It was raining in Kraków when I arrived. I had an appointment in the Galileo office building with my guide Rafał Oprocha of CB Richard Ellis.
I was to wait for him in the lobby but a look through the window of the ground floor canteen made me decide to have an early lunch. The first point scored by Kraków: you can have a better meal in the city's office buildings at a much lower price than in Warsaw. Rafał Oprocha admitted, with
a smile, that the price of
a Kraków lunch would not always buy you a coffee in Warsaw. And as a native citizen of Kraków he knows what he is talking about since he worked in Warsaw for several years.

The Galileo office building, from which I began my Kraków excursion, was constructed by Globe Trade Centre, with some 30 percent of its available 10,000 sqm office space being occupied. The asking rent is 16 dollars/sqm. Further GTC office investments in Kraków depend on progress in rent
