Vastint Poland has signed a lease agreement with the current tenant, GSK Services, in Business Garden Poznan. Due to its dynamic expansion of operations, the company – a subsidiary of an international pharmaceutical group – rented an additional 5,100 m² of office space, comprising three floors. In total, the company’s operations will occupy 6,800 m².
Business Garden Poznan is a modern complex that consists of nine A-class office buildings with a total leasable area of 88,000 m2, located on a 6-hectare plot in Poznan, Poland.
Characterized by its low buildings, the campus consists of spacious green areas, including a carefully designed garden for the pleasure of employees and residents of the city. Relaxation zones on the premises help visitors create a meditative atmosphere, or allows them to easily engage in outdoor sports activities. Business Garden offers extensive, state-of-the-art infrastructure for cyclists, and a wide range of facilities for tenants, including a canteen, a kindergarten, a medical facility, and a first-class fitness club.
Key architectural and technical solutions implemented in the buildings, particularly in the reduction of water use and energy consumption, and in the control of the internal environment, meet or exceed the requirements of the highest level of LEED certification.

Vastint Poland has presented a conceptual design for the Nova Silesia hotel and office complex to be developed in the centre of Katowice at the site of the former Silesia hotel, built in 1970s. The project will consist of two 14-storey office buildings, a 7-storey hotel, and an underground parking garage. The buildings will provide approx. 30,000 m2 of high-class office space in the very centre of town, and 150 convenient hotel rooms.
Roger Andersson, Managing Director, Vastint Poland: ”We completed the design work related to the project. The Silesia hotel, now closed for 13 years, will be replaced by a multifunctional building complex that will generate increased traffic and life in this part of the city. Nova Silesia will significantly add to the existing volume of modern office space, and thereby increase Katowice’s competitiveness in seeking investors compared with other regional towns.”
On a plot more than 9,000 m2 at Ks. Piotra Skargi Street in Katowice, a hotel of approx. 5,000 m2and two office buildings with an area of 30,000 m2 will be developed. In accordance with the requirements of city zoning regulations, a minimum of 70% of the building’s ground-floors will be designated for public services. The hotel itself, with extended open meeting spaces and a bar on the ground-floor, will be open 24 hours a day.
The exterior of the buildings reflects their character: simple, repeated elements, materials of the highest quality, close attention to detail. Nova Silesia will constitute an elegant portion of the western wall of Katowice Town Square. The design of the buildings was carried out by APA Wojciechowski, with offices in Warsaw and the Tri-City.
Rafał Kociatkiewicz, Project Manager, Vastint Poland: “Construction of the office buildings will consist of precast elements of reinforced concrete, the facade itself conceived as a modern elemental facade. On the one hand, such technology imposes certain limits related to the building’s spatial form, both functional and aesthetic. On the other hand, however, it can provide a solid framework for the creation of buildings that are thoughtful and beautiful in their simplicity. In addition to that, one important aspect of such facades is the speed and accuracy with which they are assembled, and the fact that it requires a relatively small construction site to complete the task, which, in cases with city-centre locations, is of particular importance.
All three buildings will be constructed in accordance with principles of sustainable development, and will be certified according to international standards of energy-efficient buildings. LEED Gold certification and, in parallel, an equivalent certificate granted by WELL Building Institute to confirm that the buildings meet all international energy-efficiency standards.
The greatest advantage of the project is its remarkable location in the very centre of Katowice. The site is located at the intersection of Katowice’s main pedestrian walkways: one leading from the main railway station to Spodek Arena and Katowicka Strefa Kultury (Katowice Culture Zone), and the other which connects the Old Town and the University of Silesia, with its vital public transport hubs near the Supersam shopping centre.
From the outset of the design work, great emphasis has been given to the project’s integration with the surrounding urban landscape. The buildings were arranged in such manner that guarantees the free movement of pedestrians throughout the site. Between the buildings and Supersam, there will be a public pedestrian passageway, and at the centre of the complex, a public square with lots of green space to function as a rest-zone for the project’s occupants and pedestrians. The area in the immediate vicinity of the buildings will be levelled, without perimeters or barriers that might impede the movement of persons with reduced mobility – the disabled and the elderly.
Vehicular traffic at the site will be reduced to the bare minimum. Except for a small driveway to accommodate the bus, and a few spaces in front of the hotel, all parking areas will be located in the underground parking garage. The office building will have a 2-storey parking garage which will be available for use by Katowice’s residents on non-working days. An additional small car park for hotel guests will allow further minimizing of vehicular traffic related to the needs of hotel personnel near the intersection of Skargi and Wincklera Streets.
The investment project will connect to the existing bicycle infrastructure of Katowice thanks to its close proximity to the bicycle path that runs along ul. Winckler, with convenient access to Rawa River boulevards, the neighbouring areas in the northern portion of the plot. The number of bicycle racks planned in the project aligns with new standards from 2018 to shape the cycling infrastructure of the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis.

Vastint Poland has signed a contract with CFE Polska to execute and coordinate the construction of an office building with the leasable area of 11,400 m2 at 2 Kielecka Street in Gdynia. Ground breaking will begin at the start of the new year. The project is planned to be completed by mid-2022.
The most advantageous aspect of the project is its location. With convenient access to public transport services and to a number of important amenities, future employees will be able to effectively plan their days. The office building, which will bear the name “K2”, will be erected at the intersection of Kielecka Street and one of the main communication arteries in Gdynia – Śląska Street. Located nearby, the Fast Urban Railway station, St. Maximilian’s Hill, the bus terminus, and the Riviera shopping centre are all within walking distance.
The six-storey building’s form, architectural expression, and details refer to the architectural tradition of modernism. The modular, repetitive facade consists of white, curved profiles which make reference to the sails and ship architecture popular in Gdynia in the 1930s, otherwise known as the “Streamline Style.”
The lowest floor of the building will house a modern designed reception. Undoubtedly, the stylish lobby, with its informal and comfortable areas intended for cooperation and meetings, will be the project’s crowning feature. The two-story underground parking has been designed for 136 cars, while cyclists will have bicycle racks outside the building and changing rooms with showers in the garage.
The materials and technical solutions used ensure an above-average standard of office space. In addition, they will allow to achieve increased efficiency in terms of reduction of energy and water consumption as well as air quality control. The project will meet the LEED environmental certification requirements.
Maciej Kandybowicz, Leasing Manager at Vastint Poland, says: “The design of K2 was created in cooperation with the architectural studio APA Wojciechowski in Gdynia. During the design process, we primarily focused on the comfort of our tenants. The expected architectural standard was achieved thanks to a modern design, a well thought out plan for individual floors, and solutions that ensure a friendly and healthy work environment.”
