The center will be located in the town of Piaseczno, on the southern outskirts of the capital. Its style will mimic the architecture of Warsawâs old town, and will include 80 shops plus cafeterias and restaurants in 12,000 m² of commercial area. A car park will provide 1,200 parking spaces.
A second phase will begin 18 months after the opening.of the center, or earlier should interest remain buoyant, and will bring the total developed space to 23,900 m².
