On Thursday, January 24, 2008, a ceremonial knocking on the foundation stone of the second stage of the new business centre construction commenced at 6:00 p.m. in premises of the Digital Park at Einsteinova Street in Bratislava. The project consists of 4 mutually interconnected buildings, which will altogether provide more than 40,400 m2 of leasable area, of which 36,000 m2 office area.
“We have very thoroughly devoted ourselves to the concept of an architectural design, building facilities, and compared similar projects not only in Bratislava. We are prepared to provide, with a comparable height of rent, a much higher standard than other projects,” Juraj Šaštinský, Director of the Real Estate Department of Penta Investments said.
The author of stage II of the project is the well-known architectural atelier, CMA (Cigler Marani Architects) from Prague.
