Volkswagen Financial Services has signed a lease agreement at the Skyliner complex in Warsaw, becoming a tenant in the second tower of the development at Rondo Daszyńskiego. The company will occupy nearly 6,000 sqm of office and retail space across both Skyliner buildings.
Under the agreement, Volkswagen Financial Services will lease 5,500 sqm of office space across five floors in Skyliner II, alongside nearly 350 sqm in Skyliner I, where a customer service centre will be located on the ground floor. The lease term is 10 years, with the company scheduled to move into the space in the second quarter of 2027.
The transaction brings the occupancy level of Skyliner II to 50%.
Volkswagen Financial Services provides banking, leasing, insurance and mobility services for Volkswagen Group brands and operates in 46 markets worldwide.
“Choosing Skyliner as our new location is part of a long-term development strategy. We were looking for a place that would provide our employees with an even higher standard of workspace, access to modern infrastructure and the opportunity for the organisation’s further development. Skyliner meets these expectations, whilst allowing us to remain in the central part of Warsaw, which is well-connected and attractive to our team,” said Jarosław Stepaniuk.
Karimpol Polska said the signing marks another stage in the commercialisation of the project.
“We are already halfway through the commercialisation process for Skyliner II. Signing the agreement with Volkswagen Financial Services is an important step for us, all the more so as we are talking about an organisation with clearly defined needs and high standards regarding office space. This is a positive sign for us that the project meets the market’s real expectations,” said Szymon Zduńczyk.
CBRE acted as advisor to the tenant during the negotiations. Legal services for Karimpol were provided by Argon Legal, while Decisive Worldwide advised the tenant.
Other tenants already secured for Skyliner II include Squarepoint Capital, which leased approximately 2,200 sqm, and Mindspace, which will occupy around 4,500 sqm for its third location in Poland.
Skyliner II is the second phase of the Skyliner development being delivered by the Karimpol Group at Rondo Daszyńskiego in Warsaw. Construction is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The building will provide more than 24,000 sqm of lettable space, including over 23,000 sqm of offices and nearly 1,100 sqm of retail and service units.
The project includes four-level terraces designed by RS Architektura Krajobrazu, a five-level underground car park with 217 parking spaces and 100 bicycle spaces, as well as ten lifts serving the building.
The architectural design was prepared by APA Wojciechowski Architekci. WARBUD is serving as the main contractor, while Hill International is overseeing project supervision.
According to the developer, Skyliner II has received a BREEAM New Construction certification at the Outstanding level and is intended to be powered entirely by renewable energy.
