"The new Resident is always a great joy, especially since Gdansk has been a historic center of grain trade for hundreds of years, and Viterra Poland is a leader in the sale of not only grains, but also oilseeds, legumes, sugar, rice, cotton, vegetable oils and biodiesel," stresses Maciej Kotarski of Olivia Centre.
Viterra handles 1.5 million tons of cargo at ports annually, exports 2 million tons by land, and has ten of its own storage locations and elevators in Poland, allowing it to store 350,000 tons. The company also has its own production of vegetable oils. The office on the 14th floor of Olivia Prime provides stunning panoramic views of the Gdansk Bay, Gdynia's Orlowo cliffs, the sailing marina in Sopot and the green Tri-City Landscape Park surrounding Olivia. The unit encompasses an area of more than 1,400 sq m and a private terrace on the 15th floor, equipped with lounge furniture, deck chairs and greenery.
"Viterra, as a plant trade company, is a perfect fit for Olivia Prime, whose interiors were designed by architectural firm Design Anatomy in the spirit of biophilic design, combined with the power art trend: Olivia Prime is a unique building in every respect," says Maciej Kotarski. "We put great emphasis on its users' contact with nature and natural materials. Extensive terraces, filled with vegetation, frequently appearing wood and greenery suspended from the ceilings make an incredible impression in an ultra-modern office building."
The elevator interiors at Olivia Prime are also surprising, lined with fragrant natural wood, providing an unparalleled experience for all visitors to the facility. The building is imbued with art: murals in all the lobbies, walls designed like paintings, and screens in the main lobby - vertical structures that move in multiple planes.
"The combination of the biophilic trend and power art allows us to fill two needs. The first is harmony of spirit and a sense of contact with nature through soft furniture, plants and natural materials in the spirit of biophilic design. The second is the need for strength and energy, providing users with a place that fills them with good energy. The entrance to work is supposed to make us smile, energize us, make us feel a surge of power and make us want to act."
Olivia Prime is one of only four buildings in Poland with an all-glass triple-glazed facade that provides the best possible lighting in autumn and winter. This allows for better well-being of employees. In spring and summer, the facade prevents overheating, providing thermal comfort even on very sunny days, and in the winter and autumn months it allows much greater access to daylight.
Viterra is not the first food company to open offices at Olivia Centre. Previously, Paula Fish, which employs more than 800 people and is one of Europe's market leaders in fish processing and a pioneer in ecology and sustainability, found its place there. The company's main development goal in the coming months is to achieve climate neutrality and use sustainable fishing methods and an eco-friendly vehicle fleet.
Also, Polish Agro, a company specializing in the trade of fertilizers, crop protection products, as well as seeds and crops, has its offices in Olivia Centre. The company is part of the DAVA Agravis International A/S group, whose members are agricultural market leaders in their respective countries and operate mainly in the Baltic Sea region.
