Mokotów Business Park located between two major intersections in Mokotow, enjoys a convenient location between the city center and Okêcie International Airport, with easy access to public transportation and ample parking. A wide range of services are available on-site (banks, restaurants, medical center, pharmacy, post office and many other amenities) in addition to shopping and service facilities in Galeria Mokotow which stands adjacent. It is for these reasons that the business park has attracted renowned tenants, including some of the largest international corporations.
Development of MBP started in 1995 and was GTC's first investment.
The sale of Mokotów Business Park is part of GTC's strategy to further diversify its property portfolio both in terms of sector, geographical spread and maturity of assets.
