In the very centre of Riga, within the dynamic Riga Central Business District, a carefully reconstructed office building is available, combining architectural heritage with a modern, sustainable and technologically advanced working environment. Located on Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša Street, this historic building offers a distinctive workspace with a strong architectural identity, bringing together prestige, quality and functionality tailored to contemporary business needs. It creates a refined and representative environment that ensures comfort, efficiency and a clearly recognisable presence in today’s business landscape.

The 19th-century historic office building forms part of the Class A office complex “SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS” – one of the most modern and sustainable developments in the Baltics – offering tenants a high-value working environment with an exceptional location, infrastructure and architectural identity.

The historic two-storey building with a mansard roof has been fully reconstructed, restoring its façade and architectural details to their original visual quality. At the same time, it incorporates modern engineering solutions that fully meet Class A office standards.

“SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS” is a 12,000 m² office complex, opened in 2025, consisting of three interconnected buildings where heritage and modernity merge into a unified architectural and functional concept. The historic office building gives the project its unique identity, creating a space where Riga’s cultural heritage meets the future of work.

Originally built around 1870, the building has served multiple functions over time – initially as a residential house, later as an orphanage and also as a place of worship for the local Jewish community. Today, it has been fully reconstructed, preserving its authentic architectural character and cultural significance.

This approach reflects the values of Riga’s historic centre, where wooden architecture plays a key role in the city’s identity and has contributed to its inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Strategic location and a complete business ecosystem

“SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS” is located in one of the most strategic areas of Riga – quarter bordered by Elizabetes, Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša, Dzirnavu and Satekles streets – forming a unified, multifunctional urban ecosystem alongside “Riga Central Railway Station”, the “Origo One” business centre and the “Origo” shopping centre.

The historic office building offers a unique opportunity for companies seeking high-quality office space within a fully developed business environment. A separate entrance from Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša Street, street-level access and display windows expand the potential for commercial use, while the flexible layout allows for the creation of a representative office environment.

Direct access to the main multimodal transport hub and the future Rail Baltica infrastructure ensures excellent connectivity both locally and internationally. The surrounding infrastructure – including dining, services and retail – creates a convenient and fully equipped environment for companies and their teams.

Sustainability as the standard for future offices

Sustainability and energy efficiency are core principles in the development of “SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS”, as confirmed by the highest BREEAM “Outstanding” rating ever achieved in the Baltics. This reflects the project’s high quality, forward-thinking approach and long-term value for tenants. Integrated climate control, energy management and smart building systems ensure efficient resource use while enhancing comfort and workplace quality.

Today, it stands as one of the most modern and sustainable office complexes in central Riga, offering future-ready infrastructure for business growth and operational efficiency. At the same time, it serves as a key driver of the “Riga Central Business District”, strengthening Riga’s competitiveness across the Baltic region.

“SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS” is also among the most awarded new real estate developments in Latvia, having received multiple prestigious industry recognitions.
