Have you ever wished you could work in an office building named after a star? Well, in Warsaw, you can, at Antares. Looking up at this modern glass and steel edifice, it’s hard not to feel a connection to the heavenly body it’s named after.
Antares is a true example of Warsaw’s office scene. Situated at the intersection of Marynarska and Rzymowskiego streets, it’s a prime spot in the heart of the city’s second largest office district. It was constructed in 2003, with 13 floors boasting 14,540 square meters of total area, much of which is dedicated to office space.
Antares has a certain elegance. When it opened, it was considered a prestigious building, with its class-A office space and design. It was a big deal when the building was named after the brightest star in the constellation Scorpius, a true testament to the vision of its creators. Imagine working in an office building that symbolizes the most promising future for your company. However, since then, the building has changed ownership and is currently undergoing a renovation. The latest news surrounding the Antares is that a new investor, Futureal, has purchased it with the plan to revamp the space. This means it is preparing to shine again.
You can see just how well-placed Antares is. It stands at the edge of the busy area, but just far enough away from the crowded streets. You’ve got the added benefit of easy access to the airport and its southern exit roads. It’s also conveniently close to public transportation, giving you a real sense of flexibility when you’re on the go.
If you’re ever walking in Mokotów and see Antares, this glassy skyscraper with its elegant lines, think of the star it represents and the hopes for the future that were baked into its design. From one of the top floors, you might be able to see all the way to the real star it’s named after, but that’s another story for another time!
