We are honoured to receive this recognition – it reflects the professionalism of our team and the assigned cooperation partners, the quality of the project and the ambitious standards we set for ourselves. Its strategic location within the rapidly developing Riga Central Business District and its state-of-the-art infrastructure continue to attract leading companies, strengthening Riga’s competitiveness as a business hub in the Baltic region. I would like to thank our entire team and partners for their exceptional cooperation in delivering this project,” notes Frode Gronvold, Chairman of the Management Board of Linstow Baltic.

SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is a modern, energy-efficient and sustainable Class A office complex developed by Linstow Baltic as part of the Riga Central Business District development initiative. The aim of the project is to create a modern, high-quality and competitive business environment in the very heart of the capital, combining the highest standards of quality, energy performance, technology and architecture. The complex is strategically located next to the city’s main public transport hub and the future Rail Baltica station, providing excellent connectivity both locally and internationally.

The anchor tenant of SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS is SEB Bank, whose relocation of its headquarters to the Riga Central Business District marks a significant milestone in the area’s development. This move further strengthens Riga’s position as an important centre of regional economic activity and enhances its role as a sustainable and competitive business destination in the Baltics.

The centre is located within the block bordered by Elizabetes, Ernesta Birznieka-Upīša, Dzirnavu and Satekles streets, seamlessly integrating into the dynamic environment of Riga Central Railway Station, the Origo One business centre and the Origo shopping centre.

SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRShas been developed in line with the highest architectural, quality and sustainability standards, creating a modern and user-friendly environment for employees and visitors. Demonstrating its conformity to top-level quality and sustainability criteria, the building received international recognition under the BREEAM certification system for the design stage, achieving what was at the time the only rating of such a high level – “Outstanding” – in Latvia. The same certification level is planned to be obtained after the completion of the “post-construction” phase in the near future.

SATEKLES BIZNESA CENTRS has received top recognition in leading Latvian construction and real estate industry competitions. At the Baltic real estate sector’s most significant annual forum, the “BREL Forum Awards 2025”, the project was named “Project of the Year”, winning both the jury vote and the public vote.
