Case study The Shire

The project combined image ambition with rigorous feasibility. It was crucial to secure lease terms and fit-out arrangements to control costs and liabilities across the large space and maintain a standard appropriate for the premium segment. At the same time, the location had to distinguish the offer in Krakow’s competitive serviced office market, and the space itself on the top floors had to be designed to truly contribute to commercialisation and the experience of future users.

We provided advisory support to the tenant in lease arrangements and key technical agreements, ensuring that the operating model of the operator was translated into concrete agreements and schedules. We ensured that the terms were measurable and implementable in practice: from financial parameters and the agreed-upon package to issues affecting the pace of commissioning and the standard of the space. Throughout the process, we streamlined the arrangements between the parties, minimising the risks typical of projects with high quality requirements, such as conflicting expectations regarding handover standards, unclear technical responsibilities and costly final refinements.

The Shire secured a prestigious location with a premium offer in one of the most recognisable addresses in Krakow, occupying the top three floors of the Unity Tower office. Thanks to structured lease and arrangement arrangements, the client increased the predictability of the project, reduced cost and technical risks and was able to move faster from the decision-making stage to the stage of implementation and commercialisation of the space. In addition, the location in the multifunctional environment of Unity Centre supports the attractiveness of the offer for end tenants, as the value is built not only by the office itself but also by the service facilities and the urban character of the location.
