Owned by GRT Group, the building was completed in 2010 as second of five Office Garden buildings. Located in District IX, Office Garden II is currently almost completely leased out. Recently, the building's developer conducted a survey among its tenants to find out that the majority of Office Graden II users now travel to work using alternative means of transport, such as bicycles or car-sharing. „We were so pleased with the results of the survey, because this factor also contributes to the reduction of the environmental load,” said Ignác Torma, the managing director of GRT Group.
