The investment in Woli is one of Hines’ flagship projects in Poland. It is still appreciated by tenants who are attracted by modern, functional and flexible office space, tailored to the needs of each business. The best proof that the offices we offer are of the highest quality is the fact that more companies have trusted us and have become our long-term partners,” says Marta Wiewiórowska-Kudła, Leasing Director, Hines Polska Sp. z o.o.

Wola Center turned out to be an excellent choice. Flexible office space with an additional terrace, quality solutions, as well as ecological technologies used in the building convinced us that it is the right place for our company’s headquarters” says Kacper Kostrzewa from Ocean Winds Polska, the company responsible for the construction of the BC-Wind offshore wind farm.
