Marta Wybrańska, Leasing Director, Avestus Real Estate, said: “We are very pleased that EY, one of the most recognisable companies in the world, has joined Imagine tenants. Trust from such a prestigious organization confirms the numerous assets and advantages of the Imagine office complex, and for our team it is an additional incentive to work even harder at the beginning of the new year. Signing a contract with EY is all the more valuable for us as the company is going to move to Imagine from another office in Łódź. This shows that the location at the intersection of Piłsudskiego and Śmigłego-Rydza Avenues is appreciated by companies that create excellent conditions for the development of both their business and their personnel.”

The new EY headquarters will occupy 3,015 sqm. of space on the fourth and fifth floor of building A in the Imagine complex, and EY employees will also gain access to a dedicated terrace.

We have offices around the world, and in Poland we do not focus only on Warsaw, but we are also present in other cities, including Łódź. We attach great importance to the workplace of our specialists. Our new Łódź headquarters is a place that facilitates creative and inspiring work, and also has a very good location.”

As part of the Imagine project, a state-of-the-art Class A office complex is being built, consisting of three buildings. Two of them (six-storey facilities) will offer a total of 17,200 sqm. of commercial space: 14,800 sqm. of office space and 2,400 sqm. of retail and service space. The third one will house an overground garage offering 356 parking spaces and 49 double bicycle racks.

Imagine’s tenants also include Asseco Poland, the largest provider of modern IT solutions in Central and Eastern Europe, and New Work Offices, a company which will arrange office space in both buildings of the complex for corporate clients and serviced offices for small companies.
