Another company has decided to move its office to VIBE, Ghelamco’s latest project under development in the business center of Warsaw. Rödl & Partner, one of the leading consulting firms providing audit, BPO, tax and legal consulting and advisory services, has leased nearly 2,500 sqm of modern office space there. Newmark Polska advised the tenant in the transaction.
Rödl & Partner will occupy the entire 6th and more than half of the 7th floor in the 45-square-meter office building.
“I am extremely pleased that another respected company has chosen VIBE as its headquarters. Our project is generating a lot of interest from tenants, who flock to it for its excellent location, state-of-the-art solutions, energy efficiency, low-carbon character, and small scale. At this rate of commercialization, we will have a fully leased building before its completion! I congratulate Rödl & Partner on its decision and wish it further dynamic growth, to which the new office in VIBE will certainly contribute,” says Jarosław Zagórski, Managing Director, Ghelamco Poland.
VIBE is being built in the heart of Warsaw’s business center in the Rondo Daszyńskiego area, at the corner of Towarowa and Kolejowa streets. The first of the buildings of the two-stage development, with an area of 15,000 sqm, is expected to be completed as early as the second quarter of this year.
“Why are we moving our office to VIBE? Our decision is well thought-out and based on thorough analysis of workspace our employees’ needs. In the decision-making process, we were guided not only by functional aspects, but above all by the desire to create an environment conducive to working comfort and achieving our business goals. Therefore, after numerous workshops and interviews with our employees, we decided on VIBE. In addition, the choice of a climate-neutral building is in line with ESG principles that are important to us and is a clear step toward sustainability and social responsibility. This modern and eco-friendly space will make everyone – both our customers and employees – feel good,” says Renata Kabas-Komorniczak, Managing Partner, Rödl & Partner.

”We are pleased that we were able to support our Client in this key process. Choosing the right location required an understanding of Rödl & Partner's business and long-term plans. This transaction is evidence that through cooperation and commitment of all the parties we managed to achieve positive outcomes that will benefit our Client for many years to come,” says Anna Szymańska, Head of the Office Department at Newmark Polska.

VIBE – to the rhythm of music and ESG
The name of the project – VIBE – is a reference to the energetic and big-city atmosphere that will prevail in Ghelamco’s latest project. For the first time in Poland, the building will receive its own specially composed audiosphere, which will give it a unique character and tune in real time to the pace and rhythm of life inside the building. Well-known Polish composer, producer and sound designer Wojciech Urbański was invited to compose it. In addition to composing the music, an entire set of acoustic and visual experiences was designed to accompany tenants and visitors to VIBE.
VIBE is being built in accordance with Ghelamco’s ESG strategy. The office building will use a state-of-the-art Building Energy Management System (BEMS) that will significantly reduce energy consumption. VIBE’s sustainability will be confirmed by certifications in the WELL, BREEAM, DGNB, SmartScore, WiredScore and Green Building Standard systems. In the first two, the developer’s goal is to achieve certification at the highest possible levels: Platinium and Outstanding. Ultimately, the office building will be powered by 100% clean energy.
Like other Ghelamco buildings, VIBE will be equipped with the proprietary Signal OS system, which monitors the building’s condition and thus provides an optimal working environment. Installing anti-pandemic solutions, such as virucidal UV lamps in lifts and ventilation systems, will help ensure the health and comfort of users.
In an effort to encourage tenants to use environmentally friendly means of transport, VIBE will provide ample infrastructure for cyclists (including lockers, showers, bicycle parking, and a repair station) and chargers for electric bikes and cars. In turn, the use of public transportation will be facilitated by the building’s excellent location – next to Rondo Daszyńskiego metro station, tram stops, as well as train stations: Warszawa Główna and Warszawa Ochota.
