MONOPOLIS is a unique mixed-use project located in the centre of Łódź, the third biggest city in Poland. The project combines modern offices, services and culture with a wide range of food and beverage facilities. Its most important element is the revitalization of the historic plant buildings of Monopol Wódczany (the Vodka Monopoly Plant) from 1902. It is based on renovation of historic buildings and changing them into a luxurious place to work and spend free time. The top-class offices are located in the main building of the former bottling plant as well as in two brand new buildings. In total MONOPOLIS creates a space for nearly 2,500 modern workplaces. The design was prepared by a recognized Polish architectural studio, Grupa 5 Architekci. The concept fits perfectly in the assumptions of the New Centre of Łódź – it is modern and multifunctional. Monopolis creates an exceptional space on the map of the Łódź city, designed for its inhabitants to spend business and free time.
