Rafał Sonik, president of Gemini Holding
Rafał Sonik, the head of Gemini Holding and one of the most unconventional personalities on the real estate market, reveals not only some of the secrets behind a successful retail project, but also of the sports challenges he faces
Anna Pakulniewicz, ‘Eurobuild Central & Eastern Europe’: Gemini Holding has been operating on the Polish development market for over 20 years. A few years ago you made the decision to build shopping centres under the Gemini Park brand. Now there are two malls in operation: in Bielsko-Biała and in Tarnów, and one in Tychy is under construction. What are you focusing on at the moment?
Rafał Sonik, president of Gemini Holding: We are currently working intensively on the third stage of the Power Center project in Tychy, which involves the construction of a 36,000 sqm shopping centre. The first two phases have been completed by Tesco, Obi and Saturn, which built facilities with a combined area of 25,000 sqm. We are already seeing a great deal of interest from tenants and we are aware that a shopping centre of such a size is going to be too small to satisfy this. This is excellent news for a developer, right? We will probably increase the area to more than 40,000 sqm. Tim
