When we visited the Wola Park construction site on 21st August, there were
hundreds of workers hurrying in and around the building and the marketing office
was extremely busy. Everything needed to be ready for 18th September, when
Warsaw's biggest retail centre officially opens.
It wasn't just the construction site that was hectic. In the sunshine and
heat, several dozen workers were also toiling away to widen ul. Górczewska
which leads to Wola Park, and much was still left to be done: "Don't worry, they
will certainly make it on time. They promised us", assured Sean
Briggs of CERPF adding that Gazeta Wyborcza had been far too
pessimistic, when they wrote, "The work on ul. Górczewska will certainly not be
complete before the Wola Park retail giant opens. Chaos can be expected
there at the beginning of September...".
Despite the uncertain road situation, it was clear who the new tenants for
ninety per cent of the space would be.
