The construction of the Quattro Business Park, the biggest office complex currently under construction in southern Poland, started at the Bora-Komorowskiego Ave.

By the end of 2012, four 14-storey buildings designed by the Warsaw-based Kuryłowicz & Associates Architect's Firm will have been built at the Bora-Komorowskiego Avenue. Their construction is to cost some 150 million euro.
The complex will offer 48,000 m2 of office space as well as auxiliary services including underground and ground-level car parks for 1,100 vehicles, restaurants, medical clinics and a conference centre for 200 people.
Because of its size, the development will be completed in four phases. The first building is to be commissioned in 2009. The second, together with the multi-level car park, in 2010. The remaining two in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
"Phasing the development will allow us to meet the market demand on a current basis, and phases can be accelerated or delayed as needed" explains Jacek Michalski, the President of the developer – the Buma Group.
The Deputy Mayor of Krakow for spatial development, Kazimierz Bujakowski, judges that the development contributes to the city's strategy. "We are becoming a European centre of services based on knowledge and high technologies" he says.
Krakow now has some 280,000 - 300,000 m2 of office space of various standard.
This capital of Małopolska has appealed to domestic and international real estate investors for a long time. Krakow authorities project that in the coming years the city will see over 20 new office buildings, some of them in its north. According to Professor Andrzej Wyżykowski, the city's Chief Architect, Olsza has been considered its strategic area for a long time. "Now we can finally see the potential of this place utilised" says he.
In the neighbourhood of the Quattro Business Park under construction there is already the recently built Rondo Business Park. Another project in this area is planned by Mayland developments, which intends to erect three glass towers housing offices and a hotel between the Dobrego Pasterza and Bora-Komorowskiego streets.
The development will feature offices, underground and ground-level car parks, restaurants, medical clinics and a conference centre
