Axa signs ten-year renewal in WTT

Office & mixed-use development
POLAND Insurance company Axa has renewed its lease of around 13,000 sqm in the Warsaw Trade Tower office building in Warsaw’s Wola district till 2030.

Globalworth, the owner of the building, was represented by Colliers International, while Axa was represented by Cushman & Wakefield. “Although we considered other buildings, we eventually came to the conclusion that the best decision would be to remain where we were. However, we are going to change the office space redesigning it as an activity based workplace. This means that we are going to create spaces that won’t have designated desks but will be designed to serve particular uses. The office will be supported by an IT system that will allow employees to work independently, in teams on site or at home,” says Agata Jach, the member of the board responsible for HR and administration at Axa.

The 42-storey building has 45,400 sqm gla with the tenants that include American Express, Avanssur, Leroy-Merlin and Mattel. The property provides 400 parking spaces. The building was purchased by Globalworth last April.
