The three-storey complex, which has a total area of 162,000 square metres and is located at the junction of Katowicka and Archbishop Antoni Baraniak streets, overlooks the Malta Lake along with the leisure areas surrounding it. Galeria Malta offers its space to 170 shops and service shops, a Multikino multiplex cinema and a fitness club and has been surrounded with new green areas, providing space for rest and relaxation. The interesting architectural solutions of the complex include a suspended pedestrian and bicycle footbridge.
The Diamante Plaza office building, property of Aldesa Polska located at Dekerta street in Krakow, is one of the first office developments in Krakow's Zabłocie district. It is a four-storey A-class office building with approx. 10,000 square metres of modern office and commercial space, whose tenants can use two conference rooms for 16 audience each and a lunch bar. The building's total area is 19,785 square metres, 6,754 of which is its underground part, including a two-level 193-vehicle car park.
