Information about the building:
The new home of the Bank’s employees and clients is expected to be completed in approximately 2 years. It is planned as an 11-story building filled with natural light and offering a comfortable working environment. On the ground floor there will be the central branch and a lot of dedicated spaces for other activities. On the upper floor, the employees will have at their disposal a spacious, green terrace that, aside from its great practical value, will give an additional architectural effect of the object. The floors are designed with agile design in mind, which enables flexibility and modularity, i.e. an opportunity to be adjusted according to the work of every organizational unit. Additional attention has been paid to the high energy efficiency of the building, enabling the Bank to help in saving the environment, now and in the future.
