New business Point in Gdańsk
Punkt is a cosy office building, with six overground and one underground storey, respectively, of the total gross leasable area of nearly 12,800 square metres. The building is located in the district of Wrzeszcz, right next to popular shopping malls (Bałtycka and Metropolia), and is excellently served by public transport – in close proximity of the PKP/SKM/PKM train station, and multiple bus and tram stops. It takes only a few minutes to reach the Gdańsk Główny central station, with just another fifteen minutes necessary to arrive in Sopot or the Lech Wałęsa airport.
The building is distinguished by its architecture, advanced technologies, and energy-saving features. Its strengths lie, among others, in the 3-metre height of office spaces, tilt windows, building management system, dedicated application providing numerous practical functions (e.g. facilitating access to the building), and the vast infrastructure dedicated to cyclists. Punkt will be certificated in the LEED v4 system, meeting highest environmental norms related to the energy-saving, among others, resulting in lower maintenance costs, and to the use of the human-friendly construction materials. The building’s architectural blueprint was devised by APA Wojchiechowski, a design studio.
