Avestus Real Estate has secured lease extensions for over 620 square meters of retail space at the Imagine office complex in Łódź, ensuring that prominent tenants will continue their operations at the site. Among those renewing their leases are Vorwerk Polska, Żabka Polska, and the local food concept Z Pieca Rodem, all of which are situated on the ground floor of Building A.
Vorwerk Polska, part of the international Vorwerk Group, has reaffirmed its commitment to Imagine by extending its lease for several more years. The company, known for its innovative household products like the Thermomix® kitchen appliance and Kobold cleaning systems, has been serving Polish customers since 1995. The Vorwerk showroom, occupying 435 square meters, prominently faces Al. Piłsudskiego. The lease renewal process was facilitated by real estate advisor Walter Herz.
Żabka Polska, a leading convenience store chain in Central and Eastern Europe, has also decided to continue its operations at Imagine. The company, which operates around 11,500 stores in the region, extended its lease for nearly 90 square meters of retail space. Like Vorwerk, Żabka’s store is located on the ground floor of Building A, ensuring its continued presence in this prime location.
Additionally, Z Pieca Rodem, a well-known bakery and food concept from Łódź, has renewed its lease at the Imagine complex. The bakery, celebrated for its locally baked bread, a variety of confectionery products, and delicious breakfasts, will continue to operate from its 95 square meter space on Al. Piłsudskiego.
Mariusz Frąckiewicz, Director Poland at Avestus Real Estate, expressed satisfaction with the lease renewals, highlighting the importance of maintaining a diverse retail and service offering at Imagine. “We are very pleased with the continued cooperation with our existing retail tenants. Since the beginning, Imagine has been envisioned as a public space that benefits both the employees of the complex and the residents of Łódź. The decision of Vorwerk Polska, Żabka Polska, and Z Pieca Rodem to extend their leases underscores the advantages of our location and the business environment we offer,” said Frąckiewicz.
The Imagine complex, which opened in 2019, is strategically located at the intersection of Al. Piłsudskiego and Śmigłego-Rydza in Łódź. It comprises two six-storey buildings offering 17,200 square meters of commercial space, including 14,800 square meters of office space and 2,400 square meters dedicated to retail and services. A third facility provides parking for 356 vehicles, 49 double bicycle racks, and an electric vehicle charging station. The complex is distinguished by its use of high-quality materials and modern energy-saving solutions, earning it BREEAM certification at the “Excellent” level.
In addition to Vorwerk, Żabka, and Z Pieca Rodem, Imagine hosts a variety of other prominent tenants, including EY, Asseco Poland, Bluerank, WWT (World Wide Technology), Well Fitness, Philips, GE, and LUX MED.
