GUSTAVS business centre holds its rafter's celebration
On August 25 real estate developer GALIO Group together with its partners – construction company Merks, SEB Global Services centre in Riga and architect office Vilnis Mičulis held a rafter's celebration for the future GUSTAVS Business Centre in Teika. Marking the start of the final stage of construction, the rafters of the new building were decorated with the traditional wreath which was raised by representatives from all sides. The construction of the business centre is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2023.
This is the first building in the Gustava Business Park project, which will comprise a total of three sustainable buildings. It will be a six-storey office building with two-level underground car parking, an atrium with a wooden skylight structure, roof terraces, conference rooms, a restaurant zone, electric car charging opportunities, bicycle storage and locker rooms. The project has been designed and is built in compliance with the sustainability requirements of the BREEAM New Construction Excellent standard. SEB Global Services centre in Riga will lease approximately 11,000 sqm of space.
“I can speak on the behalf of all of our more than 1000 colleagues, who are excited to see the excellent progress with our new office building. We look forward to the next year when we will move from our three current locations to GUSTAVS and finally work under one roof. I have no doubt that after its completion GUSTAVS will be one of the most modern, inspiring and sustainable office buildings in Riga and become an excellent addition to Teika area. Our ambition is to create GUSTAVS as the best place for our employees to collaborate, create and grow together. For us, GUSTAVS will become a platform that will support further development of our organization and a strong focus on well-being of our employees,” emphasizes Aļesja Kirčenko, Deputy Head of SEB Global Services centre in Riga.
