Greenberg Traurig has agreed a 10-year lease with HB Reavis, a leading international workspace provider, for 5,000 sqm of workspace in the brand-new Varso Tower – the tallest structure in the European Union. The state-of-the-art new offices will span over 3 floors – levels 31-33 – of Varso Tower. The relocation of the Warsaw team is scheduled for autumn 2022.
“With many challenges and opportunities ahead of us and the continuous growth of our Warsaw team, the office needs to relocate from its long-time home in the Warsaw Stock Exchange building to an excellent new location in one of the most technologically advanced projects being built in Europe today. Varso Tower definitely fits the bill and Greenberg Traurig will make the most of this new space,” said Richard A. Rosenbaum, Greenberg Traurig's Executive Chairman, closely involved with the European region.
Varso Tower was designed by Foster + Partners, a global studio renowned for pioneering design. Scheduled to complete in spring 2022, the skyscraper is clad in a 4 m tall glass curtain wall that filters an abundance of natural light onto the wide office floorplates. Varso Tower also holds the highest BREEAM and WELL certifications, proving its impressive energy-saving, safety and comfort credentials and making it one of the country’s greenest buildings.
Apart from offices, the tower will feature two public observation decks – one twice as high as the viewing platform at the Palace of Culture and Science – and a signature restaurant and bar with skyline views. Varso Tower is the final showpiece of Varso Place, a mixed-use development by HB Reavis consisting of offices, a hotel, an innovation hub and retail situated in the heart of Warsaw.
Savills is providing end-to-end technical advisory to Greenberg Traurig, including project and design management as well as comprehensive commercial support for the tenant in the lease process.
