Swobodna SPOT is a new project by Echo Investment at 60 Swobodna Street in Wrocław. There will be a total of 41,600 sqm of leasable space in the project located in the city's business centre. Two office buildings and a green urban walkway connecting them were designed by architects from Kuryłowicz & Associates.


The 11-storey building of 16,000 sqm located at the intersection of Swobodna and Gwiaździsta Streets will be built first. It is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025. The second building, which will deliver a further 25,600 sqm of space to the market, is planned for the third quarter of 2026.

"At Echo Investment we strongly believe in the business potential of Wrocław. The capital of Lower Silesia effectively attracts investors, and the city's rich educational, entertainment and cultural offers are assets that benefit both employers and employees. This is confirmed by the first place in the fDi Intelligence ranking for medium-sized European cities in the "Business Friendliness" category. Swobodna SPOT draws on our best experience and the latest office trends, and the success of the nearby MidPoint71 has shown that companies appreciate the high standard of our buildings in Wrocław", said Katarzyna Kubicka, Regional Director at Echo Investment.

The ground floor will include a restaurant, café, retail units and common areas for informal meetings. The developer and the designers have also taken care to create a friendly urban space between the buildings. 

"When designing Swobodna SPOT, we paid a lot of attention to integrating the project harmoniously into the surrounding urban fabric. We wanted to create a friendly place that would serve future employees and the immediate neighbourhood well. Creating new business and social relations will be supported by the green urban walkway inspired by the landscape of a mountain canyon. Gradual faults crowning both solids will give them dynamics and create recreational terraces on the roofs", added Krzysztof Pydo, an architect from Kuryłowicz & Associates.

The building will also be equipped with indoor air purification technology. In line with the BREEAM Excellent certification, Echo Investment will provide for rational energy and water management and waste monitoring as early as the construction stage. The high quality of digital communication and teletechnical solutions will be confirmed by WiredScore and SmartScore certifications. The project will include charging stations for electric cars, as well as racks and locker rooms with showers for cyclists.

This is Echo Investment's eighth office project in Wrocław. So far, the developer has completed more than 150,000 sqm of modern office space in the capital of Lower Silesia.
