POLAND Sepia Office, a restored, five-storey office and retail/services building located within the walls of the former warehouse and treasury of the Ramisch factory in Łódź, is now ready for its first tenants.
The first few occupants can now move into their new premises in Sepia Office. The building, which forms part of the Off Piotrkowska Center, comprises almost 2,300 sqm of leasable space, of which round 70 pct is now leased. This spring its food & drinks tenant mix will be complemented by Japanese restaurant Shamo. Software developer NX Labs, marketing agency SpilloMedia and the Paweł Radek & Mariusz Grzanka law firm will all be opening their offices in the building over the next few weeks. In the near future the building will also be receiving other new tenants from the technology and business services sector.
“Sepia is for companies that, inspired by the creative atmosphere of Off Piotrkowska Center, want to convert this energy into developing their businesses. The post-industrial atmosphere equipped with modern installations, areas free from structural walls, and a kitchenette in the common areas on each floor, are among the amenities appreciated by our tenants. We can still offer the first floor area of app. 385 sqm, which can be fitted out according to the requirements of the potential tenant, as well as a 65 sqm office on the third floor that can be entered immediately. Furthermore, the ground floor level includes the last few vacant retail and service units, each of app. 65 sqm,” reveals Monika Hryniewicz, the head of leasing at OPG Property Professionals, the investment manager of the projecty.
Tenants of Sepia are free to decide on how their premises are divided, choosing a variant suitable for the working style of their teams. The building is also equipped with high-speed lifts, pivot windows, fibre optics, video surveillance, access control and an intruder alarm system as well as BMS.
“Sepia Office is an integral part of the Off Piotrkowska Center. During the refurbishment we didn’t want to lose its unique, inspirational atmosphere during the revitalisation work,” says Michał Styś, the CEO of OPG Property Professionals.
A significant number of the original features have been retained, including raw red brick walls, cast-iron balustrades and columns as well as the exposed ceilings with wooden structures. The common areas of the building have been decorated with photo wallpaper featuring original photographs depicting life in the former Ramisch factory at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
