A PEPCO shop offering apparel for the entire family and decorations will join to the tenants of the multifunctional shopping and entertainment complex. One of the more than 800 shops operating in Poland will occupy an area of 565 sqm on the 1st level of Libero, which is currently developing in the south of Katowice. The contract brings Echo Investment closer to the strategic goal of the fully lease of the complex before its opening.
