Scallier expands investment portfolio – new retail property in Ciechocinek
Scallier, a retail real estate investment management firm, has expanded its portfolio by completing the purchase of a retail pavilion in Ciechocinek, which houses a Biedronka chain store, on behalf of a client.
-
Property area: 1 100 m²
-
Transaction value: approximately €1.5 million
Steady growth and consistent strategy
Scallier currently manages a portfolio of nearly 50 properties with a total value of around €500 million. The company is expanding its business intensively, with advanced talks on the acquisition of more retail projects.
“We have consistently pursued our development strategy by finding projects with high investment potential. Today, it is the smaller retail properties that provide real value to investors.”
– Bartosz Nowak, Managing Partner at Scallier
Smaller facilities – more flexibility
Scallier has specialized in compact retail formats for years. As the company’s management emphasizes, it is the smaller retail facilities, tailored to the needs of local communities, that are showing:
-
High resistance to market turbulence (e.g., pandemic),
-
Complementarity with e-commerce,
-
flexibility, making them easily adaptable to changing conditions.
Locality and proximity to the customer key to success
“These types of properties are safe assets – they cater to the daily needs of residents and are ideal for brands that want to be closer to the customer. We see more and more examples of large retail chains introducing formats adapted to smaller locations.”
– Bartosz Nowak
Tenants of smaller retail facilities are not only FMCG chains, but also electronics stores and service providers – all those who seek direct contact with customers in their immediate vicinity.
Expansion also outside Poland
Scallier is also expanding internationally. It is currently investing in Romania, where a chain of retail parks is being developed under the Funshop Park brand.

Planned by the end of 2022.: 6 objects

Total GLA: 40,000 m²
-
Locations: small and medium-sized cities throughout Romania
Summary
Scallier is strengthening its leadership position in the small and medium-sized retail real estate sector, not only in Poland, but also abroad. Consistent implementation of its strategy, local approach and understanding of consumer trends are the foundations of the company’s further growth.
