Apsys Polska received three prestigious awards for Posnania during the 17th edition of the CEE Retail Awards, one of Europe’s most important competitions in the commercial real estate industry. The awards ceremony took place on January 30, 2025, in Warsaw, gathering key representatives of the retail sector and investors from across the region.
At this year’s CEE Retail Awards, Posnania earned the title of Ultimate Retail Destination, a distinction awarded to shopping centres of exceptional market significance. This centre seamlessly integrates retail, entertainment, and lifestyle functions, standing out with its extensive shopping offer featuring unique brands, an engaging calendar of events, and outstanding customer service solutions. Thanks to a consistently implemented development strategy and investments in enhancing consumer experiences, Posnania continues to attract visitors and strengthen its position as a leading shopping and entertainment destination.
Another award went to Marek Ćwiek, Director of Posnania, who was honoured with the prestigious Shopping Centre Director award. This recognition acknowledges his professionalism, strategic vision, and effective centre management.
“An industry award is always a great honor. I am proud to manage one of the most innovative shopping centers in Europe, but I know this is the success of an entire team. I want to thank everyone who contributes to Posnania every day, both at the center and in our headquarters, making it a unique place for customers, tenants, and the entire community,” said Marek Ćwiek, Director of Posnania Shopping Center.
In the newly introduced Lifestyle by Natalia Tomczyk category, recognizing the most innovative and influential retail projects, Poznań’s Food Fyrtel won the award. This vibrant food hall has been one of the region’s most popular culinary hotspots since its opening in 2022. Covering nearly 2,000 square meters, it houses several restaurants and food trucks offering a wide variety of flavours from around the world. However, Food Fyrtel is more than just gastronomy – it is also a trendy event space that hosts concerts, themed parties, stand-up performances, and talent competitions, continuously delivering new experiences.
“Winning three awards for Posnania at the 17th CEE Retail Awards is not only a source of pride for us but also confirmation that Apsys’ shopping center management strategy delivers tangible results and is recognized internationally. We continuously invest in innovative solutions, high-quality retail offerings, and spaces tailored to evolving customer needs to ensure that all our managed properties offer more than just shopping. Our goal is for each center to become an integral part of the city, making it a better place and setting trends for the entire industry. These awards validate our leadership position in the Central and Eastern European retail real estate market and motivate us to further develop our managed properties,” emphasized Justyna Kur, Vice President and Director of Property Management at Apsys Polska.
