Eurocentrum signs anchor tenant

Wydawnictwa Szkolne i Pedagogiczne, a leading publisher of school materials in Poland, has signed a contract to become Alpha Tower's anchor tenant. The class A building on Ale Jerozolimskie 124/138, Warsaw, is the first in the Eurocentrum complex, which consists of four office towers and by 2004, the four star Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The contract, signed with developer 8 Star Sp, is for the lease of 5,032 sqm of office and retail space, meaning that 40% is now leased of Alpha's total 12,500 sqm, which consists of twenty-one levels, including three for retail and services and three levels of underground parking for 210 spaces.
Anna Sarnecka of Lambert Smith Hampton, co-agent for the Eurocentrum complex said of the deal, ,as an agency who have only been on the market since January 2002, finalising a transaction for such space is a great success. This is the biggest deal on the Warsaw market this year."
