The agreement between Savills and Atrium European Real Estate covers the retail properties of the fund’s Polish portfolio with an office component. These include three schemes in Warsaw: Atrium Promenada (10,000 sqm of office space), Wars Sawa Junior (8,800 sqm of office space), Atrium Reduta (3,000 sqm of office space), and Atrium Copernicus in Toruń (670 sqm of office space).

To assist Atrium European Real Estate, Savills will draw on its experience in leasing Blue Office, an office section of the Blue City complex in Warsaw. For the new client, the real estate adviser is planning to carry out marketing activities to support the commercialisation process. Savills will use modern proptech tools, among other things, for day-to-day communication with the client and presentation of office space to prospective tenants.

“Not everyone is aware that many modern retail schemes also offer office space for lease. An inherent advantage of such locations is the direct access to services, retail and, first of all, F&B options available in a shopping centre,” says Lidia Malec, Associate, Office Agency, Landlord Representation at Savills.
