New Work, independent flex office provider, is set to open a new location in the Metron office building in Warsaw. The eighth floor of the building will be operated by New Work under a management agreement in a partnership model with the property co-owners, Alides and Aya Properties Fund. The negotiation process was supported by AXI IMMO, the largest Polish commercial real estate advisory firm.

Established in 2012, New Work is an independent serviced office provider operating within the Central and Eastern European region (CEE). Strategically located offices in Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria serve as a welcoming hub for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), corporate entities, and freelance professionals alike. New Work is renowned for outstanding customer care and office spaces that seamlessly blend the elements of focused work and networking. New Work is the first serviced office operator to introduce and implement a partnership model based on management agreements.

Yuriy Balitskyy, Country Manager, New Work, says: “New Work is not just another flex office provider; we are experts in managing office spaces to maximize efficiency, enhance tenant experience, and improve overall building performance. This partnership with Alides is a great example of how we help landlords elevate their building’s standard, increase footfall, and attract a diverse mix of customers. With our proven management strategies, we transform vacant areas into high-performing assets while delivering modern, flexible office solutions tailored to today’s business environment. This new space reflects our commitment to flexibility, ensuring that companies of all sizes can find a workspace that truly fits their needs. Sustainability is also a key driver of our approach. Our flex office management model aligns with ESG principles by optimizing space utilization, and creating responsible, future-proof work environments. With New Work, landlords don’t just fill office space – they upgrade the entire building’s potential.”

The new space will be New Work’s fifth location in Warsaw. Operations at the new location are scheduled to start in May 2025.

Jakub Potocki, Associate Director, Anna Piłka-Sutkowska, Office Agency, AXI IMMO, comments: “New Work’s decision to choose the Metron building was highly considered. The building is located right at the entrance to the Wierzbno metro station on the M1 line and offers extensive parking availability. An additional advantage is the space layout – almost ideal for a serviced office model. It is also worth highlighting the excellent cooperation with the building’s owner, Alides, who from the beginning was open to the concept of a flexible office, which enabled both parties to agree on favourable terms.”

Over the years, we have observed that the coworking sector has been developing dynamically. Now, it is a permanent part of the office market landscape in Poland. Warsaw remains the largest and most active domestic market, and flexible leasing models combined with well-designed individual and cooperative workspaces are increasingly chosen not only by freelancers and start-ups but also by corporations testing hybrid work models. Many companies are looking for flexible lease durations and cost solutions. It’s important to highlight that coworking has significantly evolved. It is no longer just about desks – these are now comprehensive environments with meeting rooms, relaxation zones, added services, and, most importantly, spaces for building relationships and exchanging experiences. New operators are constantly entering the market, and those already present are expanding their portfolios with new locations to meet rising demand and changing occupiers’ needs.

Krystian Cyganek, Business & Project Developer, Alides, explains: “The Metron office building’s location is undoubtedly one of its greatest assets. Situated right next to the entrance to the Wierzbno metro station on the M1 line, it provides swift and convenient access from virtually anywhere in Warsaw. Tram and bus stops are located in the immediate vicinity, enhancing the site’s connectivity. Tenants also appreciate its short distance from the city centre – just about 8 minutes by car – and only 15 minutes to Chopin Airport. The location offers both convenience and prestige, which is particularly important for companies collaborating with domestic and international partners.”

The Metron office building is a modern, Class A office building offering approximately 10,000 sq m of office and retail/service space. Located at 69 Niepodległości Avenue in Warsaw’s Mokotów district, the building combines elegant architecture with functionality. It offers a high level of workplace comfort, thanks to numerous amenities such as modern technical systems, high-quality finishes, and access to service space. Designed by the well-known architectural firm JSK Architekci, the building was completed in 2002 and received the second prize in the “Construction of the Year” competition in the “Office Buildings” category that same year. In 2023, the Metron building underwent a comprehensive refurbishment of its common areas and main lobby, gaining a modern, representative look and enhanced functionality. Metron offers 166 parking spaces and modern office space is available in flexible configurations. The building has undergone an environmental audit and has received BREEAM In-Use certifications at the Excellent and Very Good levels.
