Filling up on the CBD's doorstep

When Wydawnictwa Szkolne i Pedagogniczne, the school publications' leader in Poland, signed a leasing contract for 5,032 sqm at Eurocentrum's Alpha Building in early October, it was claimed as the biggest deal this year on the Warsaw market. It also takes WSiP from the heart of the CBD, to where Al. Jerozolimskie leaves the commercial hub some way behind. "This part of the city is going to be Warsaw's second centre," argues Eftal Köklü, Project Development Coordinator of Eurocentrum, the five-building office and hotel project planned for the stretch of Al. Jerozolimskie between Pl. Zawiszy and Zachodnia train station. The Alpha office building, is the first to have been constructed and is due to become fully operable around December this year. As well as anchor tenant WSiP, who signed for just under half of the building's space of 12,500 sqm., the deals being negotiated at the moment should bring an interesting range of tenants to the building.
