In March this year, the operator will make available more premium spaces in a modernized building at 37 Poznańska Street in Warsaw. The company is also present in Cracow and Wroclaw.

It also offers extensive opportunities in the sphere of networking through the organization of various events, integrating local business, allowing to develop contacts.
Unity Centre what is becoming an increasingly important destination on the Cracow map. With 2 restaurants already opened, 4 star Radisson RED Hotel and Apartments, as well as soon-to-open 2 top floors Unity Tower skybar, Arcade BEE activity bar, and the MINERS coffee bar it offers a wide range of prime urban life attractions. The Shire Beyond Coworking's new coworking space will perfectly blend in this thrilling mix of lifestyle features and high-end offices of international corporations.
A workplace with a broad outlook
- Unity Tower is a place with unique symbolism and an excellent location. Our goal was to find a space that would stand out in the competitive market of serviced offices in Cracow. Unity Tower's top three office floors with breathtaking views is a space that fits our needs perfectly – says Rafal Pisklewicz, Managing Partner at The Shire Beyond Coworking.
- With this transaction, we have the opportunity to create some of the most prestigious flex spaces in the city. We believe that our offer will attract, both domestic entrepreneurs and international companies that are looking for modern solutions with exceptional design in the Cracow market – says Oskar Odziemczyk, also Managing Partner at The Shire Beyond Coworking.
Unity Centre is one of the largest mixed-use business centers in Cracow, located on Lubomirskiego Street. The complex consists of five buildings of different character and scale. It is formed by Unity Tower - a 102.5-meter-high Class AA office building, two lower office buildings, a four-star hotel and a luxury apartment building.
The development offers 50,000 sqm of space, including the Unity Tower building with over 17,000 sqm of office and retail space. The centerpiece of the development is the green-planted Unity Square, designed as a place to meet and relax, with spaces for cultural events. The complex is distinguished by its location in the very center of Cracow. It is located about 5 minutes from the Central Station and Galeria Krakowska. The buildings are environmentally friendly, as evidenced by the LEED environmental certification.
The leasing process for the space at Unity Centre was finalized with the support of advisors from Walter Herz, which represented the tenant, The Shire Beyond Coworking, and JLL, which represented the landlord – company controlled by UNIQA Real Estate with GD&K Consulting – being a local partner.
Challenging project
- The deal just concluded is the fruit of intensive talks and negotiations. Using several years of experience in the industry, we managed to negotiate attractive terms of the agreement. We have great satisfaction looking at the result of our work, which will be an exceptional business space in one of the most prestigious complexes in Cracow. Taking into account the standard of space offered by The Shire, this amazing location will enrich the offer of the Cracow market and broaden the choices for companies looking for high-end offices in the city – says Mateusz Strzelecki, Partner and Head of Tenant Representation at Walter Herz.
- I will admit that the transaction was demanding and prepared for a long time so that all, even the smallest aspects related to it could be taken into account. The leasing process was successfully completed, providing optimal conditions for both parties. Unity Tower is a historically saturated location, offering Class A office space and access to an extensive infrastructure of services and amenities. The building's location in the central part of Cracow further strengthens the popularity of this project among tenants – says Kamil Kowalewski, Associate Director at Walter Herz.

The cherry on the cake
Włodzimierz Jędruszak, Leasing and Marketing Director at GD&K Consulting, admits that the contracting of space on the top available office floors of Unity Tower is a watershed moment for the company. - Unity Tower is a building widely known in Cracow, which today is a symbol of success and modernity. The partnership with The Shire Beyond Coworking opens a new chapter in its history. A coworking space with a captivating view of the city skyline that adds value for tenants is an excellent complement to our offer – he concludes.
- The serviced offices offered by The Shire Beyond Coworking will be the tallest coworking space in Cracow. Given the building's location in the very center of the city, right by the Mogilskie Roundabout, the city's largest transportation hub, it will be a truly unique product in the serviced office sector. Especially since the users of this space can also benefit from a hotel and apartments for rent as part of Unity Centre, as well as the Radisson Red conference center and a great food and beverage offer available within the complex – says Agnieszka Majka-Pietruszka, New Clients Director, JLL.
