At Liberty to announce ...
Von der Heyden Group (VdH) has negotiated a number of new leases for the Liberty Corner building on ul. Mysia in Warsaw.
Before Christmas, VdH sold its shareholding in Mysia 5, which owns the Liberty Corner building. The buyer was the Luxembourg-based Accession Fund, which is managed by GLL Real Estate Partners.
However, VdH was retained by the fund to arrange for the lease-up of the building within 12 months. The move appears to have paid off, with five new tenants recently signing on the dotted line.
Bombardier Transportation Polska, which specializes in the production of rolling stock and business and regional aircraft, has taken 210 sqm on the second floor. Currently, it operates four production facilities in Poland, in Katowice, Łód, Warsaw and Wrocław. BZ WBK AIB Towarzystwo Funduszy Inwestycyjnych, one of the most well-known investment funds, has also moved into Liberty Corner. The firm, which manages nine funds with total assets of more than zł.7.7 billion, has taken 213 sqm on the first floor.
Spencer Stuart Poland, the Polish subsidiary of the international consulting company, is moving into 290 sqm on the fourth floor. Zara Polska has decided that Liberty Corner is de rigueur, and the fashion retailer will have a new 430-sqm office on the fourth floor.
The final deal was for 722 sqm on the fifth floor, but the only clue as to the tenant is that it operates in the facility management industry.
Liberty Corner has a gross area of 12,400 sqm over eight storeys on ul. Mysia and Bracka. The ground floor houses retail units, and the rest is office space. The building's anchor tenant is Polish Press Agency, and other tenants include the Embassy of Ireland, IVEX, Deutsche Bank and Emerging Europe Investors.
