"From the very beginning, the Hi Piotrkowska complex was designed to be a showcase for the center of Łódź and to create new business functions here. That's why we are pleased that a brand like Signify has chosen our building as the location of its office. For us, this is another confirmation of the attractiveness of our investment, its unique location and the high quality of the services provided," says Justyna Druzynska, chief operating officer for office space at Master Management Group.

Hi Piotrkowska is a mixed-use complex developed in the very center of Łódź. The development consists of two buildings with a total of 21,000 sqm of class A+ office space and 5,000 sqm of retail and service space. The first building in the complex is a 20-story tower with a height of 82 meters, which has earned the status of the tallest office building in Lodz. The second, five-story building adjoins the frontage of Piotrkowska Street and creates an intimate office space, combined with a catering offer on the first floor. Complementing Hi Piotrkowska's function is the internationally recognized Hampton by Hilton hotel with 149 rooms and three conference rooms. The Hi Piotrkowska complex was built right at the intersection of the city's main thoroughfares. Hi Piotrkowska received an Excellent rating under the BREEAM International New Construction certification system for the Post Construction phase.

" In the first six months of this year, 31.6 thousand square meters of modern office space were leased in Lodz, an increase of more than 280 percent compared to the same period last year. We can clearly see an increase in tenant activity, especially in the newest A-class buildings. This was the kind of space we were looking for for our client, who, for the sake of his employees, counted on a well-connected office with ample food and service facilities. Security aspects were also important for Signify," says Marta Pyziak, deputy director in CBRE's office space department in Lodz, who was involved in the process of selecting a new office for Signify.
