SocialStory: Focus Mall Zielona Gora (Poland)
Focus Mall Zielona Góra shows how retail can bring new life to towns and cities
Once home to Polska Wełna, one of Poland’s largest wool production factories and a major regional employer, this site stood unused for nearly a decade after the factory closed in 1999.
In 2008, NEPI Rockcastle redeveloped it into Focus Mall, a modern retail and leisure destination that retains the heritage and character of its industrial past. Today, the centre supports approximately 1,900 jobs, serves as a daily meeting point for the local community and hosts 162 brands.

The initiative spans two strategic pillars, city-level infrastructure transformation and community-level engagement, with Promenada Craiova cited as a flagship example: a near-kilometre boulevard connecting key districts, a cycling path linking the city centre to the mall, and approximately 1,300 jobs generated in the region.
