Altium to establish operations in Poland and move into Silesia Business Park – EuropaProperty

Altium, an Australian owned international IT company, will launch its first office in Poland. The company selected Silesia Business Park office complex in Katowice for its Poland-based operations. Altium has leased nearly 770 sqm of office space in the complex developed by Skanska Property Poland.

“Silesia Business Park is becoming a place where numerous international players have placed their trust in Katowice by leasing space in the city. A number of international companies from the IT industry, a consulting firm and a well-known distributor from the FCMG branch will be located in one complex. The selection of Poland and Katowice by Altium illustrates the city’s increasing importance in the IT sector,” said Tomasz Zydorek, leasing negotiator at Skanska Property Poland.

Silesia Business Park complex, called the “tiramisu” by the city’s residents, because of its façade of black, gold and brown stripes, is three aesthetically pleasing office buildings – out of the four planned – located in close proximity to the city centre. The reduction in the number of pillars used in the buildings’ construction allows for the office space to enjoy increased natural daylight as well as flexibility in office arrangement. The building’s efficient air conditioning is also an important factor, allowing tenants to ramp up operations without it having a detrimental effect on employee comfort. All of these factors are important in today’s fierce competition for specialists who are increasingly looking for innovative, flexible and comfortable working conditions.

After the Altium move, building B of Silesia Business Park will be 82 percent commercialized. Construction works on building C are well underway, with their finish scheduled for Q4 2016.
