The general contractor for the KREO office building in Krakow being developed by Ghelamco will be Mota-Engil Central Europe. KREO is the third office development project, after Craft in Katowice and The Bridge in Warsaw, announced by Ghelamco between 2020 and 2021.
KREO, a modern building offering 24,100 sqm of office space, which is being constructed at 12 Wadowicka Street, is Ghelamco’s second project in Krakow, after .big.
“KREO is a combination of two words: Kraków and creativity. The name perfectly reflects the potential of Kraków and its inhabitants. The building is being erected in a changing part of the city, well connected to the centre. We are glad that once again we can offer our tenants a modern project,” says Jarosław Zagórski, Commercial and Development Director at Ghelamco Poland.
KREO is an investment designed by the Krakow-based architectural studio Q-arch. The office building will stand out with elegant architecture and unusual solutions. It is being built on the site of the former Elbud office building, but its architecture refers to its predecessor. It will offer its tenants easy-to-arrange offices (with a floor area of over 2,700 sqm). All users of the office building will have a roof terrace at their disposal with an excellent view of the panorama of Krakow.
A great advantage of the project is its location, which allows easy and quick access to the very centre. KREO’s location encourages the use of public transport and bicycles – it takes no more than 10 minutes to reach the Old Town. Balice airport can be reached in 25 minutes by car.
The building itself will include bicycle parking spaces with showers and lockers. For car users, the building will offer 301 parking spaces in an underground garage and an additional 24 spaces in front of the office building. The building also includes five electric car charging stations. KREO will be BREEAM certified.
The planned completion date is 2023.
