POLAND Co-working space provider WeWork is to lease space in Warsaw’s Europejski building, which is also to be home to the Raffles Europejski hotel in Warsaw. Mikhail Konoplev, the general manager of WeWork Central Europe commented: “We’re incredibly excited to have signed a building like Europejski. Its historical elements and surrounding neighbourhoods make this a perfect location for our members. Forty-five percent of WeWork member companies say that WeWork helped accelerate their growth, and expanding our portfolio in Warsaw not only proves our dedication to the city, but also provides opportunities for both new and existing members who can use the space to network and collaborate within the WeWork community.” Companies – both small and large – use our global membership to help their business needs when travelling, and we know that this location will be incredibly beneficial for them, as it is in such a prominent area of the city in terms of other businesses and opportunities, and nearby local shops and restaurants.” “It is our great pleasure to have yet again advised WeWork in choosing office space in Warsaw. Europejski was one of WeWork’s short-listed locations and we are happy that the project guidelines were fully met. Benefiting from its historic heritage and unique location, Europejski in Warsaw will certainly meet expectations of members of WeWork’s global community and provide them with many unrivalled experiences,” write Richard Aboo, international partner, and Mikołaj Niemczycki, co-working clients manager at Cushman & Wakefield. According to 'Eurobuild CEE' sources, WeWork is to occupy most of the sixth floor of the project.
WeWork is opening a co-workspace centre in central Warsaw. It will be located at the Europejski building, a historic mixed-use property that also houses the Raffles Europejski hotel. The new site is the co-workspace operators fourth location in the Polish capital.
