PHN has renewed a lease agreement for more than 10,500 sqm with State Street Bank, the key tenant of the Titanium tower of the ALCHEMIA office complex in Gdańsk. Market data from H1 2024 shows that this is the largest lease transaction in the regional market and the third largest in Poland.
ALCHEMIA is located in the Oliwa district, at al. Grunwaldzka 409, the most important thoroughfare in Gdańsk. The award-winning complex is LEED green certified with the Platinum rating. The upper floors of the complex offer a view of the Tri-City and the Gdańsk Bay, and on the west side – the Tri-City Landscape Park area. ALCHEMIA II includes two towers, Ferrum and Titanium, with a light glass facade connected by a 4-storey brick podium.
“We are very pleased to continue cooperation with our largest tenant in Gdańsk – State Street Bank, which has renewed its lease, thus appreciating the advantages of our location and the conditions for doing business in ALCHEMIA. It is a modern office space located in the very center of the city, and the fact that the transaction is a record one on the market confirms PHN’s position,” said Wiesław Malicki, CEO of Polski Holding Nieruchomości.
State Street Bank is considered the world’s leading provider of financial services to institutional investors. Street Bank’s first office in Poland was established in 2007 in Krakow, and in 2016 the company expanded its operations to Gdańsk, where it decided to lease space precisely in ALCHEMIA.
In the transaction, State Street Bank was represented by Cushman & Wakefield.
“The record transaction in the market this year was the result of lengthy and complex negotiations that required not only in-depth analysis, but also full understanding of the tenant’s needs. The fact that State Street has decided to continue its business development in Gdańsk is a confirmation of attractiveness of the Tri-City labour market. It is also a testament to the building’s high quality and proven location, which have supported the company’s growth over the years. The developer’s flexibility and openness were key in making these talks a success,” said Adam Schroeder, Regional Head – Northern Poland, Cushman & Wakefield.
