Chief Inspectorate for Environmental Protection (GIOŚ) has leased 4,600 sqm of office space in the HOP building at 132/134 Chmielna Street in Warsaw. The institution has been operating from the new location since January 2026 under a long-term lease agreement.
GIOŚ is a public administration body responsible for overseeing compliance with environmental regulations in Poland. Its responsibilities include inspections, environmental monitoring across air, water, soil and noise, as well as oversight of waste management and cooperation with other public services.
The HOP office building, owned by Syrena Real Estate, has undergone refurbishment in recent years with backing from PineBridge Benson Elliot. The upgrade included changes to the building’s façade and the creation of a public square of approximately 600 sqm in front of the property. Interior updates include co-working space, conference facilities totalling around 1,000 sqm, bicycle infrastructure and electric vehicle charging points in the underground car park.
The building provides more than 14,000 sqm of leasable space across six above-ground floors and one underground level. It holds BREEAM In-Use Excellent and WELL Health and Safety certifications, as well as a “Barrier-Free Facility” designation.
Other tenants at HOP include YOPE, Aplikacje Krytyczne, BNP Paribas Bank Polska, ERM Polska, Evergreen and Żabka. Syrena Real Estate also has its headquarters in the building. A LUPO Pasta Fresca restaurant operates on the ground floor.
