Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has been appointed as sole letting agent for three buildings of Krakow’s Equal Business Park, owned by funds managed by Apollo-Rida. This modern office complex offers approximately 15,000 sqm of Class A office space available for lease in a prime location.
The key strengths of Equal Business Park are its prime location in ul. Wielicka in Krakow’s Podgórze district and the excellent infrastructure both within and around the complex. The three buildings in Apollo-Rida’s portfolio have a combined area of 49,500 sqm of office and service space. Currently, 15,000 sqm is available for lease, with unit sizes ranging from 120 sqm for offices or services to 3,400 sqm for office use. The complex’s distinctive glass design has garnered numerous awards. In 2016, Building B was named the “Best Office Building in Krakow” in the Atut Krakowa contest, organised by the City Hall. Two years later, it received an accolade for its architectural design in the Property Design Awards 2018, further underscoring its high quality and unique design. The entire complex holds a BREEAM Excellent certification, reflecting the high standard of its eco-friendly and functional solutions, such as the use of green energy or cutting-edge technologies for optimising temperature and water consumption. As a result, the park has attracted many renowned tenants committed to fostering employee-friendly and accessible work environments, while offering an appealing location for clients and business partners.
"The office buildings of Equal Business Park offer an inspiring work environment that seamlessly integrates with its green surroundings. Featuring modern fit-outs, innovative eco-friendly solutions and flexible space arrangements, the offices at Equal Business Park are perfectly tailored to meet today’s needs of companies. The complex continues to grow, focusing on enhancing functionality and improving the quality of life for its users. A carefully curated mix of services within the commercial zone, coupled with ample green spaces, contributes to creating a sustainable urban fabric and fostering integration with the local community. Relaxation and break-out areas underscore Apollo-Rida’s dedication to tenant health and wellbeing, while environmental sustainability remains a top priority for the company,” explains Ewelina Pietras, Negotiator, Office Department, Cushman & Wakefield.
In addition to providing comfortable office spaces, the complex also offers tenants underground parking spaces and comprehensive infrastructure for cyclists. An added advantage is its diverse range of on-site services, which include a canteen, a bookshop, a kindergarten, a beauty salon, a café and a retail store. These amenities are complemented by thoughtfully designed green areas with landscaping and artistic features creating space that encourages relaxation and social integration.
"Equal Business Park is one of the most attractive office parks in Krakow - it boasts a prime location, fine quality spaces and a comprehensive suite of services, making it an ideal choice for companies that value both prestige and a comfortable work environment. We recognise that the needs of organisations have been changing at a fast pace in recent years. Tenants increasingly value high-quality buildings that are maintained in good technical condition and provide access to green spaces. This is why we continue to invest in upgrading our complex to provide our clients with space that meets the highest standards and responds to contemporary business challenges. The recent transformation of the passageway between Buildings B and C represents another step in this direction. To ensure a positive tenant experience, we have partnered with the reputable firm Cushman & Wakefield for the recommercialisation of the park. Additionally, Apollo-Rida, as the manager, places significant emphasis on the social aspects of working at Equal Business Park. This commitment encompasses organising monthly events as part of Equal’s Days. These regular initiatives are designed to bring tenants together, promote wellbeing and human interaction in the workplace. As part of Equal’s Days, tenants can take part in a wide range of activities, including yoga classes, bicycle repair, creative festive workshops, self-defence courses, as well as themed events such as Children’s Day and other seasonal attractions. This approach transforms Equal Business Park into more than just an office space - it is a place that fosters integration, activity and mutual growth," comments Magdalena Sarnowska-Bryja, Senior Asset Manager, Apollo-Rida Poland.
