Exclusive brands at Piłsudski Square: Moliera2 debuts at Metropolitan Warszawa

Moliera2, a leading name in Poland’s luxury market, has secured a prime lease at the iconic Metropolitan Warszawa, enhancing Warsaw’s growing reputation as a global luxury retail hub. The brand will occupy over 1,300 square meters of combined office and retail space, marking a significant expansion in its operations.

Metropolitan Warszawa, designed by Sir Norman Foster, is renowned for blending modernity with sophistication. Its 3,000 square meters of street-level retail and service spaces host prominent tenants, including Redford & Grant, showcasing collections from top-tier fashion houses. Moliera2 now joins this illustrious roster, bringing its portfolio of luxury brands such as Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik, Aquazzura, Khaite, and Paco Rabanne.

The lease includes approximately 650 square meters of office space in Building 3, where Moliera2’s workspace will feature views of its historic first boutique in the nearby Ballet School building. On the ground floor of Building 1, the brand will establish its flagship multi-brand store in a 650-square-meter space with a striking 50-meter dual-sided façade. This location connects two luxury retail anchors: the Hermès boutique at the Raffles Europejski Hotel and the Redford & Grant store.

“Metropolitan Warszawa has long been a cornerstone of Warsaw’s luxury retail scene. With Moliera2’s addition, we’re witnessing a transformation akin to Europe’s major fashion capitals. This area is evolving into a premier destination, offering not just exclusive shopping but also refined dining and unique entertainment,” said Joanna Kowalska-Szymczak, CEO of EBRU Capital, asset managers for Metropolitan Warszawa.

Moliera2’s expansion aligns with Warsaw’s emergence as a dual tourist and business hub, boosting foot traffic to luxury retailers. According to CBRE’s report on Warsaw’s retail streets, the tourism boom directly benefits the city’s high-end shopping districts.

Marcin Michnicki, CEO of Moliera2 S.A., shared his excitement: “Metropolitan is a real estate icon, and this partnership will create a top-tier destination for luxury fashion. Once the planned renovations are completed by 2025, we envision a space where customers can enjoy premium products and unmatched service in a serene setting.”

Located on Piłsudski Square near the Royal Route and Saxon Garden, Metropolitan Warszawa is more than a luxury shopping address. It offers premier office spaces, cyclist facilities, EV charging stations, and underground parking. The building boasts a BREEAM Excellent rating and has achieved WiredScore Platinum certification for digital connectivity, along with a WELL Health-Safety Rating for its superior safety standards.

With a ten-year lease secured, Moliera2’s presence at Metropolitan Warszawa cements the building’s status as a nucleus of luxury and innovation in Poland. This collaboration not only underscores the brand’s ambitious growth strategy but also signals a new era for Warsaw as a European luxury retail destination.
