The official grand opening of Galeria Victoria took place on Saturday 16 October 2010. Keen Property Partners Retail is the developer and investor behind the retail scheme. 'We are extremely glad that almost 110,000 people visited Galeria Victoria in its first weekend, shopping, spending time with friends and family in the coffeehouses and restaurants, and taking part in numerous competitions and other specially prepared fun and games,' said Richard Keen, managing director of Keen Property Partners Retail. 'A large crowd of inhabitants of Walbrzych also came to watch the concerts of Katerine and Patrycja Markowska and the amazing fireworks display in the evening,' he added.

'The inhabitants of Walbrzych and the surrounding region have once again proved that they want to participate actively in the life of this first retail and entertainment centre in the city and region, and Galeria Victoria is now truly ‘Mine, Yours, Ours’, as its slogan declares.'

The two-storey centre comprises a total retail area of 43,000-m2 and is the first modern retail, cinema, residential and hotel complex in Walbrzych and the surrounding region. Construction started in February 2009.
