(un)usual offices

Thirdly: green surroundings

The asset of a given investment can be also an attractive place where the building arises or has already been located. For instance, the plots situated in the neighborhood of the ubiquitous greenery such as city parks. There also projects on the market which are built among inner-city gardens. The example is Krakow’s Nowa Stajnia, which is situated on the several-hectare-large garden, and a part of it is to be make available to the future employees for the purpose of entertainment. The green surrounding of the office is especially appreciated by tenants of office buildings because the access to nature has a salutary impact on well-being and productivity of people working in the offices (see more: What is the impact of plants on our well-being?).

Developers more and more frequently decide to create green areas around their investments. However, there is not always an opportunity to create such type of space due to the size of a plot for a project. It is worth considering creation of a garden on the roof of your office, which can also constitute a distinguishing factor of your investment.

Fourthly: history  

Another way for distinguishing your office investment can be exposure of interesting history related to the place where the building is being realized. These histories can concern, for instance, the former events of great importance or they can be related to the business profile of buildings realized on this plot. Importantly, the facts from the past which are known by everyone are really crucial. The major example is the history of Krakow’s Skeleton (see more: Skeleton will not frighten you any more), the redevelopment of which has already started. In result, the multifunctional Unity Center complex comprising 5 buildings (as a target) will be realized.

The methods on distinguishing your office building mentioned above are only some of many available solutions or options. Some of them, such as the unusual location or surrounding, are given. And some of them are to be cared of – for instance, in order to build a green office. Which way to choose? It depends on developer or investor as well as the whole concept of your investment.
