One of the largest shopping and entertainment centre in Poznan, managed by Sierra Balmain, was sold to a new investor. The agreement finalizing the transaction was signed on September 22, 2021.

We at Sierra Balmain have commented widely on the future of shopping centres both before and during the COVID 19 pandemic. Our position has not changed significantly except to recognise the now more urgent need to design and deliver changes to maximise customer retention and attraction thereby protecting and increasing footfall and income whether tenants’ sales or landlords’ rent both of which have been hit hard for the majority of us in our industry - whether landlord or tenant.

Museums on the borderline of illusion and art have already conquered the world, and now one of them will complete the Europa Centralna entertainment offer. Funzeum located in Gliwice will be the first exhibition of its kind in Poland, introducing to visitors the world of colours, illusions and surprising light plays. The opening of the new attraction is planned for this autumn.

What makes the future of retail so exciting? How industry evolved and adopted to the learnings from the covid-19 crisis? Chris Igwe conducted a podcast conversation with our managing director James Turner. They’ve discussed that and much more on a new episode of the CEO’s talk to Chris Igwe. Enjoy watching!

This is another retail facility this year that has joined Sierra Balmain's portfolio. In February the company took over the management of Nowy Rynek in Jelenia Góra and from May it will also take care of the administration of Centrum Alfa located in the seaside district of Gdańsk-Przymorze.

Aleksandra Janusz has taken up the newly created position from January. Aleksandra was previously associated with, among others, Goldman Sachs International, Patrizia AG, Stage Capital and Ciech R&D – a company from Kulczyk Investments portfolio. The decision to hire a new director is related to Sierra Balmain's development plans on the Polish and Central European markets.
