New Shopping Centre of the Year, Poland
Forum Gdansk is located in a city with a rich history. Owing to the Solidarity movement, Gdansk is seen as the symbol for the beginning of the fall of communism in Central Europe. It is also one of Poland’s most attractive cities, with more than 2 million visitors annually from around the globe. Forum Gdansk is a mixed-use complex that accommodates a modern shopping centre, restaurants, a cinema and public space for cultural events. Located in close vicinity to Gdansk’s Old Town, Forum Gdansk is the main shopping and leisure destination for the Baltic Sea region, as demonstrated by the fact that over one million people visited the centre within the first 3 weeks of it opening. Since its opening in May, Forum Gdansk has become a recognizable benchmark for the Polish and European retail industry owing to the architectural and interior design, tenant mix, successful PR, and last but not least, the footfall and the sales results achieved.

Forum Gdańsk features a diversity of greenery: an ever-blooming bee-friendly garden – the first of its kind in Poland, with beehives and on-site honey production fitting in with the global trend of building ‘cafeterias for pollinators’, hydroponic plant compositions. Commercial initiatives are reinvented, and marketing banners will be turned into bags following fashion recycling trends. Moreover, an EV charging station and a bicycle repair stand encourage our customers to be more eco-friendly.
