Phase II of the complex received 88 points during certification. U-Center 2 is a carbon-neutral building and uses energy exclusively from renewable sources.

Poland The FORM builds on proven performance at Rondo Daszyńskiego

schedule 09 September 2026

The FORM is among the office assets benefiting from this shift: since opening in early 2025, it has become fully leased, attracted a diversified mix of public- and private-sector occupiers, and demonstrated substantial day-to-day use. Its performance to date, combined with the continued evolution of the surrounding district, reinforces its position as a trophy office asset.
