The uniform red brick façade of the Manufaktura shopping centre in Lódź reminds visitors of the building’s history as a textile factory while also radiating a timeless quality. The property has a BREEAM Excellent rating and is a vibrant shopping destination in Poland’s third largest city. In addition to shopping opportunities, the building also offers space for concerts, open air performances and other public events. A DIY store and cinema also located on the site belong to Leroy Merlin and Cinema City and are therefore not part of the fund assets.

The Manufaktura shopping centre benefits from being located just a short distance from the Polish capital, Warsaw, and having a large catchment area of some 2.5 million people. The complex comprises 11 historic brick buildings plus the new build shopping centre constructed in 2006. With over 300 retail units, the centre is one of the largest malls in Poland. At the heart of Manufaktura is its unique feature, the “Rynek”, or market place, where large events are regularly held.
