GTC on home ground

Globe Trade Centre (GTC), a leading developer in the CEE region, plans a new office complex investment in Warsaw's Mokotów district, on a plot between Galeria Mokotów and the recently opened Topaz building. Construction works on Nefryt, a new 15,000-sqm A-class office building, will be lauched before the end of 2006, once the company obtains all the necessary permits. The building is due to open in early 2008.

The new office building will stand on a 7,500-sqm plot, on the corner of ul. Domaniewska and ul. Rodzin Hiszpańskich, close to Mokotów Business Park, which is the largest office complex in the CEE region. "Globe Trade Centre has for 12 years contributed to the development of the Mokotów district, starting in 1994 when we invested more than $300 [zł.936] million in commercial complexes which have become landmarks in Warsaw," says Piotr Kroenke, general director at GTC.

In its design and technological solutions, the seven-storey Nefryt building will resemble the Topaz building, with a raised floor, wooden panels on the front elevation, and winter gardens. The architecture will incorporate a modern combination of glass, steel and timber. The architectural design was prepared by Jems Architekci, which also designed the Topaz project.
