Olivia Centre as a symbol of Polish’s economic success in the “Daily Mail”

Olivia Centre found herself at the centre of one of the most famous foreign texts of recent days. An article by the British Daily Mail, which was devoted to Polish’s economic success and the return of about 100,000 Poles from the UK to work in the country, illustrates a photo of Olivia.

 

In the paper edition of the newspaper, readers saw a night panorama of Gdańsk with Olivia Star and her observation deck. The publication also received widespread coverage online: the Daily Mail reaches over 200 million unique users per month, and the announcement of the article on social media reached over 4 million views. The text was also shared by Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

 

The article included an extensive excerpt devoted to Olivia’s story. Jake Jephcott, Business Development Director at Olivia Centre, described the development of the complex as an example of the dynamic transformation of the Polish economy – from one office building to seven buildings, which today employ about 20 thousand people.

 

The Daily Mail also draws attention to the growing competitiveness of the Polish labor market. Over the past two decades, salaries in Poland have increased several times, and the salary packages for specialists working at Olivia are in many cases equal to those in London today. According to the data cited in the text, up to 20-30% of employees are people who have returned to Poland from Great Britain and Ireland.

 

The publication of Olivia Centre as a visual and substantive reference point for the story of talent return and long-term development is another confirmation of its role as one of the most important business projects of the last dozen or so years in Poland and a recognizable symbol of the modern economy also abroad.

Christmas Concert of the Choir and Friends at Olivia Star. An evening full of musical magic

In the hall of Olivia Star, the December evening sounded exceptional. The Christmas Concert of the Choir and Friends has become a beautiful clasp of the day – full of warmth, emotions and experiencing music together, which at this time of year gains special power.

 

Music that connects

From the first minutes, the audience was carried away by the atmosphere of the meeting: there were moments of emotion, sincere smiles, spontaneous laughter and that characteristic, festive energy when everyone – at least for a moment – feels closer to each other. Olivia Star’s hall, filled with sound, turned into a space for experiencing together: without haste, without distance, to the rhythm of the most beautiful melodies.

 

On stage: Olivia Centre Choir and guests

The concert was led by music and a variety of voices. The following performed on stage:

  • Olivia Centre Choir conducted by Wiktoria Pagieła

  • Fahrenheit University Alumni Choir “Non Serio”, led by Beata Borowicz

  • Children of the choir members and friends of the choir, who added even more joy and naturalness to the concert

It was this intergenerational mix that made the performance not only have a high artistic level, but also an exceptionally cordial, “homely” atmosphere.

 

A sound that builds the mood

Beautiful, festive sounds were taken care of by Marcin Twardowski, who accompanied. His musical presence subtly led the concert, emphasizing emotions and giving the whole thing coherence – from quiet, focused moments to those in which the energy in the audience grew with each subsequent phrase.

 

Christmas carols and winter arrangements of well-known songs

The repertoire includes the most beautiful Christmas carols and winter arrangements of well-known songs – those that immediately evoke memories and build the mood. There were times when the audience listened in silence, but there were also times when it was hard not to join in – because Christmas hits just ask you to sing together.

 

The concert is open to everyone. And that’s exactly what December should be like

The Christmas Concert of the Choir and Friends was an open event and that was the most beautiful thing about it. Regardless of whether someone came “for a while” or stayed until the end, they left with the feeling that they had participated in something good: in an encounter that builds community and leaves a clear trace.

We would like to thank all the artists and guests for this evening. Such moments remind us that the magic of Christmas really does exist and often begins with a common sound.

With the magical rhythm of December: Christmas market in Olivia

Wednesday in Olivia had everything we love December for. The Christmas Fair took place in the Olivia Star Hall, which, as every year, turned this space into a handicraft town full of life, cordiality and scents.

 

Unique, handmade decorations, imaginative gifts, Christmas decorations and trinkets that immediately attracted attention awaited the stands. Each of the exhibitors brought something of their own — passion, smile and that characteristic December attentiveness, thanks to which even the smallest object can evoke admiration.

 

There were also Christmas flavors. Natka Bistro served aromatic borscht, dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms, homemade pâtés and fresh bread smelling like Christmas Eve morning. Gorąco Poleca tempted with pastries that didn’t take long to persuade: sweet rolls with plums, soft cinnamon rolls and donuts that disappeared faster than they could be photographed.

 

The whole thing was complemented by conversations, spontaneous meetings and that quiet, December magic that always appears in Olivia when something common happens.

 

The Christmas market is not only an opportunity for our community to buy unique things, but also a moment to support the Foundations and Associations present on site. This is already our little tradition — and like any tradition, it brings a lot of good.

 

We would like to thank everyone who visited the fair, shared a smile and took at least a bit of Christmas mood with them. We would also like to thank the exhibitors for their passion and beautiful works, as well as to all those who supported them with their purchases – thanks to you, this event had such a unique energy.
See you next year.

 

 

Fast lunch, not fast food – iLunch opens its first Polish restaurant in Gdańsk, in Olivia Centre!

After success in Lithuania, Latvia and the United Arab Emirates, iLunch enters Polish with a bold expansion plan. The brand, which has redefined the way we think about lunch, will open its first restaurant in January at the Olivia Business Center in Gdańsk, in the Olivia Prime building.

 

iLunch is a modern gastronomic concept that combines the speed of fast food with the quality of fresh, authentic dishes. Their motto “Fast lunch, but not fast food” perfectly reflects what they offer: high-quality meals served in just 2 minutes of placing your order.

 

All dishes are freshly prepared on site. The menu is based on European cuisine, enriched with local flavors and occasional exotic touches, with new, balanced dishes appearing every day! iLunch restaurants are open from Monday to Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., focusing solely on what matters most – the perfect lunch for the busy. Guests of the Olivia Centre can enjoy their meals right on the spot, but residents of all over Gdańsk can also benefit from fast delivery straight to their homes and offices.

 

The concept is based on a unique combination of advanced technology and high-quality cooking. Digital ordering via tablets, automated delivery systems and optimized kitchen processes allow each restaurant to serve up to 1500 customers per day while maintaining exceptional quality.

 

“People want to eat well, but they don’t want to waste time waiting, especially during working hours,” says Aurelijus Jasevičius, founder of iLunch. “We created iLunch to bring this idea to life: fast lunch, but not fast food – a place where technology, nutrition and modern convenience meet.”

 

The story of iLunch began in 2016 in Vilnius, where Aurelijus developed the concept and opened the first restaurant. The organization grew even more when Donatas Vaitasius joined the company as CEO in 2019, strengthening the operational and organizational structure at a crucial moment in scale. Thanks to this leadership, supported by a growing and committed team, iLunch grew dynamically in the following years, reaching more than 40 restaurants in Lithuania and successfully entering international markets such as Latvia and the United Arab Emirates.

 

The company’s CEO, Donatas Vaitasius, supports the brand’s day-to-day operations and organizational development. As a leader in day-to-day management, he ensures that a dynamically growing network maintains high product quality, trusted brand identity, and consistent customer experiences across all markets.

 

“Gdańsk is a priority for us because it made a huge impression on us from the very beginning,” says Donatas “The Olivia Center – the largest business center in Poland is the perfect location to start our Polish journey. Thousands of professionals visit Olivia every day, and soon they will be able to enjoy healthy, freshly prepared lunches served in just a few minutes.”

 

Modern interiors, streamlined processes and a new menu every day – this is iLunch – the brand that revolutionized lunch breaks is now ready to welcome its first guests to Poland.
