Sterlinga Business Center offers over 13,300 sq m of modern office space spread across 9 floors. The ground floor will feature a representative reception lobby, as well as retail and service units and a canteen for the building’s tenants. Two underground levels have been designed to include parking for 170 cars and small storage areas available for rent.
The building is located in the center of Łódź and has excellent transport links. SBC is situated a short distance from Plac Wolności and Piotrkowska Street, where offices, banks, restaurants, and service points are located, and the Manufaktura shopping center is approximately 2 km away from the office building. Additionally, in the immediate vicinity are Park Helenów, Park Staromiejski, the Musical Theatre, and the Grand Theatre.
The architecture of Sterlinga Business Center is a combination of glazing on key facade elements and simple lines that give the building a transparent and distinct character. The goal of the architect and the investor was to provide tenants with a friendly, efficient work environment. The recessed upper floors allowed for the creation of usable terraces, which can be decorated with greenery and serve as an additional aesthetic asset. The project was designed by the architectural firm Aedas CE.
Przemysław Iznerowicz, Project Manager at Hines, said: We believe in the Łódź market. Regardless, Sterlinga Business Center is a project that fits the current times. It is very efficient, which will translate into operational savings for tenants. We will also offer tenants the assistance of an architect whose task will be to plan the office space in such a way that it is not only functional but also efficient. In addition, we want to offer tenants an attractive finishing package, which further increases the appeal of our project.
Krzysztof Misiak, a negotiator responsible for regional markets in the Office Agency Department at Cushman & Wakefield, said: The Łódź office market lacks buildings designed from the outset as office buildings, as most office space is located in so-called revitalizations, the quality of which (with some exceptions) is not always satisfactory. SBC is a building designed and constructed from the beginning as a modern office building. Future tenants will appreciate this, as apart from a higher standard, such buildings function better and are more efficient.
Construction of Sterlinga Business Center began on July 1, 2009. The commissioning of the investment is planned for the end of 2010. The general contractor for the project is Budimex-Dromex SA.
