The Sweet magic of Christmas

Christmas Feature
Is it possible to feel the magic of Christmas on a cloudy November morning? For a number of people in real estate the answer seems to be a resounding ‘Yes’: they rolled up their sleeves, baked gingerbread and opened their hearts to help the Iskierka foundation and the children in its care

One look at the faces of those working at the Brain Embassy coworking office at the Adgar Park West complex in Warsaw was priceless as they saw Christmas gingerbread being made for Santa Claus on Friday with ‘Driving Home for Christmas’ coming from the speakers. A dozen or so people took up the Eurobuild challenge to spend some time together and bake some gingerbread. Christmas is a time of giving, so the decorated biscuits should be given to friends – and seasonal wishes should be made for our readers. Donations were collected in a tin for the Iskierka foundation and handed over with all the best wishes for the children with cancer in its care and their families. “Each such event shows that helping can be more, that it can combine the necessity of supporting others with the passion and interests of the people involved. When we meet not only to be with one another but to actually do something for others with a shared feeling of empathy, it’s a source of motivation and long lasting joy. It also shows the children and their families that at this special moment, when we are all beginning to feel the Christmas spirit, that they are not alone and the support they will receive comes straight from the heart,” says Jolanta Czernicka-Siwecka, the president of the Iskierka foundation.

The editorial team at Eurobuild added to the Christmas cheer by providing a team of elves to lend a helping hand.

Izabela Ciszewska, the director and talent manager, tenant representation, JLL

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Time flies by, and we, busy as usual, are always short of time. We certainly have far too few opportunities to stop, breathe and just enjoy the moment. And this is what, on behalf of the whole JLL team, I wish you for the upcoming Christmas season – time to rest and time to spend actively or not among your those you love, with no laptop or phone, with a cup of coffee by the Christmas tree or maybe even under palm trees. I hope you will spend it in your own simple way, and recharge the batteries for 2020. Merry Christmas!”

Bożena Krawczyk, the investment director at Segro

This Christmas, I would like wish all our customers, business partners and colleagues from Segro as well as all the readers of ‘Eurobuild’ magazine a special time spent with those you love and a prosperous and successful New Year! I also wish all the children of the Iskierka Foundation a lot of hope and joy.

On behalf of myself and the entire team at Colliers International in Poland, I wish all of us the ability to look at one another so that the hustle and bustle of pre-Christmas preparations does not overshadow what is most important – our relationships. Let us celebrate the moments we spend together. Let us be grateful for the good that we experience and share it with others. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

I wish us all the ability to work together better so that every day we can draw inspiration and motivation from others, from their different points of view and from the experience of our colleagues, friends, partners, customers and suppliers and everyone we work with on a daily basis. Let Christmas reinvigorate us and let the New Year be full of fruitful and unexpected meetings.

On behalf of myself and my colleagues at CPI Property Group Poland, I wish you enough to rest and recharge at Christmas. And let the New Year bring only good news and success at home and at work.

Agnieszka Chołuj, the CEO of Spaceplan

Dear all! I wish you all an optimism in your lives. Because with it love, money and health come to you by themselves. I’ll admit we had a heated discussion in the company about whether health, money or love was most important. And it turned out that opinions were divided. So I wish that you all need not even have to think about it. I hope you have it all! Because it is possible. And all these things are important!

Monika Szelenberger, the senior leasing and asset manager at Adgar Poland

Let the magical power of Christmas bring you peace and joy. May the festive atmosphere be present in your homes all year round, and the time spent with those you love be full of smiles and fulfilment.

Aleksandra Nowakowska, the head of PR and marketing at Savills Poland

At Christmas time it is important to slow down and rest and make the most of its festive atmosphere. However, it is equally important to think of others. Congratulations to the Eurobuild team for this fantastic event, and we wish the entire real estate sector a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Rafał Gierczak, head of asset management, Ghelamco

This Christmas, I would like to wish you a festive time filled with joy, and family warmth. Let this time be a chance to rest and escape from the everyday madness of our fascinating sector but let 2020 be a time of joy and prosperity for the whole year. I wish you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of myself and the entire team at Ghelamco.

Urszula Matej-Bil, the PR and communications director at EPP

Christmas is a time for ourselves, our families and friends. I wish my colleagues from EPP, our tenants, business partners, customers and the entire sector that you spend it in your own way, the way you enjoy the most and in a joyful atmosphere. Let us relax and recharge our batteries.

Anna Borkowska, the asset manager of Atrium European Real Estate

The Atrium team wishes all its business partners and colleagues as well as the children in the care of the Iskierka Foundation a loving and relaxing holiday season. We hope the New Year will bring you all the energy to achieve all your goals.
