Marywilska 44 is an indoor marketplace in Warsaw, Poland, located at 44 Marywilska Street in the district of Białołęka. It was opened in 2010, becoming one of the largest shopping centres in Warsaw. In May 2024 a fire destroyed majority of the marketplace.

History

It was opened in 2010, and owned by the company group Mirbud. It included a shopping centre with an area of 62,100 m, and an indoor market with an area of 12,100 m. In total, it has an area of 80,000 m, and included 1400 stores and services.

On 12 May 2024 around 3:30 a fire broke out in the eastern building, resulting in a complete destruction of the facility. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A large portion of vendors at Marywilska 44 comes from the Vietnamese-Polish community, relocated there after 10th-Anniversary Stadium marketplace has been closed and demolished in preparation for Kazimierz Górski National Stadium construction. The May 2024 fire not only deprived business owners of income, but often destroyed a large portion of cash belonging to their families, kept in safeboxes at the site due to obstacles migrants face in creating bank accounts. The owner of Marywilska 44 promised to provide in early August 2024 a temporary area for vendors, consisting of 800 intermodal containers. By October only 400 boxes were provided and, in light of the earlier conflict with Marywilska 44 owner, vendors set up an alternative shopping center, "Modlińska 6D", about 3 km to the south. The location offers additional 250 stalls.
