Third time on top

Galeria Echo in Kielce has been winning prizes and honourable mentions since its re-opening after extensive reconstruction work in 2011. That year it won an international award – Best Redeveloped Shopping Centre at the MAPIC Awards. A year later the building received the recognition of the Polish Council of Shopping Centres for the changes carried out during its redevelopment. In 2013 the centre scooped up two more awards: the Best Shopping Centre in Poland in the tenants’ vote at the Eurobuild Awards 2013 and the Consumers’ Golden Laurel 2013, which is decided in a poll of shoppers. In 2014, for the second year running representatives of its developer, Echo Investment, were on the podium once again at the Eurobuild Awards Gala to receive the statuette for the award voted on by shopping centre tenants. Another year passed and in 2015 Galeria Echo again came out triumphant at the Eurobuild Awards. However, by this time the mall had a new owner: Echo Polska Properties.
