GTC has extended its lease agreement with engineer and consulting firm Arup in Krakow’s Korona Office Complex.
The 38,250-square-meter Korona Office Complex is located in the heart of Krakow. The Class A complex consists of four buildings: Pascal, Galileo, Newton, and Edison, each designed according to sustainable urban planning principles, and each possessing the BREEAM In-Use certification at the Excellent level and the “Building Without Barriers” distinction. The complex features electric vehicle charging stations, with energy coming from renewable sources. Tenants also have access to amenities such as a gym, restaurant, caf,e bicycle infrastructure, and a green relaxation zone.
Arup, which operates in 140 countries, offers a range of services for the aviation, energy, real estate, water management, industry, and technology sectors, among others. It has been operating in Poland since 1998, with offices in Warsaw and Krakow.
“Extending the lease agreement with Arup in the Korona Office Complex is an important step for us, highlighting our shared commitment to creating modern office spaces,” said Agnieszka Kuehn, Senior Leasing Manager at GTC. “Arup not only brings rich experience and an innovative approach to the project but also inspires us to further develop practices in line with sustainable development principles.”
Arup recently carried out a significant renovation of its space in the Korona Office Complex, guided by the 3R principle: “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.” As part of this process, furniture was refurbished, and unnecessary items were sold, with half of the furnishings being recycled or second-hand, and carpets and acoustic panels were made from recycled materials. New furniture was upholstered with natural wool fabric, with a design allowing for easy replacement of components and reuse of materials. The arrangement is complemented by over 240 plants.
