A breath-taking development

Developer Echo Investment has laid the cornerstone for the Oxygen office building that it is developing in the northwestern city of Szczecin. The company also used the occasion to present further details about its new project.

Designed by the Gdynia-based Arch-Deco architectural studio and located at the intersection of ul. Malczewskiego and Al. Wyzwolenia in the city center, Oxygen will be a nine-storey, class-A office building that will accommodate a total of approximately 14,000 sqm of leasable space. The project's office space will be offered in an open-plan convention in order to provide its future tenants with numerous arrangement opportunities.

The building will be equipped with advanced technological solutions, including high-quality telecommunication and IT connections as well as safety, access control and monitoring systems. Oxygen will also feature both above-ground and underground parking space.

"With modern and advanced technologies applied in the facilities, the building conforms to the most stringent contemporary standards, including requirements of IT and telecommunication companies," said Rafał Mazurczak, director of the office commercialization department at Echo Investment. "Tenants of the building will be offered an opportunity to use such facilities as a medical center, a coffee bar and a newsstand. Bank outlets are also envisaged in the building," added Wojciech Knawa, leasing manager at the company.

The Oxygen building is scheduled for completion at the turn of 2009/2010. Apart from this project, Echo Investment's office pipeline includes the Park Postępu and Malta Office complexes in Warsaw and Poznań, respectively, and the Aurus office building in Łódź. The company is also preparing new office projects in Gdańsk, Kraków, Katowice and Budapest.
