HISTORY

Ghelamco Group was established by Paul Gheysens in Belgium in 1985. The company started as a general contractor focusing on industrial real estate. As the company grew, we expanded our operations to small offices and residential projects in Belgium. In the early nineties, Ghelamco Group identified opportunities in the Polish offices, warehousing and residential market. This heralded a highly successful expansion into that Central European country, where we have now gained invaluable experience in obtaining and executing building permits for the best available land plots.

Ghelamco Poland is active on Polish market since 1991 and through the years became one of the leaders in commercial real estate. The company specialises in delivering class A office space, warehouses, and also high-class residential projects. So far Ghelamco has delivered over 400 000 sq m of modern office space to the Polish market and sold 15 projects in Poland for 850 000 mln EURO. Ghelamco's developments shape the image of Warsaw, located in prestigious business locations such as the city centre, Wola and Mokotów districts. Other investments are located in developing regions such as Wrocław and Katowice. Within next 4 years company plans to deliver another 400 000 sqm of office space, from which over 160 000 sqm are already under construction. Ghelamco observes professional standards and ensures high quality of its developments, while applying sustainable building solutions. The company was the first developer in Poland to receive the most popular ecological BREEAM certificate for office building in Poland.
