MARKET
Łódź is Poland’s fourth-largest city and a rapidly developing business hub. Its international airport and strategic location at the intersection of the A1 and A2 motorways make the region an excellent place for a company headquarters or branch, a situation further enhanced by ongoing railway investments. Łódź is also home to renowned universities, including the Łódź University of Technology, which provide qualified, talented staff to regional companies – approximately 70,000 students study in the city each year.
The high human potential makes the capital of the Łódź Voivodeship an excellent base for key economic sectors such as TSL (Transport, Shipping, Logistics), BSS (Business Support Services), and IT, while the exemplary special economic zone increases investment profitability.

LIFESTYLE
Łódź is an example of spectacular revitalization. The quarter-century-long process of urban transformation has changed its character, and the changes are visible at first glance. The implementation of modern urban concepts, the restoration of historic buildings in the city center and Księży Młyn, and finally, the construction of the New Center of Łódź, focused around the completely rebuilt Łódź Fabryczna railway station, have significantly increased the city’s attractiveness to residents, tourists, and investors. What does the city have to offer?
Łódź is home to many acclaimed festivals and attractive sporting events, and events such as Audioriver, Łódź Summer Festival, and Great September have firmly established themselves in the Polish cultural calendar.
Diverse restaurants representing various cuisines from around the world (including those with Michelin Selected and Bib Gourmand distinctions), atmospheric cafes, artisanal bakeries, and patisseries allow you to discover new trends and flavors without leaving the city.
Public institutions and private initiatives ensure that the city buzzes with life all year round.
High-potential industries, branches of international corporations, and development opportunities provided by the special economic zone create entirely new possibilities – and wages are catching up with those in other major Polish cities.

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY
The city’s revitalization process is slowly nearing completion, and this is the last moment to acquire an attractive property in a desirable location from the primary market. Łódź remains attractive to investors – prices in certain segments are still lower by even several dozen percent compared to similar investments in other leading urban centers. A significant advantage remains the distinctly higher annual return on capital, which surpasses the profitability achievable in the markets of Warsaw, Krakow, Wrocław, or Gdańsk by up to one-third.
HERITAGE
Księży Młyn, the historic seat of industrialist Karol Scheibler’s textile empire, has undergone an impressive metamorphosis over the past two decades. The post-industrial areas with historic buildings of characteristic red brick have gained entirely new functions: apartments, lofts, and flats, office spaces, retail and service premises, restaurants, cafes, and cultural institutions have been created here.

An excellent location in the city center, attractive recreational areas within a short walk, abundant greenery, and excellent connectivity to the rest of the city make Księży Młyn a good place to live, conduct business, and invest.
HERITAGE
This historic part of the city is one of Łódź’s symbols and a model example of the aspirations, ambitions, and vision of its residents, so it’s no surprise that it also gains recognition among tourists. The popular ‘Cat’s Trail’ is a picturesque walking route that leads between historic buildings and new investments, allowing visitors to learn more about the extraordinary history of this place. A rich cultural offer (the cyclical Księży Młyn Station, Herbst Palace, Museum of Cinematography, Central Museum of Textiles) allows one to pleasantly spend time and view the surrounding red brick from a completely new perspective.

HERITAGE
The prestige of the district is also built by the legendary ‘Łódź Film School,’ the Leon Schiller National Film, Television and Theatre School in Łódź, which has educated generations of important figures in world and Polish cinema over the past eight decades. Graduates of the university regularly receive prestigious awards and work on major film productions, including: Andrzej Wajda, Krzysztof Kieślowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, Janusz Gajos, Kazimierz Kutz, Jerzy Skolimowski, Małgorzata Szumowska, Wojciech Smarzowski, and Marek Koterski.

Nowa Tkalnia is the last revitalization project of this scale in Księży Młyn. The multifunctional estate will be built on the site of Karol Scheibler’s historic Weaving Mill, constructed at the end of the 19th century. The 5-hectare plot located between Kilińskiego, Tymienieckiego, and Milionowa streets is the last ‘puzzle piece’ on the famous ‘Cat’s Trail,’ which will complete the transformation process of this historic district.
The investment is backed by an experienced developer who has already carried out revitalization projects in the Łódź market, and a powerful, international capital group known for ambitious projects worldwide, with recognized, award-winning architectural firms responsible for the spatial concept.
ARCHITECTURE
Łódź is home to many acclaimed festivals and attractive sporting events, and events such as Audioriver, Łódź Summer Festival, and Great September have firmly established themselves in the Polish cultural calendar.
The historic walls on Miilonowa Street will be incorporated into the facades of the new residential buildings, giving them a unique character.
Nowa Tkalnia will be an estate open to the city, and the plot will feature an extensive park with a playground and a total of over 20,000 m2 of attractive public spaces, including the central Włókniarek Passage allowing free movement between the historic buildings.
The restored gatehouse and the historic factory gate received a prestigious nomination in the third edition of the RenOwacje competition.
