retail park in Środa Wielkopolska will offer approximately 18,000 sqm of gross leasable area. The project will accommodate more than 30 tenants representing a range of sectors. Customers will have access to parking for approximately 460 cars, as well as electric vehicle charging stations. The development incorporates sustainable building solutions, and the investors plan to seek BREEAM certification.
Construction works are scheduled to start in early 2027, with the opening planned for the first half of 2028.
