Da Grasso, the largest franchise pizza restaurant chain in Poland, is opening a new chapter in its history by relocating its head office to Green Horizon in Łódź. This strategic move to nearly 1,200 sqm is designed to accommodate the needs of the rapidly growing organisation and to create an inspiring place for its team. Globalworth, the owner of the office building, was advised on the lease transaction by global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield, the leasing agent for the property.
Founded in Łódź more than 25 years ago, Da Grasso is a Polish company that blends traditional recipes with an innovative approach to management and franchising. The relocation of the head office to Green Horizon marks another milestone in the company’s rapid growth as it continues to look for new opportunities and solutions to support its team.
"The relocation decision was driven by our need to create a space that aligns with the contemporary challenges our team is facing and enables us to achieve our growth ambitions. Green Horizon impressed us with its functionality and openness to modern solutions. We are planning to set up an inspiration kitchen for our employees to develop new ideas together,” comments Magdalena Piróg, CEO, Da Grasso Sp. z o. o.
Green Horizon is one of the most modern office buildings in Łódź, located near Rondo Solidarności and ul. Pomorska, just a short distance from the city centre. The six-storey building offers 35,500 sqm of office space and enjoys excellent connectivity to the rest of the city via robust public transport and cycling infrastructure, as well as its proximity to a motorway and Łódź Fabryczna railway station. Office users have access to a variety of amenities highly valued by employees, including restaurants, a kindergarten, a crèche, a grocery store and a medical centre. The complex also provides a convenient car park and dedicated end-of-trip cycling facilities.
"Da Grasso’s decision to move its head office to Green Horizon is a source of great satisfaction for us, especially given the many office options available in the market. Its choice highlights the building’s high quality and functionality that cater to the needs of modern companies prioritising a comfortable work environment. This transaction is especially important to us because Da Grasso decided to move after many years at its previous location. This significant step involved not only expanding office space but also introducing new features to better support employees. The choice of this office aligns with the company’s strategic growth vision, reflecting its impressive journey from a small local business to a large-scale operation,” comments Anna Szurek, Senior Negotiator, Cushman & Wakefield.
Green Horizon was designed with eco-friendly solutions that continue to evolve. It features an energy-efficient lighting system, an advanced air-conditioning system that draws in cool outside air, and electric vehicle charging stations. The building has received various certifications in recognition of its high standards, including LEED Gold, BREEAM In-Use v6 with an Excellent rating, and WELL Health & Safety 2022. It has also earned the Building without Barriers certification for its accessibility and user-friendliness.
"We are pleased to welcome Da Grasso as a valued member of our tenant community and sincerely appreciate its trust. Green Horizon is recognised as a modern space that helps employers provide comfortable, safe and functional working conditions. It offers a range of unique advantages and attractive solutions, from well-lit office spaces with stunning views, through to multiple amenities and access to restricted areas using the Globalworth building and car park app. I am confident that the work environment in our building will support Da Grasso in implementing its long-term plans,” says Marcin Dondalski, Asset Management & Leasing Manager, Globalworth Poland.
