Childcare facility to open in Alchemia

The preschool will open in March 2020, offering 100 spaces and its own outdoor playground.The preschool is intended primarily for the children of office workers in Alchemia and nearby buildings to allow them to better balance their family and work commitments. It will be the first KIDS&Co. location in the Pomeranian voivodeship, though the company is already established across Poland.

The new preschool is sure to attract the interest of local office workers and their employers too, many of which offer to support their teams by covering their preschool-related expenses. This reflects the growing trend to help increase the efficiency of employees’ work-related activities. The preschool will be also open for the children of the local residents. KIDS&Co. offers an innovative early education curriculum based on bilingualism, an immune system-boosting macrobiotic diet and a special child development program emphasising social skills and emotional intelligence.

The new tenant has leased over 460 sq. of space in the ground section of the NEON building, including a 350 sq. m outdoor play area.

The preschool in the NEON building marks the next stage in the development of KIDS&Co. and the entire ensemble of food and retail services on offer at Alchemia. There is over a dozen restaurants, bar and cafes available, including well-known franchises and smaller enterprises, as well as convenience stores, bank branches and a job agency. The new Body&Mind Clinic in the NEON building offers a selection of physiotherapeutic services, relaxing massages, psychological and speech therapy consultations, diet planning, personal training and specialist workshops. Alchemia is also home to the largest sports and recreation centre in Tricity, with swimming pools and saunas (Aquastacja), gym (Zdrofit), sports hall (Sportstacja) and indoor climbing (Funclimb).

One of the leading commercial developers in Poland, Torus has delivered over 160,000 sq. m of lease space to the Tricity office market as part of several completed investments, with more on the way (Officyna, Format). The company has finalised six sales transactions of its office properties to five different funds (five Arkońska Business Park buildings and three stages of Alchemia) for a total amount of nearly 280m EUR. This makes Torus responsible for the majority (approximately 65%) of the total office transaction volume realised by Tricity developers.
