Eiffage said that only top-quality materials will be used in the project, including marble floors, elaborate ceilings, decorative lighting and numerous LCD screens.
Eiffage Construction’s subsidiary Eiffage Polska Budownictwo will carry out the work over a period of 26 months, with 15 months scheduled for constructing the shell.
Twelve cranes will be needed to construct the shopping centre’s stone-faced walls and glass facades.
The company will also create the square in front of the main entry, that will have fountains and lighting effects as a key element of the centre.
Construction work is due to start this spring and is expected to be completed by 2016.
In 2011, the City of Poznan and Apsys Poland signed an annex to the agreement on the exchange of the land, which allowed the company to obtain the building permit for Lacina shopping centre.
Apsys Poland manages 15 shopping centres in Poland and Russia.
