What ab-development sp. z o.o. does

AB Development Sp. z o.o. is a family-owned Polish commercial real estate company that invests in, develops, and manages thematic shopping centers dedicated exclusively to home and interior furnishings. Founded in 2007, the group owns and operates two flagship properties: Galeria Wnętrz Home Concept, a large-format interior design shopping center located at Al. Jerozolimskie 185 in Warsaw, and Home Concept Design Park, a modern interior arrangement park in Katowice that combines indoor retail with outdoor display areas in eco-responsibly developed surroundings. The company is organized through three legal entities — AB DEVELOPMENT Sp. z o.o. as the parent, with AB Sp. z o.o. Ochota sp.k. and AB/Development sp. z o.o. Dąbrówka sp.k. as the property-holding operating subsidiaries for the Warsaw and Katowice sites respectively.

The company's revenue model is built on retail property leasing and property management services. AB Development leases commercial space within its shopping centers to retailers and brands specializing in furniture, home décor, and interior design products, generating recurring rental income. The firm also performs active investment and development activities including modernization, expansion, and ongoing administration of its owned properties. Commercialization is handled through a dedicated sales-led team, with Piotr Borkowski responsible for tenant acquisition and lease negotiations and Michał Jakóbczak leading marketing. Distribution is exclusively physical, via the two owned retail destinations, which serve both end consumers shopping for home furnishings and B2B tenants operating retail storefronts within the centers.

The company serves a dual customer base: end consumers (homeowners and residential buyers seeking curated home furnishings and interior design products) and business customers (home furnishing retailers leasing space in the centers). Its geographic footprint is concentrated in two Polish metropolitan markets — Masovian and Silesian voivodeships. AB Development is currently expanding the Home Concept Design Park in Katowice, representing its principal growth initiative. The firm operates without external investors or disclosed funding, maintaining a private, family-controlled structure with traditions in retail property development.
