Commerz Real has repositioned the Warsaw office property Tulipan House in line with modern work concepts.
To
this end the building – which was erected in 2008 and has been in the
Hausinvest portfolio since 2013 – was in part comprehensively converted
and fitted
with a variety of community and service offerings for the tenants. “We
want to create a higher quality of experience for the users of our
buildings with more sustainability and mobility,” explained Jens
Böhnlein, Global Head of Office at Commerz Real at the
reopening ceremony on Thursday. Thus the 17-metre high lobby, which to
date had merely served as a prestigious entrance, was given a make-over
to create a meeting point and event area with a modern design
encompassing greened areas and wooden elements, seating
zones, table-top soccer and a café from the Costa Coffee international
chain. In order to further simplify the communication with the tenants
and among the tenants themselves an app was specially developed by
spaceOS, a proptech based in Warsaw and Dublin,
with which employees can book meeting rooms, order meals and snacks
from food trucks, and communicate with the facility management and the
reception. This is the first tenant app of its kind on the Warsaw office
market and also the first such app from Commerz
Real.
Furthermore, new bicycle stands were created in the building, as were
showers for cyclists and a bicycle washing facility. In addition,
tenants can utilise a variety of mobility offerings right in front of
the door of Tulipan House: alongside electric vehicles
from Innogy go! and hire bikes from Revelo, e-scooters are also
available round the clock. Sustainable materials were used for the
modernisation work. The carpets in the meeting rooms are made of
recycled fishing nets and plastic retrieved from the sea, for
example. Long before its repositioning Tulipan House had already been
awarded the BREEAM sustainability certificate “very good”.
BVN
Architecture was responsible for the new design. In addition, Commerz
Real was advised on the repositioning by Savills, which is also
responsible for the property
management at Tulipan House and which is additionally assuming the
leasing management as of immediately.
