To date, Plaza has sold 26 of its shopping centre developments with a total value of around €1.16bn.
President of the firm, Ran Shtarkman, said: "The completion is an important milestone for Plaza.
"The opening of Toru Plaza, on time and within budget, once again demonstrates Plaza's ongoing ability, even in these challenging economic times, to secure attractive locations and favourable project financing and to sign leases with dominant international and local retailers.
"We continue to have confidence in the relative resilience of the Polish market and especially in top-quality retail and leisure assets with a dominant catchment area."
The share price fell 4.26% to 45p by 15:49.
