New skyscraper in Warsaw – construction completed

Construction of Ghelamco's flagship investment – The Bridge office complex in Warsaw – has officially come to an end. The modern 174-meter-high skyscraper with 42 floors, connected to the restored building of the former "Bellona" Publishing House, has received a permit for use. Final finishing work is currently underway in common areas and tenant space decoration. On the former construction site, work has begun to restore a fragment of Plac Europejski, which will return in a refreshed, more attractive form.

The Bridge is not only a new dominant feature of Wola, but also an example of successful combination of modernity with history. The glass silhouette of the skyscraper contrasts with the brick facade of Bellona, preserving classical architectural details such as colonnade, ashlar or stucco. The monumental, 18-meter hall connecting both buildings was finished with marble, concrete and wood, enriched with green walls and a panoramic elevator. The original character of the interiors was preserved in the former Bellona building, and a memory of the past of the place is the restored printing machine, exhibited in the new atrium.

Ghelamco's investment sets new technological and ecological standards. The Bridge will be fully energy-neutral, powered by clean energy and managed by an advanced BEMS system. It has SmartScore and WiredScore certificates at the platinum level, and several more are in progress: WELL, BREEAM and others. The complex offers, among others, modern vacuum drainage systems, contactless technologies, infrastructure for cyclists and a unique amenity – a bicycle hoist. The total office area is over 54,000 m², of which 49,000 m² is allocated to the skyscraper and over 5,000 m² to the restored Bellona building.
