The Polish branch of Hoogwegt Group, one of the world’s leading providers of milk powders, butter fats, and whey products for the dairy market, has signed a 7-year lease for its new headquarters at Yareal’s LIXA office complex near the Daszynski Roundabout in Warsaw. Hoogwegt Poland will occupy nearly 1,000 sqm of office space on the first floor of recently completed office building C, 90 percent of which has now been commercialized. Hoogwegt Group will move into the complex in the spring of next year.
“At Hoogwegt, we are on a mission for constant innovation to provide our customers with better products and improved services. Our Polish branch – which was founded 30 years ago – plays an important role in our international business, and as such, we needed a new, representative office in the heart of Warsaw’s business district. We decided on the LIXA complex as it provides excellent conditions for our team and for the fulfilment of our future goals; including modern office space and well-fitted urban infrastructure – including a well-developed public transportation system, a subway station nearby, parking lots, bicycle paths, and changing rooms with showers for cyclists,” said Maciej Kędzierski, President of the Board of Directors at Hoogwegt Poland Sp. z o.o.
The LIXA complex is Yareal’s largest project to date and building C, which is now nearly fully commercialized, has delivered 20,000 sqm of office space to the Warsaw market.
“So far, we have delivered 48,000 sqm of superbly designed, flexible office space within the LIXA project. We are pleased to welcome another established global player among our tenants. Hoogwegt Poland‘s presence at LIXA confirms that the campus-like office complex is well suited to the needs of major global firms and industry leaders. I am certain that LIXA’s many amenities, such as its green gardens and rich service offer, will ensure the comfort of Hoogwegt’s office employees and contribute to the company’s further successes, both in Poland and across the globe,” commented Marta Zawadzka, Leasing Director, Yareal Polska.
Hoogwegt Poland was aided by consultants from Keystone Real Estate during its negotiations with Yareal.
“Our client, Hoogwegt Poland, was looking for an office that would foster productiveness and support their team in their daily work. A sustainable and safe working environment, coupled with a perfect location and numerous amenities nearby – Yareal’s LIXA complex ticked all the boxes. We are proud to have helped Hoogwegt Poland in the process of finding their new headquarters in Poland,” said Kamil Komoński, Keystone Real Estate.
The LIXA complex is being built in stages near the Daszynski Roundabout in Warsaw’s Wola district. Once complete, this will be one of the largest office complexes in Poland. Its first three office buildings, with a total leasable area of up to 48,000 sqm, have already been commissioned and are almost fully leased. Once the remaining two buildings are completed, LIXA will form a complex of five buildings with a total area of 77,000 sqm.
LIXA was designed by the renowned HRA studio and built in accordance with the requirements and principles of contemporary green building and BREEAM certification. The investment features numerous environmentally friendly solutions that ensure an Excellent BREEAM rating, including the exploitation of low-emission concrete and several hundred tons of recycled aluminium; a reusable material with a negligible carbon footprint. Yareal is also finalizing WELL Health-Safety certification for the LIXA project.
