Park Lane Developments : The largest deal on the office rental market in 2020

Sofia, 21 december 2020

As of mid-2021, the state-of-the-art office building Park Lane Office Center is going to house in one place all companies who belong to Allianz Bulgarian Holding, Park Lane Developments, the project’s construction company, reported.

The offices of Allianz Bulgaria will occupy an area of 6,000 sq. m and three floors at Park Lane Office Center located in 16, Srebarna Str. in Sofia. Each floor of the building has a total area of 2,200 sq. m and allows for creative interiors design aligned with the company’s corporate identity.

Modern customer service centers will occupy the ground floor including a bank office, an insurance and pension security office, as well as a center for registration of damages and inspections of automobiles.

The building’s location close to Paradise Center, the excellent visibility from a few key streets and the spacious green park outside the structure spreading over 4,000 sq. m are among the decisive factors which have determined the choice for Allianz Bulgaria’s new offices.  

State-of-the-art technology used during the construction of the office center including its special UV system for air disinfection creates a comfortable and safe working environment for all employees and clients of the building.

“Taking the companies from the group of Allianz Bulgaria under one roof is of exceptional value for our corporate culture. In times of market challenges it is very important to make sure that our customers are serviced, and our employees work in a healthy office environment and in a state-of-the-art place for communication”, said Ioannis Kotsianos, Chairman of Allianz Bulgaria Holding Executive Committee.

“For us an emblematic tenant such as Allianz is further acknowledgement for the quality of the office building that we develop. We are happy that this is the largest deal in the sector of office space in Bulgaria in 2020, and in fact, within a term of ten years. We believe that the modern Park Lane Office Center will contribute into greater synergy of our tenants’ teams and into outstanding business results”, commented Tanya Kosseva-Boshova, Managing Partner at Park Lane Developments.
 

Park Lane Office Center is a modern business building with first-class office space located at 5-minutes’walk from Vitosha Metro Station and Paradise Center. In addition to the key location, Park Lane Office Center’s key advantages include the larger than usual clear ceiling height – 3.10 m and its large windows (2.30 m wide and 3.10 m high) letting in plenty of daylight which is vital for work process comfort. The feeling of space and freedom is complemented by the substantial distance from neighboring buildings and the green areas for walks and relaxation. Tenants will be able to enjoy the spacious green areas behind the building – a 4,000 sq. m park with trees, benches, charging stations and Wi-Fi.

The floor slab is 2,200 sq. m. with the possibility of both en bloc rental or division into four separate premises. Apart from flexible office area, each floor sports terraces with a beautiful view of Mount Vitosha for the convenience and comfort of tenants.

Park Lane Office Center is built at a substantial distance from neighboring buildings and has adjoining green areas for relaxation. The project provides bicycle stands, as well as shower and changing rooms for cyclists. The building will offer 400 parking spaces at two underground levels. There are also charging stations for electric cars – private and shared.

The chief contractor for construction operations is Pipe System. The project is financed by Raiffeisenbank.

The concept is the work of Planning architectural studio with leading architect Ilian Iliev – a company that has designed some of the largest commercial and business buildings in Bulgaria, along with Chapman Taylor from the UK, a world leader in public building design.
