The plan includes the reconstruction and revitalization of a 100-hectare area in the city center, in the vicinity of the modernized \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Fabryczna railway station. &#8211; Industrial buildings that are located in this area, after revitalization will perform commercial and public-cultural functions. Thanks to this unique project on the European scale, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a will become one of the most attractive Polish cities, offering the most modern retail, office and residential space, as well as interesting entertainment and cultural facilities &#8211; informs Bart\u0142omiej Zagrodnik.\u00a0&#8211; \u0141\u00f3d\u017a is becoming more and more attractive, in terms of both living and working. An unquestionable advantage of the agglomeration is its location and wide access to well-educated staff. \u0141\u00f3d\u017a is after all an academic center with 20 universities. This is a city with tradition that has undergone a huge change. Every year, there are more and more investors who see huge potential in the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a market. They want to associate their business with \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, thanks to, among others, the fact that a lot of modern office space has been built in the city recently. The revitalization changes the image of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. What will be the future of our &#8220;Promised Land&#8221;? Well, I hope that all visions and plans included in the Integrated Development Strategy for \u0141\u00f3d\u017a 2020+ will be implemented &#8211; summarizes Przemys\u0142aw Andrzejak, CEO of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Regional Development Agency\u00a0The agglomeration of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a ranks sixth in Poland in terms of available office space, but thanks to the intense development of this segment, it has a chance of becoming the fourth market in our country in the near future. Over the last three years, the office market in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a has been growing three times faster than before. According to Walter Herz, the total amount of modern office space in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, is approaching 500 thousand sq m, similarly to Katowice and Pozna\u0144.<\/p>\n<p>What is characteristic of the city are, first of all, original historic red brick buildings located in post-industrial areas, such as Teal Office, Sepia Office and Textorial Park. Also several new office buildings are noteworthy, including Centrum Biurowe Fabryczna, Brama Miasta in NC\u0141, and the nearby Manufaktura &#8211; Ogrodowa Office Park, Hi Piotrkowska and P22 at Piotrkowska Street.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large_projects_under_construction\"><\/span>Large projects under construction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Central Axis of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, the largest office area in the city that gathers such buildings as: Red Tower, Symetris Business Park and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a 1. Many investments are currently under construction in this area, including the famous Monopolis carried out in the former vodka factory. Investors together with the city are renewing the historical areas of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a and are building the new districts. The biggest international real estate development companies such as Ghelamco Poland, Skanska Property Poland, HB Reavis and Echo Investment are investing in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a.<\/p>\n<p>Ghelamco\u2019s investment, which is on the most expensive plot in New Center of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, located on more than two hectares of land with planned nine buildings, sparks particular interest. The first stage of the project, which already has a building permit, will include a hotel with 166 rooms, an office building with 18 thousand sq m of space and an apartment building with 70 apartments. Between the buildings there will be retail passages with gastronomic function. Skanska\u2019s Brama Miasta is also noteworthy. It is to become a new showcase of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, welcoming travelers leaving the modern, underground \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Fabryczna railway station.\u00a0Also, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a\u2019s Ksi\u0119\u017cny M\u0142yn is under renovation in cooperation with private investors. It is a city within the city. This post-industrial district was created by the nineteenth-century factory-builder Karol Scheibler, with textile factories, warehouses as well as factory housing for workers, shops, school and the owner&#8217;s palace. Today, Ksi\u0119\u017cy M\u0142yn becomes a green, intimate district in which the artistic life of the city is being born.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_record_number_of_offices_entering_the_market\"><\/span>A record number of offices entering the market<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2017, according to Walter Herz, a record number of 74 thousand sq m of modern office space entered the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a market .
