Pilot Tower office building is part of the UK-based First Property Group’s real estate portfolio, which has appointed BNM – Real Estate Advisory as its exclusive leasing agent.

Pilot Tower is an original Class A office building with a ground floor dedicated to retail. It offers approximately 13,500 m2 of space spread across 14 above-ground floors. Some Krakow residents may still remember it as Alma Tower (the name derived from its former main tenant). The new name refers to the building’s address, 10 Pilotów Street in Kraków.

A Tower Designed by Two Architectural Studios

A distinctive feature of Pilot Tower is its original, modern form and its striking sea-green façade, which stands out from its surroundings. The building is the result of a collaboration between two renowned Kraków-based architectural studios – nsMoonStudio and Wizja. The trapezoidal layout gives the impression that the shape of the building changes depending on the viewing angle. The recessed corners not only add variety to the building’s form, but also accommodate terraces for tenants. The vertical pilasters surrounding the building taper towards the top, gradually giving way to glazing, which accounts for as much as 90% of the façade area on the highest floors. Pilot Tower is undoubtedly a local landmark with timeless, elegant architecture.

A Convenient Location with Excellent Transport Links

The investment’s location directly by Rondo Młyńskie, close to the boundary between the Prądnik Czerwony and Grzegórzki districts, guarantees excellent visibility and convenient access to public transport. The city centre and Kraków Główny railway station are located 4 km away, while Kraków Olsza railway station is just 1.5 km away. Bus stops in the vicinity of the building are served by 14 bus routes. A tram stop is also currently under construction, which will further improve connections with other districts. Approximately 500 m from the office building runs Al. Gen. Bora-Komorowskiego, which connects to Kraków’s ring road and the motorway.

What Tenants Will Appreciate

Among the benefits of leasing space in Pilot Tower, the following are worth highlighting:

• High-standard offices available immediately. A total of approximately 2,800 m2 is available for lease. It is possible to lease an entire floor (approx. 780 m2) as well as smaller, dedicated office modules. The offices are in very good condition and will be an attractive option for tenants looking to move in quickly.
• Excellent access to natural light. Optimal access to natural daylight means savings on artificial lighting. In addition, a series of panoramic windows creates a beautiful effect inside the offices. Another advantage is that the windows can be opened.
• Functional space layout. The trapezoidal design with a central circulation and technical core allows the space to be efficiently arranged in an open-plan, cellular or hybrid layout. Tenants will also appreciate the low common area ratio of just 3.8%.
• Cycling facilities and a 3-level car park. Tenants have access to 149 underground parking spaces, as well as bicycle racks, changing rooms and showers. There is also an above-ground car park for tenants and visitors.
• LEED Platinum certification. This confirms the environmentally friendly solutions implemented in the building.
