Łódź

Located just 130 km away from Warsaw, Łódź is the third-largest city in Poland. It combines the extremely interesting history of an industrial city with the business present times. It impresses with the investments in the New Centre of Łódź and lures with the partying Piotrkowska Street where you can have lunch or taste a collection of local craft beers on one of the surrounding woonerfs.

What does the city have to offer?

Described as a cradle of Polish capitalism in the novel of the Polish Nobel laureate Władysław Reymont entitled “Ziemia obiecana” (“The Promised Land”), the city was one of the leading centres of the global textile industry in the 19th century and in the early 20th century. Although many of 8 thousand tenement houses in Łódź fell into ruin, they are being restored gradually, with many buildings, including the typical red-brick plant facilities, being converted into offices. Such offices create a unique and unconventional space that is sought by tenants from the creative sectors. What is interesting, in 2019 the former plant facilities and tenement houses adapted to office needs accounted for around one-fifth of the office space in Łódź. The main office clusters in Łódź, where new projects are mostly located, cover the districts of Widzew, Centrum and Nowe Centrum. Łódź is also an important academic centre – 19 universities educate approx. 64 thousand students.

What companies does it appeal to?

The main tenants of the offices in Łódź have been IT, financial and industrial companies for years now. Łódź is one of the leading centres of the sector of shared business services. The city has already attracted: Accenture, Bosch, Fujitsu, Infosys, Nordea Bank, UPS Global Business Services and Whirlpool.

Transport connections 

Łódź forms a strategic spot on the New Silk Route. It takes 12-14 days on average to transit goods from Poland to China, covering a distance of 10 thousand km. There are two international airports in the vicinity of Łódź. It takes around 10 minutes to get from the city centre to the Władysław Reymont International Airport by car. On the other hand, the journey from the centre of Łódź to the Warsaw Chopin Airport takes approx. 90 minutes and gives access to around 100 national and international destinations. Within a close distance from Łódź, there is a crossing of the two main Polish motorways (A1 and A2), being part of the Trans-European transport network connecting the Western and Eastern Europe, as well as the Baltic States with the southern part of the continent.
