BNI Polska changes Warsaw address but stays with Globalworth

International business referral organisation – BNI Polska – is to move from Spektrum Tower to the spacious offices on the 38th floor of the Warsaw Trade Tower, another building owned by Globalworth. The company is to take up almost 1,000 sqm in the office building in Warsaw’s Wola district. Comprehensive advisory services were provided by Walter Herz for this transaction.

BNI Polska is one of our long-term tenants that decided to look for a larger space to develop their business. The company provides a global business network; therefore, they needed not only a spacious office, but also a showcase space where they could easily organise business meetings. We offered them the 38th floor in the Warsaw Trade Tower with a beautiful panoramic view of Warsaw. BNI Polska is staying with Globalworth, changing its Warsaw address, and expanding its office space by almost three times. We are convinced that the spacious interiors at the top of the Warsaw Trade Tower will make an ideal work area where exceptional networking meetings can be organised,” says Anna Korwin-Kulesza, Senior Leasing Manager at Globalworth.

BNI Polska was looking for space that would stand out as a Warsaw office but would also allow it to develop its business in a stable way without hindrance. As part of our comprehensive support for our client, we showed them space that met their expectations and also secured them the best contractual obligations by negotiating the financial and leasing terms. The office in the WTT building is ideally suited to meet the needs of BNI Polska. The reason why our client decided to locate their head office here was that it offers the benefits of an easily accessible location in the center of Warsaw, further expansion possibilities within the building and also additional back-office conference facilities,” says Martyna Markiewicz, Senior Leading Negotiator at Walter Herz.

As a result of our rapid development, we decided to relocate the national head office of BNI. Our new office space will be three times larger, which will allow us to start working with new specialists and this, in turn, will have an effect on how the business develops and on its future scalability. Our new location gives us not only office space but also conference rooms for meeting visiting business people as well as a professional studio for recording training materials. We are now preparing for what is to be an important event in the history of the company, an event that has been long-awaited by the whole team. This will be the move and the change of our head office that is planned to take place soon since it will be at the end of March and the beginning of April in 2021,” says Ryszard Chmura, President of BNI.

BNI is the largest business networking organisation in the world with over 270,000 members in over 9,400 BNI Chapters in 70 countries. In 2019 alone, BNI members generated $16.2 billion (USD) in revenue through referral business. In Poland, BNI has been operating since 2006. BNI Polska comprises almost 3000 small and medium-sized enterprises in over 30 towns and cities and is continually growing, which includes franchises. The head office of BNI in Poland is in Warsaw.

Warsaw Trade Tower is a 42-storey office tower in Warsaw’s Wola district and one of the highest skyscrapers in the city. In April last year, the property was acquired for its portfolio by Globalworth, the leading office investor in the Central and Eastern European region. The building includes over 45,000 sqm of office space with attractive communal areas for its tenants’ use, most of which have already been modernised. Insurance company AXA has its Polish head office in the building, and so do companies such as American Express, Avanssur, Leroy-Merlin and Mattel. Tenants also have at their disposal 400 parking spaces. The building is on ul. Chłodna near the crossroads of ul. Towarowa and al. Solidarności as well as near the Rondo Daszyńskiego station on the second line of the Warsaw metro.
