Kliwer office building enters the market

The Kliwer office building in the Warsaw district of Mokotów will be offering 5,300 sqm office space in the second quarter of 2004. "Przyorle" the developer of the class B+ building is asking 18 dollars/sqm as rent and 3.5 dollars/sqm of service charge. It hopes it will attracts tenants due to 2 percent of common space. Kliwer's strong points are its location at Wilanowska underground station and in a cost-free parking zone, as well as the natural light entering all premises in the building. Knight Frank represents the owner.
