GTC's airport connection

Globe Trade Center (GTC), one of the biggest developers in Central Eastern Europe, is developing a large office complex in the vicinity of Warsaw's Chopin international airport. The complex, called Okęcie Business Park, will be located on ul. 17 Stycznia, approximately 500 meters from the airport's runway.

Designed by the APAKA architectural studio, Okęcie Business Park will comprise six seven-storey buildings and is expected to deliver around 50,000 sqm of usable office space. The buildings will stand in two rows facing an inner courtyard with ample greenery. The complex will feature a central control and monitoring system and is designed with the disabled in mind.

"In designing [the buildings] it was important for us to respond to the investor's intention of realizing - through an optimal utilization of the location in a developing part of the city - the concept of an office complex that would have architectural, functional, aesthetic and quality assets, and which would correspond with the standard and scale of the neighboring office buildings," said Tomasz Gientka, head of the design team at APAKA.

The complex is being developed in stages and the first building has already been completed. The second is currently in shell-and-core condition. When delivered to the market, GTC hopes that Okęcie Business Park will set a trend of firms locating business activity in close proximity to the capital's airport.

GTC has been active in Poland since 1994 and entered the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2004. In Warsaw, the company has completed investments such as Galeria Mokotów and Mokotów Business Park. Apart from Okęcie Business Park, GTC's other Warsaw projects under construction include Platinium Business Park and the Nefryt office building in Mokotów.
