Building F, the newest addition to Bonarka for Business (B4B) has opened and is the sixth Class A office building in the most popular office complex in Krakow developed by TriGranit. Due to regular increasing demands for new office spaces, the developer TriGranit plans the delivery of further 3 office buildings in the near future.
The eight-storey class A building has 10 000m² of gross leasable area, of which half has been leased even before the official opening. The Building F will host GlobalLogic and Luxoft, global providers of IT services. The building has been certified by BREEAM, which evaluates buildings for their friendliness to the environment and future user comfort and gained very good grade.
The developer of the office complex B4B is TriGranit, one of the largest private companies in the real estate market in Central Europe, specializing in the conversion of post-industrial areas into shopping malls combined with office buildings.
"In Krakow we are seeing very high demand for modern office space. The capital city of Maopolska is willingly chosen by investors from the sector of modern business services, who are looking for high-end office buildings. Every year, the new businesses open their outsourcing centers here and those already operating are expanding their activities and recruit new employees. According to estimates by the end of the year in the ITO/SSC/BPO centers in Krakow will operate 61,000, and in 2020 more than 100,000 employees. Currently, nearly 40% of the offices built for leasing for regional markets is located in Krakow, which shows the enormous potential of this segment. We expect its further development and we want to participate in it", said Tomasz Lisiecki, Chief Investment Officer of TriGranit. Building G will be ready in early 2017 and is already 100% leased by Euroclear, which is operated in Building C.
B4B complex is located in the vicinity of shopping mall Bonarka City Center at the Puszkarska Street, in the area of former chemical facilities.
Ultimately Bonarka for Business will offer 10 office buildings with a total leasable area of 95 000m² with a value of €200 million. In the first stage of construction of the complex, four seven-storey Class A office buildings (Buildings A, B, C, D), were put into service in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The second phase of the project consists of three eight-storey buildings - E (inaugurated in 2015), F and G (scheduled to open in 2017). Construction of another three office buildings H, I and J is planned for the next three years.
