One of the world’s largest IT companies has picked New Apollo as the new home for its Slovak operations in Bratislava. With the company pointing to New Apollo’s flexible Qubes spaces and Symbiosy and More services as some of the reasons behind the move.

The building, located in the redeveloped New Nivy zone, is currently under construction. When complete, one of the world’s largest IT employers will be its prime tenant occupying almost 30,000 sqm of the building’s 48,000 sqm. It’s a big step forward for the city’s post-COVID real estate market.

The company plan to use a number of HB Reavis’ workspace as a service solutions at New Apollo, many of which work in perfect harmony with the building’s design.

With each floor offering 7,000 sqm of space, it’s both the city’s and the CEE region’s largest available leasable area – and comes with a serviced Qubes space. Designed for short to mid-term lease, Qubes gives them the ability to easily increase and decrease their footprint and get maximum value for money.

They will use More platform not only for building management, but also to help employees use the concierge and bike-sharing services, and book wellbeing, health, and work-related educational events. Symbiosy will also be a key solution, helping them improve employee wellbeing through digital experiences, enhancing collaborations and thus boosting performance in their working day.

New Apollo’s spacious lobby will be packed with landscaped plantings tailor made to invigorate workers and visitors, improve wellbeing, and, together with other elements and solutions, help the building achieve WELL certification. Plus, with sustainability and ecology considered at every point of the build and ongoing operational design, the building also applied for BREEAM certification.

New Apollo will also enhance life for the local community due to the proximity of HubHub in New Nivy zone, and provide opportunities for local start-ups and scale-ups. The project will showcase a wide range of retail and services, including cycling facilities and a café at the Bikehub – part of New Apollo’s aim to support alternative commuting.

Part of the growing New Nivy zone – New Apollo is scheduled to be completed in 2023, with a total leasable area of almost 48,000 sqm across seven above-ground floors. The project’s design has been pioneered by British architectural studio Make Architects in partnership with local studio Siebert+Talaš.
