The
former
paper
warehouse
of the
Anczyc
Printing
House
turned,
within
four
years,
into
a modern,
public
use
facility.
Still
more
and
more
companies
are
interested
in the
adaptation
of old
production
buildings.
Such
buildings
are
then
transformed
into
modern
structures,
their
investors
profit,
and
the
city
is able
to get
rid
of the
rickety
remnants
of the
communist
era.
Inside
the
building
in Wadowicka
Street
everything
was
changed,
except
for
reinforced-concrete
structures.
Now,
the
glazed,
blue
and
grey,
three-storey
building
bears
no resemblance
to the
old
paper
warehouse.
The
printing
house,
these
days
six
times
smaller
than
a dozen
years
ago,
no longer
needs
a large
paper
warehouse.
Nowadays,
large
quantities
of paper
are
no longer
stored.
"The
building
has
usable
premises,
with
the
overall
surface
area
of 5,000
sq.m.,"
says
Mr.
Jacek
Michalski
of the
Buma
Group,
which
is the
owner
of the
building.
"The
facility
is furnished
with
modern
hydraulic
lifts,
and
is guarded,
by means
of the
CCTV
monitoring
system.
A parking
yard
was
established
in the
place
of the
former
railway
siding."
The
building
in 8W
Wadowicka
Street
is a
B-class
structure.
Its
adaptation
was
cheaper
than
constructing
a public-use
facility
from
the
very
beginning.
"How
much
cheaper?
It is
difficult
to say,"
explains
Mr.
Michalski.
"We
made
savings
on project
costs.
We have
applied
reliable
solutions,
though
not
those
top
shelf
ones.
A dozen
or so
companies
have
their
seats
there.
The
facility
has
been
leased
in 100%.
We have
lived
up to
such
times
that
more
and
more
companies
adapt
old
buildings.
It is
possible
to construct
A-class
facilities
in Kraków,
but
they
are
too
expensive.
So it
is for
that
reason
that
owners
of such
newly-constructed
buildings
have
problems
with
leasing
them.
When
making
capital
investments,
one
has
to think
of the
local
market."
In
the
same
way,
the
Buma
Group
has
recently
adapted
the
old
Furniture
Factory
in the
Kraków’s
district
of Rybitwy.
Presently,
it is
a modern
warehousing
complex
with
an office
part.
