Nhood Services Poland opens first retail park at Auchan Mikołów Shopping Centre

The first retail park developed by Nhood Services Poland officially opened today at the Auchan Mikołów Shopping Centre. The 5,400-square-meter facility, located at 2 Cieszyńska Street, is fully leased and brings together a variety of international and local brands. This project marks a significant milestone for Nhood Services Poland as its first venture into retail park development.

The grand opening, held at 11 a.m., was attended by representatives from local administration, project partners, and customers. Among the special guests was Stanisław Piechula, Mayor of Mikołów.

“We developed this retail park to meet the needs of tenants seeking large retail spaces, some exceeding 500 square meters,” said Marcin Stokowiec, Development Director at Nhood Services Poland. “With this investment, we have attracted renowned brands, creating a strong shopping destination in combination with the neighboring Auchan Mikołów Shopping Centre.”

The retail park has been fully leased since its design phase, with tenants including DM, Martes Sport, Maxi Zoo, Media Expert, RTV Euro AGD, TEDi, Sinsay, and the 1 Minute Smacznego concept.

The project faced significant challenges due to the site’s post-industrial nature and difficult ground conditions. Specialized geotechnical solutions, including piling and soil solidification, were implemented to ensure stability and environmental safety. These efforts were part of a comprehensive remediation process aimed at improving the site’s properties while benefiting the surrounding environment.

“We are proud to celebrate the opening of this facility after just 10 months of construction. This success is due to the collaboration of many dedicated teams, including our general contractor, Infine,” said Marcin Wawiernia, Project Manager at Nhood Services Poland.

Infine’s representative, Tomasz Sikora, highlighted the advanced construction techniques and eco-friendly materials used to create a modern and functional retail space. “The project meets the highest standards of construction while addressing the needs of both tenants and the local community,” he said.

The retail park boasts an innovative and sustainable design, with an original façade that complements the ongoing modernization of the neighboring Auchan Shopping Centre. Large, 4-meter-high shop windows provide ample visibility for tenants, while light lines emphasize the architectural form of the building.

Ecological elements include climbing plants designed to cover an entire wall, newly planted trees in the parking area, and amenities such as watering points and a bicycle service station. Energy-saving solutions like photovoltaic panels and CO2 sensors enhance the building’s efficiency, while high-quality materials contribute to long-term energy savings.

The retail park extends the walkway of the Auchan Mikołów Shopping Centre, with a continuous roof allowing customers to shop comfortably in any weather.

Nhood Services Poland not only oversaw the planning, design, and construction of the project but will also handle its daily management and tenant relations. The retail park is expected to become a central shopping destination in the region, offering convenience, sustainability, and a diverse mix of retail options.

This development underscores Nhood Services Poland’s commitment to creating modern, customer-centric commercial spaces while addressing environmental and community needs.
