European retail specialist Neinver has laid the foundation stone of its Galeria Katowicka project in Poland.

This joint project between Neinver and the Polish railway infrastructure company, PKP, involves redesigning the old station to create a new railway station, an underground bus terminal, a shopping centre, an office building and an underground car park. It also includes modernising the road infrastructure around the new complex and is part of a scheme to modernise the country’s railway stations.

Galeria Katowicka, which represents Neinver's largest investment in Europe, will have an area of 200,000 m2, of which 53,000 m2 will be devoted to retail, providing 250 shops.
