“The choice of Olivia was determined by several factors,” says Monika Misztal-Rybka, director of the Gdańsk branch of UniCredit. The decisive influence was the central location in Gdańsk, convenient access, modern office infrastructure and an extensive range of services for tenants. Access to common spaces and business events taking place in Olivia is also important. The biggest advantage is the ability to organize business meetings in an inspiring environment. We also appreciate the modern architecture, comfortable office facilities and the unique atmosphere of the place, which is conducive to integration and networking in the Tri-City business environment. An additional convenience is access to a wide range of gastronomic options, including a Michelin-starred restaurant and an observation deck with a panorama of the city.
