Yareal Polska continues to expand the retail and service offering of its flagship mixed-use development in Warsaw’s Praga-Południe district. The tenant roster at SOHO by Yareal has been strengthened by the addition of pet supplies retailer Maxi Zoo, ceramics workshop Alike Pottery Studio and coffee distributor Unroasted. Under the newly signed lease agreements, Yareal has leased nearly 500 sqm of functional retail space located on the ground floors of the development’s buildings.
Maxi Zoo Polska is a pet supplies retail chain owned by Germany’s Fressnapf Group, specialising in pet food and accessories. The company operates more than 175 brick-and-mortar stores across Poland, as well as an online store. Maxi Zoo offers over 8,000 products from well-known brands at affordable prices, alongside exclusive private-label ranges including Premiere, Select Gold, Real Nature and Dogs Creek. The new Maxi Zoo store will occupy more than 150 sqm of retail space on the ground floor of the SOHO 10 building. The opening is scheduled for early October this year.
Also within the SOHO 10 building, Alike Pottery Studio will open a new ceramics workshop dedicated to pottery enthusiasts. The studio caters both to those who treat ceramics as a relaxing hobby and to individuals seeking professional training before opening their own workshop. Alike Pottery Studio will offer pottery and ceramics workshops, educational courses and a retail area featuring ceramics-related accessories. The studio will occupy nearly 130 sqm of functional space and is expected to open in October this year. It will be the brand’s third location in Warsaw.
SOHO by Yareal has also welcomed Unroasted to its tenant mix. Established in Wrocław in 2014, the company specialises in sourcing and supplying high-quality green coffee beans to customers in Poland and across the CEE region. Unroasted focuses on building long-term relationships throughout the supply chain, acting as a bridge between coffee growers, cooperatives and roasteries. The new Unroasted store will occupy more than 150 sqm on the ground floor of the RUBIN residential building, with direct access to the linear park. The company is also set to launch its operations in Kamionek in October this year.
Paulina Petynka, Leasing Director at Yareal Polska, said: “SOHO by Yareal is being developed as a place that combines residents’ everyday needs with an offering that contributes to the unique character of this part of the city. The new tenants perfectly illustrate the diversity of concepts we seek to integrate within the development – from retail and services, through lifestyle and educational offerings, to venues designed with the local community and social interaction in mind. Maxi Zoo, Alike Pottery Studio and Unroasted further strengthen SOHO by Yareal’s position as a vibrant, multidimensional urban destination, open both to Kamionek residents and to everyone visiting this part of Praga-Południe.”
