Poland’s leading premium serviced office operator, The Shire – Beyond Coworking, has signed a lease agreement for approximately 2,000 sqm at Poznań Financial Centre (PFC) on ul. Władysława Andersa 5. This is the company’s first location in Poznań and its 11th location nationwide. The official opening is scheduled for October 2026.
The Shire – Where You Don’t Have to Manage Your Office
Hybrid work and rising expectations for workplace quality are transforming the office market – particularly in major regional cities. Companies today are seeking spaces that combine prestigious locations with flexibility, high service standards, and a ready-to-use work environment from day one. The Shire – Beyond Coworking addresses this exact need.
The serviced office model differs fundamentally from traditional coworking and conventional leasing. Companies move into a fully-equipped, private office with their own branding and receive reception, IT support, cleaning, coffee, and conference rooms as standard. No investment in fit-out or equipment, no negotiation of multi-year contracts. Complete flexibility – from one month, from just two workstations. The Shire’s network of partners is also available across IT, HR, recruitment, legal services, and marketing.
“Partnering with Adventum and joining PFC is a very important milestone in The Shire’s development. Poznań is a mature and demanding market, so from the very beginning we knew we wanted to enter it with a project that would bring fresh energy and a different approach to the workplace experience. PFC will be one of the key locations in our further expansion, because this is only the beginning. Over the next two years, we plan to establish a presence in all of Poland’s largest cities.” – says Rafał Pisklewicz, Managing Partner, The Shire – Beyond Coworking.
Poznań Financial Centre – A Prestigious Address in the City’s Business Heart
The Shire will occupy the 9th and 10th floors of PFC – a 16-storey building (91 metres high) with BREEAM certification and the city’s second-tallest office tower. The location on ul. Władysława Andersa 5, near Stary Browar and the Old Town, offers outstanding accessibility: bus and tram stops, cycling routes, the main railway station, and Poznań Główny station all within 1 km. The offices on the highest floors will offer occupants one of the city’s most spectacular panoramic views.
Yet the PFC location offers more than just a premium address and a view. The building recently underwent a comprehensive refurbishment of its common areas – new changing rooms and shower facilities for cyclists have been added, and solar panels have been installed to reduce operating costs and align with the owner’s ESG strategy. Despite challenging market conditions, PFC has concluded new lease agreements for over 3,000 sqm this year, achieving 70% occupancy.
“When you’re standing on the 10th floor of PFC and looking out over the Old Town and Stary Browar, you understand why Poznań was an obvious choice for us. But this place offers much more than just the view, we are bringing the full The Shire standard here: private offices ready from day one and a level of service that companies expect when they want to grow flexibly and without long-term commitments. Poznań is a very conscious and mature office market, and we see significant room here for high-quality, flexible workspaces.” – says Oskar Odziemczyk, Managing Partner, The Shire – Beyond Coworking.
