Real estate development company UAB “EIKA” has begun construction of a new business center in Klaipėda.
Real estate development company UAB “EIKA” has begun construction of a new business center in Klaipėda. The modern, three-story “Baltic Business Center” of lightweight glass structures will be erected in the middle of next year. In a strategically attractive location, on the busy Baltijos avenue, between Taikos pr. and Šilutės highway, the new building will eventually become another attraction. The business center is adapted to the needs of medium-sized and small business owners.
According to Vida Minkštimienė, project manager at UAB “EIKA”, Klaipėda currently lacks small, functional and high-quality offices up to 100 sq m in size. Large premises are most often offered, but small entrepreneurs still tend to purchase premises rather than rent them. UAB “EIKA”, responding to market needs, offers Klaipėda entrepreneurs the opportunity to purchase functional small-area offices and commercial premises.
The total area of the new building is a little more than 2,000 sq. m. Two retail premises have been designed on the first floor (total area of about 800 sq. m). They will suit companies that need to install a small warehouse or administrative premises next to their retail premises. The second and third floors will feature 23 small, functional offices of 34-75 sq. m., which can be combined to increase the area to 700 sq. m. The total area of the offices is 1,234 sq. m.
Two offices on the third floor of the building are exclusive – they will have spacious outdoor terraces for meetings or creative hours. The terraces will be available only to the owners and guests of these offices.
According to the project manager of UAB “EIKA”, “Baltijos verslo centras” exceeds the requirements for class B offices, as it has many advantages of class A: the premises will be equipped with ventilation and air conditioning, an elevator. Separate sanitary facilities are provided in all offices. For the convenience of customers, a spacious 35-space parking lot will be installed next to the building.
“Baltic Business Center” is already the fourth commercial office building of UAB “EIKA”. In 2005, the company built a modern 12-story class A office complex “EIKA Business Center I and II” (~13,000 sq. m of leasable area) in the Business Triangle on A. Goštauto Street. Two years ago, UAB EIKA successfully developed a small commercial premises project in Vilnius, on Kubiliaus Street.
UAB EIKA intends to invest 10.6 million litas in the new business center in the port city and complete the work by July 2009.
UAB EIKA, operating in the real estate market for more than 15 years, currently manages projects worth more than LTL 500 million.
One of the most important projects in Klaipėda is the investment project “Gateway to the Sea” developed together with AB “Achema”, which plans to transform the territory of the AB “Klaipėdos laivų remontas” factory into a shopping, leisure, entertainment and residential space.
