‘The planned complex of office buildings will be carried out in a number of stages, which considerably limits risks connected with the fluctuation of the economic situation on the demand side and allows obtaining better conditions with regard to project financing. We are satisfied that we have managed to buy such an attractive property, both with reference to its location and its development possibilities,’ said Waldemar Lesiak, Director of the Office Department at Echo Investment.
