As part of a focused investment strategy to develop the Riga Central Business District, one of the Baltic region’s leading real estate developers, Linstow Baltic, has officially commissioned the newly built SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS, a Class A office complex with a total area of 13 500 m². This investment significantly strengthens the strategic importance of the surrounding area as a key business hub in the very heart of Riga. The owner’s total investment in the construction of the project amounts to €36 million.

“For several decades, Linstow Baltic has been one of the leading real estate developers, actively contributing to the development and transformation of the Riga Central Business District, making it more attractive to residents, professionals, and investors. This is evidenced by the company’s consistent and strategic investments in the area, including major projects such as the expansion of the Origo shopping centre and the development of the Origo One A-class office centre. The SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS marks the next step in the district’s revitalisation, fostering a sustainable and competitive business environment and strengthening its position as one of the leading business hubs in the Baltics. It expands the supply of high-quality offices and commercial spaces in the heart of Riga while serving as a model for harmoniously integrating cultural heritage with a technologically advanced and modern working environment,” emphasizes Frode Grønvold, Linstow Baltic’s Chairman of the Board.

The new SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is a key part of the Riga Central Business District. It consists of three interconnected buildings, including the integration of one wooden building that is part of the city’s cultural-historical heritage. The project is a balanced combination of modern working environment solutions and the preservation of historical architecture.

The building is equipped with energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable technologies that not only improve resource efficiency but also enhance the wellbeing of its tenants. Strategically located next to the main multimodal public transport hub and the future Rail Baltica line, it offers excellent mobility and access within Riga, the region, and internationally – providing added value for tenants and their employees.

SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is designed for companies that value a strategic location, high-quality infrastructure, and modern, sustainable solutions. The anchor tenant of the main building is SEB banka. The remaining buildings offer flexible office and commercial space solutions ranging from 120 to 400 m² per floor, with a total of 2,200 m² still available – making it accessible for businesses of various sizes to operate in a technologically advanced, environmentally conscious, and employee-friendly environment in central Riga.

The SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS has been developed to meet the highest standards of architecture, quality, and sustainability, ensuring a modern and welcoming environment for both employees and visitors. Certifying SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS’s compliance with the highest quality standards and outstanding sustainability solutions, in the autumn of 2023, it received international recognition according to the BREEAM building certification system for a design stage, which – at that time – had the only outstanding rating in Latvia. It is also planned that a certificate of this level will be received after the site has entered its service.

Located between Elizabetes, Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša, Dzirnavu, and Satekles streets, the SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is seamlessly integrated into the surroundings of the Riga Central Railway Station, the Origo One business centre, and the Origo shopping centre. It marks an important continuation in the development of Riga’s Central Business District, where Linstow Baltic has already implemented major projects and further strengthened its position in 2023 by acquiring seven additional land plots in the area – reaffirming its status as a leading player in the Riga office space and commercial real estate market.

The Class A office complex SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is being developed by one of the leading real estate developers in the Baltics – Linstow Baltic. The architectural design and author supervision were carried out by the general partnership SN&L (Sarma & Norde Arhitekti and Lauder Architects), based on the site’s specific context and in accordance with the highest standards of quality, functionality, and sustainability. The project has been envisioned as a modern and sustainable business environment with a high-quality public space integrated into the urban landscape. Construction began in 2023 and is being implemented by Bukoteks Ltd., with technical supervision provided by the engineering consultancy team at Forma 2 Ltd. Legal support and advisory services are ensured by Sorainen ZAB Ltd., while the BREEAM certification process and management were overseen by certified specialists from the Lithuanian audit firm SEES Group UAB, ensuring compliance with international sustainability standards at every stage of the project.
