(WARSAW, POLAND) â Hines, the international real estate firm, has signed a new lease agreement for office space at the Wola Center. The new tenant is LUX MED Group, which will occupy 46% of the retail space on the ground floor of the building, making it the largest retail tenant in the office complex at 33 Przyokopowa Street.
The Wola Center is a 34,000 square meter prestigious office building acquired by the Hines European Value Fund (HEVF 1) in 2020. It has been chosen as part of a multi-stage selection process to find a new office location for the LUX MED Group. Patients will also have access to 35 parking spaces in the underground garage, both from the pool of places rented by LUX MED and from the planned public car park. The lease agreement has been signed for eight years.
âThanks to its convenient location and good exposure, Wola Center is an excellent choice for office tenants as well as those providing numerous services. Its location near the city center, well-developed infrastructure and good transport connections to many districts of Warsaw make it an ideal place for a medical facility. Cooperation with LUX MED provides added value for Wola Center with our business partners able to benefit from medical services available at their fingertips." says Marta WiewiĂłrowska-KudĆa, Leasing Director, Hines Poland..
As part of its wide range of services, the new tenant plans to launch a pediatrics department with a separate entrance and infrastructure adapted to the needs of parents with children, as well as people with disabilities at the Wola Center.
âThe Wola Center building is well adapted to our needs and is in a location that is easily accessible to our patients. These factors have largely contributed to the choice of Przyokopowa Street as part of LUX MED's development in Warsaw. I'm glad that we've started our cooperation with Hines, which in the process so far has proved to be very flexible and efficient.â says Ćukasz Niewola, Director of Corporate Communication and PR, LUX MED.
LUX MED was supported in the leasing process by Robert Karniewski of REINA Company.
