In a market where tenant commitment often lags well behind construction timelines, Scallier has managed something that speaks directly to the confidence institutional retail is placing in Poland's secondary cities. The developer's new retail park in Boleslawiec has been 100% leased while still under construction, with the scheme set to open just weeks after the summer holidays end in September 2026.
The project occupies the former site of a Tesco supermarket on Aleja Tysiaclecia Street, acquired by Scallier in partnership with a private investor and now undergoing comprehensive redevelopment. What makes the timeline notable for developers watching Central European retail delivery speeds is just how compressed it is, full pre-letting and a complete redevelopment cycle compressed into a matter of months rather than years, a pace that signals both strong tenant appetite and Scallier's operational control across the entire investment lifecycle.
Upon completion, the scheme will offer approximately 5,000 m² of gross leasable area, with the option to expand by a further 2,000 m², a flexibility that Wojciech Jurga, Managing Partner at Scallier, frames as a deliberate response to tenant demand rather than a fixed masterplan. "At the current stage of construction, the retail park has already been fully leased. The project has attracted exceptionally strong interest from tenants. We have just signed the final lease agreement with ShockPrice, a new off-price retail chain operating within the Modivo Platform, which will occupy 1,700 sqm of space," he said.
For investors tracking retail expansion into Poland's smaller regional markets, the tenant roster itself carries a signal worth noting: every brand opening in the scheme will be making its market debut in Boleslawiec. Wojciech Jurga noted that this first-to-market positioning materially strengthens the project's competitive footing and its pull on local consumer spending that has previously had nowhere nearby to go. The confirmed lineup includes ALDI, ShockPrice, Action, Xtreme Fitness, and Dr. Max pharmacy, which already trades at the location, alongside an unmanned Petroprix fuel station.
The site's positioning near National Road 94, Boleslawiec's bypass and a key corridor connecting the city to Zgorzelec and Legnica, extends its catchment well beyond the city's own population of more than 37,000 residents into the wider region. That regional pull, combined with a fully pre-let scheme delivered on an unusually tight timeline, positions the Boleslawiec park as a case study in how disciplined, vertically integrated developers are capturing demand in markets larger retail groups have been slower to enter.
The development reflects Scallier's end-to-end model already proven across Poland and Romania, spanning land acquisition, development management, leasing, and long-term property management under one roof.
