DL Invest Group has taken over the Craft office building in Katowice from Ghelamco and will change its functions. DL Craft will become a multifunctional complex offering premium office space, a hotel, restaurants and a medical clinic. The value of the transaction has not been disclosed.


The Polish investor is taking over the 26,700 sqm building, which was completed in August 2023.

"Our decision to acquire Craft and transform it into a unique mixed-use project was driven by both its business potential and our vision to redefine commercial spaces in Poland. Craft is to become a place where business and everyday life intermingle, creating a space that inspires and enables development", comments Dominik Leszczyński, CEO of DL Invest Group.

Craft's shape towers over Chorzowska Street and the Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa. The 13-storey structure gives tenants access to six terraces with panoramic views of the city. The design of the office building was created by Katowice-based Pracownia Architektoniczna Czora & Czora. The office building includes charging stations for electric vehicles, a bicycle car park with facilities and a car park with approximately 220 spaces in the underground garage and an additional nearly 30 in front of the building. The building has a BREEAM certificate at the Outstanding level.
