The state-of-the-art Equator IV office building continues to attract a great deal of interest from tenants. Recently, the owner of the property – Karimpol Polska – signed an agreement with First Data Polska, which will take more than 4,600 sq m of space in the scheme.

Experts from JLL advised the tenant on the processes of seeking a new location and negotiations of the agreement. The tenant was represented by Clifford Chance law firm with regard legal matters. In turn, the team from GVA Polska represented First Data during the negotiations of the technical aspects of the lease agreement as well as the coordination of implementing fit-out works.
