GTC has extended its lease agreement with Arup, an engineering and consulting firm specializing in providing sustainable and innovative solutions.

Its compliance with sustainability standards is confirmed by the BREEAM In-Use certification at the Excellent level and the "Building Without Barriers" distinction. The complex features electric vehicle charging stations, and its energy comes from renewable sources. Additionally, tenants have access to numerous amenities such as a gym, restaurant, café, bicycle infrastructure, and a green relaxation zone.

"Extending the lease agreement with Arup in the Korona Office Complex is an important step for us, highlighting our shared commitment to creating modern office spaces. Arup not only brings rich experience and an innovative approach to the project but also inspires us to further develop practices in line with sustainable development principles." – says Agnieszka Kuehn, Senior Leasing Manager w GTC.

Arup not only extended its presence in the Korona Office Complex but also transformed the occupied space in accordance with sustainable development principles. The project was based on the 3R principle: Reduce – the existing layout was preserved, minimizing material use and carbon footprint; Reuse – furniture was refurbished, and unnecessary items were sold, with half of the furnishings being recycled or second-hand; Recycle – carpets and acoustic panels were made from recycled materials. New furniture was upholstered with natural wool fabric, and their design allows for easy replacement of components and reuse of materials. The arrangement is complemented by over 240 plants, emphasizing the values promoted by Arup. The renovation process went smoothly thanks to the effective collaboration of all parties involved.
