Samsung leased 21,000 sqm in Warsaw Spire?

Real estate developer Ghelamco has singed a deal with Samsung to lease 21,000 sqm in the Warsaw Spire skyscraper, according to unofficial information gathered by propertynews.pl web portal. Ghelamco has not commented on the news. The deal is to be valid for seven years, the portal also reported. JLL advised the tenant on the deal. “The agreement is the biggest lease transaction on the office market in downtown Warsaw. We are glad to have been able to assist the tenant with respect to this deal, especially since it involves consolidating the company’s R&D functions from three different locations around the city. Our client was looking for a unique and modern building which boasts great location, offers a lot of amenities and allows long-term expansion,” said Karol Patynowski, associate director, Tenant Representation, JLL. The 100,000 sqm building will be half-leased by the end of the year, Ghelamco informed earlier this month. Currently, among the tenants are such firms as: Bilfinger HSG Facility Management, Frontex EU Agency, BNP Paribas Securities Services and Benefit Systems.
