Echo Investment has signed a contract with Przedsiębiorstwo Budownictwa Drogowo Inżynieryjnego S.A. concerning the construction of a new crossroads near Galeria Libero in Katowice. The work is to start this month and its completion is planned for March 2018.

“The redevelopment of the road layout near Libero will mostly provide greater comfort of driving at the crossroads of Kościuszki Street and Kolejowa Street, which are used by over 15,000 vehicles per hour at peak time. The new road layout is not only convenient  for drivers but also for pedestrians and cyclists. The work, which is to start in July, will involve the construction of additional traffic lanes in each direction as well as grade-separated traffic under Kościuszki Street for the cars going to the city centre. We are also planning the construction of pavements and new cycle paths on the entire redeveloped area,” says Mariusz Szatański, project manager in Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department. “The issue of easy access and exit from the shopping centre in each direction has been a priority issue for us since the beginning of the work on Galeria Libero. Last year we concluded a contract with the city authorities concerning the redevelopment of the road layout near Libero, the entirety of which is financed by us. We want customers of entire Silesia to have convenient access to our project. The new road layout is also an added value for this part of the city,” says Tomasz Domoń, commercialization director in Echo Investment"s Shopping Centre Department. The construction of Galeria Libero is on schedule. Advanced commercialization process is conducted regardless of the progressing construction work. Over 70 pct of Libero"s retail area has been leased. The opening of Libero is planned for the spring of 2018.

Libero Katowice. New shopping experience.

Galeria Libero is a new exciting place on the retail map of Katowice – a fresh look at shopping, entertainment, recreation and sport. It is a friendly and comfortable area which has been designed in a thoroughly modern way, however, it features a classical approach to aesthetics. It is a place for meetings, inspiration, fascination and simply having a good time.

More than 150 shops, numerous restaurants, cafes, a cinema multiplex, a fitness club – Libero is the only place in the region to include such extensive sports and recreational offer. It also contains a modern urban square featuring fountains, an amphitheatre, a skate park, an ice rink and some areas for relaxation, stationary games and other outdoor activities.

Libero is being developed on Tadeusza Kościuszki Street in Katowice. Its opening is planned for the spring of 2018.
