Colliers International has been appointed to manage the first stage of the Face2Face Business Campus in Katowice, which is being developed by Echo Investment.

The commission brings the Silesian portfolio of Colliers’ property management department up to more than 40,000 square meters of office space.

Face2Face Business Campus is located in the former Huta Baildon sports hall. The lower, seven-story building, is already in use, while the construction of the 14-story building is to be completed by the end of 2020. The project is being built at the junction of ul. Chorzowska and ul. Grundmanna, at the entrance to the city centre and opposite the Silesia City Center shopping complex.

The complex will eventually have a total of over 46,000 square meters of office space and additional retail and service premises.

Colliers International will be managing the first stage of the complex, which comprises almost 21,000 square meters of offices. Dazn, Stats, and Honeywell have offices in the building, while Medicover Polska has opened a medical centre. A total of 765 parking spaces are to be provided in underground car parks and around the buildings as well as electric car charging stations, spaces for bicycles and cabinets and showers for cyclists. The distinctive feature of this investment by Echo Investment is the common spaces. A large green patio is to be created between the buildings with a rest zone and restaurant area.

Face2Face, which has been designed by Grupa 5 Architekci, is to be BREEAM certified at the ‘Excellent’ level.

“We are constantly expanding our portfolio in regional cities. We have been present in Katowice since 2016. Currently, we manage a prestigious and recognisable office building there. By being added to our Silesian portfolio, Face2Face will significantly increase its value,” claims Agnieszka Krzekotowska, a partner and the property management director at Colliers International.
