“ The park also boasts ample green spaces , landscaped gardens , and relaxing outdoor areas , to allow individuals to unwind and find inspiration in a pleasant , refreshing atmosphere . This is one of the ways that the park goes beyond being just a physical space , instead becoming a cultural one too .
“ The park strives to foster a sense of community and collaboration among tenants through various networking events , like seminars , workshops , and an annual concert ,” Dariusz details . “ These events create an environment that encourages innovation , entrepreneurship , and knowledge sharing . With this in mind , The Park Hub has just opened , offering professionals a dedicated space to connect and build relationships .”
White Star is using this model to create another complex in the southern part of Poland – in Kraków . The Park Kraków will eventually comprise eight office buildings , totaling around 100,000 square metres of high-quality office rental space . Dariusz explains : “ The Park Kraków has been designed according to biophilic design principles , which , as studies confirm , support productivity and creativity , and enhance the wellbeing of the individuals working in such an environment .
“ The project also incorporates numerous sustainable features , like photovoltaic panels on the roof to power the site with green energy , and a water consumption
optimization system that uses rainwater for irrigation purposes ,” he adds .
As part of its renewed focus on ESG , the business is deepening its commitment to social responsibility through the White Star Foundation , which has been supporting nonprofit organizations since its foundation in 2007 by Brian Patterson , Founding Partner of White Star Real Estate . Focusing on helping children in difficult life situations , the foundation supports four organizations : Big Brothers Big Sisters of Poland , Family for Family , Katalyst Education , and Katalyst Engineering .
“ We carefully consider our areas of social influence when undertaking outreach activities , deeming our most influential areas as education and engineering ,” Dariusz explains . “ Our work with Katalyst Education acts as an incubator of innovation and supports effective learning methodologies . It strives to level out the playing field for all Polish students by developing digital , opensource , and high-quality educational tools and services that are all entirely free of charge ! Through these activities , the foundation reaches out to children who are excluded from educational opportunities .
“ Katalyst Engineering , on the other hand , captures the imagination of elementary school children , cultivating an early interest in the engineering field ,” he details . “ It provides a fully supported , collaborative , and handson learning curriculum as part of its mission to establish a positive , attractive reputation around careers in engineering .”
With a plethora of projects underway and in the pipeline , White Star is sure to succeed . Dariusz humbly concludes : “ Our strategy remains the same moving forward , which is providing top quality real estate solutions to our tenants , clients and investors .” ■
