JLL on board for Atrium City

Jones Lang Lasalle (JLL) will serve as exclusive marketing and commercialization advisor of Atrium City, Skanska Property Poland's latest project. Atrium City, located on Al. Jana Pawła, across from the Rondo 1 office building, is an extension of Skanska's Atrium complex, which has a long list of high-profile tenants such as Reuters, King Sturge and Medicover. The complex comprises the Atrium International Business Center, Atrium Tower, Atrium Centrum, Atrium Plaza and the Westin Warsaw hotel.

"Atrium City is the next phase of the Atrium complex, which has become an established business location in the city center. I believe Atrium City will be successful as well," said Bartosz Mierzwiak, associate director in JLL's office agency department.

He also stressed that the office-space supply in the center of the city will be limited for the next two years and that the effects of this were already being felt. According to data from DTZ Research, nearly 63 percent of the office space delivered in H1 of this year was located outside the city center. Mierzwiak also revealed that JLL has already been approached by a number of companies looking to lease space in the new development.

Atrium City will offer a net leasing area of almost 20,000 sqm, which will be delivered in Q1 2009. It will differ from other buildings in the Atrium complex in that it will have an impressive curtain wall on its front faćade. In addition, there will be also lighted atria with glass elevators, while the future tenants could enjoy the flexible, column-free floors.

"I believe this high-quality and prestigious building will attract the most demanding tenants," said Grzegorz Strutyński, regional director of Skanska Property Poland.
