Projects in progress
Olivia Star - the newest stage of Olivia Business Centre. The 180-metre tall skyscraper may become a new symbol of business in Pomerania. The highest floors of Olivia Star will offer the most stunning vista in Poland: Bay of Gdańsk, cliffs of Gdynia, Hel Peninsula and Tricity Landscape Park with all its abundance of trees and greenery. These highest floors will accommodate a commonly accessible observation deck and a conference centre.
It is going to be one of only 3 buildings in Poland with a three-pane all-glass curtain wall façade (Olivia Six was the first one). The natural ventilation systems on all office floors will allow fresh air to each room individually. The building has been tested for its acoustic properties.
The building will adjoin a glazed winter garden with greenery and water features, to be situated in the inner patio. The winter garden has been designed as a venue for educational and artistic events. Unique, exotic flora will surely make any event special.
