Strategy extends lease agreement in Skyliner – the office building's first tenant stays on for longer
Strategy has extended its lease agreement for office space in the Skyliner office building in Warsaw, part of the Karimpol Group's portfolio. Strategy occupies 1,500 sq m of office space on the 22nd floor of Skyliner I and was the building's first tenant.
Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) – operating under the name MicroStrategy until February 2025 – is the world's first and largest Bitcoin Treasury company and the largest independent, publicly traded business intelligence company. Strategy provides cloud-based, AI-powered analytics solutions to thousands of organisations worldwide, operating at the intersection of data, AI, semantics and financial innovation.
"We have been associated with Skyliner since its opening and have treated this location as an important part of our presence in Warsaw from the very beginning. The Skyliner office plays
a significant role in our operations and team development in Poland. Extending the lease agreement is a natural decision, resulting from the very good standard of the space, stable lease terms and efficient, long-term cooperation with the owner," comments Katarzyna Głowacka, Vice President, General Manager, Strategy Poland.
"The extension of the agreement with Strategy is of particular importance to us. It is not only another business decision, but also a symbolic continuation of a relationship that began in 2021 with the first lease agreement signed at Skyliner. We are delighted that Strategy has been part of the history of our flagship investment from the very beginning and will remain so for years to come," says Michał Orłowski, Head of Leasing & Asset Management at Karimpol Polska.
Karimpol was legally supported in the transaction by Argon Legal.
Skyliner – one of the seven tallest office buildings in Poland (195 m) – was opened in January 2021 as the first part of the office complex. It has a BREEAM Excellent certificate and is powered 100% by renewable energy sources. The total office space available for lease is 45,000 sq m. Tenants of the first tower of the complex include: Aon, Bolt, Booksy, Capital.com, Coca-Cola Poland Services, Colonnade Insurance Branch in Poland, X-Trade Brokers (XTB) Brokerage House, DXC Technology, ENATA Bread, Falck, Greenville, Luxoft, Meet & Eat, Strategy, Noble Securities, Onwelo, Process Solutions, Tarkett, Werfen, Vention, Villa Foksal (Look Up), Wento, global flexible office space operator Mindspace, and Xperi.
Construction of the second stage of the complex at Rondo Daszyńskiego has been underway since February 2024 and is scheduled for completion at the end of 2026. The second tower will be 130 metres high, with 28 floors and 24,000 sq m of leasable space. Most of the usable space – 23,000 sq m – will be allocated to offices. Retail and service premises on the ground floor of the building will occupy nearly 1,000 sq m. The standard office floor area will be approximately 1,100 sq m. The top floors of the building will feature garden terraces with a total area of nearly 900 sq m. Karimpol Polska has already received a BREEAM New Construction certificate at the Outstanding level for the building and, as in the case of the first stage, plans to power the building from renewable energy sources. The main contractor for the investment is WARBUD S.A., and APA Wojciechowski Architekci is responsible for the architectural design. CBRE Polska is supporting the investor in the commercialisation of the second phase of the complex.
