About this mall
Blue City is the last independently-owned dominant shopping center in Warsaw. Blue City is the only dominant Warsaw shopping center which is independently-owned. The current owners have developed and managed this center for the last 12 years. It was the first mega lifestyle shopping center erected in Warsaw, hence it has been given the name of ‘the city within a city’ due to its size.
The center is situated in southwest Warsaw, about 3 km from the main business area in Ochota District. This is the most highly populated borough within the city. It is placed in a favorable position, with high visibility at the entrance to the Jerozolimskie Corridor.
Blue City can be found at 179 Jerozolimskie Avenue, along one of the main transportation routes in Warsaw, which connects to the other suburbs and districts in the area. The mall has two main entrances to its retail component. The one is off Jerozolimskie Avenue and the other off Opaczewska Street. There are also two entrances to the office portion, which are both off Jerozolimskie Avenue. The center is serviced by 14 bus routes.
The food court and the retail sections of the center are based on levels -1, 0, +1 and +2, and the leisure and entertainment sections on levels +3 and +4.
The office space is located in three sections within the center and covers four floors. Blue Office I and II are located on either side of the structure on levels +2, +3,+4 and +5, while Blue III, which is entirely leased by Deutsche Bank, can be found on level +2.
The focal point of the center is a water fountain which is 26 meters high and decorated with 2 million mosaic tiles. There is a public space which surrounds it where artistic events, concerts, and fairs are held.
