The envy of the business
FeatureT-Mobile has leased 27,000 sqm of office space - in one project! This is the biggest transaction on the market in the last few months and could easily turn out to be the largest of 2012. Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa (the operator of the T-Mobile network) has chosen a Ghelamco building that does not exist yet. The project is being developed at ul. Marynarska 12 in Warsaw. Ghelamco itself is not commenting on the matter, as it is under contractual confidentiality. The T-Mobile deal is not the only transaction that Jarosław Zagórski, the commercial and business development director of Ghelamco Poland, can be proud of. In the last few months Ghelamco has secured a number of other significant leases, including one with PKN Orlen (9,000 sqm in Senator in Warsaw), and is also to build an office for Netia. The developer has signed leases for a combined area of more than 30,000 sqm since the beginning of the year.

Later I was employed by Healey & Baker Polska, which eventually changed its name to
