Case study ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions Poland

The key was to combine two goals: to secure business continuity and to obtain additional space and lease conditions that would be predictable in the long term. At the same time, the client needed a reliable comparison of the scenario of staying in Eximius Park with relocation, taking into account the costs, risks and impact on the team. Operational issues, such as access to public transport, on-site facilities and the efficiency of business logistics related to frequent international contacts, also had to be considered.

We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the vacancies available on the Krakow market and prepared a comparison of scenarios, including the costs and consequences of potential relocation. On this basis, we built a business case for talks with the landlord which led to the renegotiation of the annex to the lease agreement, incl. the expansion to approx. 3,800 sq. m, and secured key arrangements for the stability of the project. At the same time, we advised in the area of arrangements so that the expansion of the office would genuinely improve functionality and meet the needs of the growing team.

The client extended the lease in Eximius Park and increased the lease area to approx. 3,800 sq. m, gaining a scale adequate for further development without the organisational costs and risks typical of relocation. The analysis of alternative solutions and well-conducted arrangements of lease terms led to a quantitative decision, and the whole process allowed for a faster transition from the decision-making stage to the implementation of changes in the office. The organisation maintained its location that supported day-to-day operations (regarding infrastructure, amenities, public transport accessibility), and the larger area provided more space for further adaptations of the work environment according to the team’s growing needs.
