DXC Technology stays at Skyliner until 2032
DXC Technology has extended its lease agreement for space in Warsaw’s Skyliner. The global IT services leader will remain in Karimpol Group’s flagship office building until 2032. The company currently occupies nearly 4,600 sq m across three floors of the building. In 2021, it moved into Skyliner alongside Luxoft, marking the start of a new phase in the integration of the two organisations.
DXC Technology, a global company listed among the Fortune 500 business giants, has decided to extend its lease at Skyliner for a further five years. The current headquarters of DXC Technology and Luxoft comprises nearly 4,600 sq m of office space, located on the 25th, 26th and 27th floors of Skyliner.
“Extending the lease is a natural step based on our experience of operating at Skyliner. From the outset, we were keen to create a working environment that meets the modern needs of our teams: flexible, comfortable and conducive to collaboration. The current space is well-suited to this model and remains a key component of our approach to organising work,” says Patryk Falkowski, Head of RE&F Poland, Real Estate and Facilities at DXC Technology.

Luxoft is a digital strategy and software engineering firm founded over 25 years ago. It has been part of DXC Technology since 2019.
“We are particularly pleased when companies decide to stay with us for years to come. This is the best proof that an office today is not merely an address, but an element that supports day-to-day work, organisational development and the employee experience,” says Michał Orłowski, Head of Leasing & Asset Management at Karimpol Polska.
During the lease renegotiation process, the tenant was represented by JLL, whilst Argon Legal provided legal services on behalf of Karimpol Polska.
Skyliner – one of the seven tallest office buildings in Poland (195 m) – was completed in January 2021 as the first part of the office complex. It holds a BREEAM Excellent certificate and is powered entirely by renewable energy sources. The total leasable office space is 45,000 sq m. Tenants of the complex’s first tower include: Aon, Bolt, Booksy, Capital.com, Coca-Cola Poland Services, Colonnade Insurance Poland Branch, X-Trade Brokers (XTB), DXC Technology, ENATA Bread, Falck, Greenville, Grid Dynamics, Mattel, Meet & Eat, Luxoft, Noble Securities, Onwelo, Process Solutions, Strategy, Tarkett, Wento, Werfen, Vention, Villa Foksal (Look Up), Wento, global flexible office space operator Mindspace, and Xperi.
Construction of the second phase of the complex at Rondo Daszyńskiego has been underway since February 2024 and is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The second tower will be 130 metres tall, with 28 storeys and 24,000 sq m of lettable 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 floor area of an office floor will be approximately 1,100 sq m. Roof gardens will be created on the top floors of the building. Karimpol Polska has already received a BREEAM New Construction certificate at the Outstanding level for the building and – as with the first phase – plans to power the building using renewable energy sources. The main contractor for the project is WARBUD S.A., whilst the architectural design is being handled by the firm APA Wojciechowski Architekci. CBRE Poland is supporting the investor in the commercialisation of the second phase of the complex.
