Centrum Metropol, a new mixed-use project located in the heart of the Polish city of Wroclaw, was officially launched in mid-December. The development will consist of a mid-scale business hotel under the Hilton Garden Inn brand together with modern office, retail and convenient residential facilities. McCarthy-Harte is the investor and developer of the project and DTZ is acting as advisor.

The 32,700-m² development will consist of a 4-star hotel with 150 rooms and will operate under the prize winning brand of Hilton Garden Inn. A-class office space will take 13,000 m² of the development. In addition, 36 apartments are planned with an average size of 50 m². On the ground floor 15 retail units ranging in size from 80 to 400 m² are going to offer convenient shopping and service points. Most of -1 level, and the entire -2 level will accommodate 221 publicly accessible car parking lots.

Joanna Kowalska-Szymczak, director of Investment and Development at DTZ said 'It is an important step for Wroclaw on the way to enhancing the city’s position as a business and tourist destination. I strongly believe that this modern mixed-use project will create a valuable addition to the city’s infrastructure, architecture and business environment.'

The Centrum Metropol project combined with the soon to be redeveloped adjacent Capitol Music Theatre will make a significant architectural statement and will enhance the metropolitan flavour of the street. The Centrum Metropol Development with it's typically urban, rhythmically perforated facades will compliment the pure and solid planned new Capitol Theatre.
