Diuna has welcomed a new tenant
Drabik Legal Group has joined the group of tenants at our Diuna office complex to take up 250 sq m of space.
The law firm DRABIK Radcowie Prawni i Adwokaci sp.k. has 15 years of experience in the market. During this time it has advised 262 clients. The team of attorneys, legal counsels and administrative staff consists of approximately 30 people. The firm specialises mainly in litigation. It practices in energy law, corporate services and the broader real estate market, including primarily construction litigation. The flagship business of the law firm is the handling of receivables as part of the court-enforcement process for the recovery of debts from debtors in both civil and criminal litigation.
Our development strategy is a socially responsible business. We are eco. Therefore, it was natural to choose the modernised Diana for our new office, says Leszek Drabik, Legal Counsel and founder of the law firm. We have implemented a number of pro-environmental solutions in our new office, because we realise that even small changes in the functioning of any office out of concern for the environment can significantly improve the state of nature, as well as the health of people and animals.
We welcome the DRABIK law firm to our green deck. We are pleased that the law firm’s business strategy is based on care for the environment. It harmonises well with our mission, as well as with the modernisation process of Diuna, which, thanks to the introduced solutions, has become one of the most environmentally friendly office complexes in the capital,’ says Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.
Spaces at Diuna for UNICEF Poland and WIOSNA Association
Syrena Real Estate, managing Diuna office complex in Warsaw’s Służewiec district, has made spaces available free of charge for statutory activities of UNICEF Poland and the WIOSNA Association. Both organisations have launched their activities and are running initiatives.
UNICEF has been active in Poland since 1962, focusing on improving the living conditions of children. Since 2002, the organisation’s mission includes representing the interests of children, defending and promoting their rights, and raising funds for aid projects run by UNICEF worldwide. The organisation has allocated 80 sq. m of space provided in the Diuna complex to its fundraiser team. This is more than an office of UNICEF’s Warsaw team: it is also a place for meetings, training, and recruiting new staff from all over Poland. UNICEF Poland’s presence in the complex was made possible by Syrena Real Estate’s cooperation with the Lepszy Służewiec association, which has been active in the district for nearly 8 years, supporting office workers, tenants, and property owners and managers, as well as Służewiec residents.
The WIOSNA Association is one of the largest NGOs in Poland, known among others for its nationwide project “Noble Gift”. The Association will use the space in Building B of the Diuna complex for its Future Academy programme, an initiative which supports children and young people in developing their interests and improving their self-esteem and confidence. As part of the Academy programme, volunteers will receive training in Diuna’s meeting rooms at weekends, preparing them for their roles.
“It is a great pleasure for us to support the activities of such reputable organisations as UNICEF Poland and the WIOSNA Association. Diuna is the perfect place for such activities. The modernisation of the complex that we have completed was aimed at adding new functions to the project beyond office infrastructure and at opening it up to different groups. We are proud that Diuna’s spaces serve initiatives which bring real value to communities and change people’s lives for the better,” said Witold Zatoński, founder of Syrena Real Estate.
VETERIO OPENS ITS DOORS TO PATIENTS IN DIUNE
Veterio animal clinic has become the next tenant of our complex in Warsaw’s Służewiec district. The facility, which belongs to the LuxVet Group, has taken up 2,200 sq m of space on two levels of Building A.
Veterio is Poland’s first referral veterinary clinic providing multi-specialist services. The clinic deals with complex cases that require advanced diagnostics, unique expertise and specialised equipment, and does not provide services for basic veterinary procedures. The centre in Diun has two departments. The first is a 24/7 open emergency department. The second is a referral ward, which includes 12 specialised wards that are being opened successively. advanced diagnostic equipment and an operating theatre with five rooms. The facility accepts animals referred by other veterinarians as well as difficult and emergency cases submitted by carers.
‘We are extremely pleased to welcome the Veterio clinic as a new tenant in our Diuna complex. We are confident that such a specialised facility will raise the standard of four-legged care not only for Diuna’s employees, but also for the community as a whole. The process of modernising the Diuna complex was intended to open up this space to residents. We hope that by introducing the services of the Veterio veterinary clinic to the general public, we are getting closer to achieving this goal’ – says Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.
Green Caffè Nero opened its doors in Diuna
On September 20th, the 82nd Green Caffè Nero café was opened in the Diuna office complex. The location occupies 200 sqm on the ground floor of one of the four buildings in the complex.
Green Caffè Nero is an independent European premium coffee chain, created by combining the experience of Warsaw’s Green Coffee cafés and the international Caffè Nero brand. Currently, the chain operates 68 cafés in Warsaw, 9 in Krakow, and 4 in Wrocław. Since the opening of the first location in 2012, Green Caffè Nero has been fulfilling its mission to create spaces that act as hubs for local communities. The café interiors are designed in collaboration with Polish artists and craftsmen, emphasizing the unique character of each location. In the Diuna café, natural materials such as wood, stone, and metal, along with a hand-carved bar and brick tiles, were used in the interior design.
“The design of the café in Diuna reflects the industrial history of the district where our newest location is situated, with references to older office spaces and industrial plants. Inside, you’ll find metal elements, old desks, and equipment. We also wanted to highlight the proximity of the airport, located just one kilometer away in a straight line, so we are showcasing photos by Zbyszek Siemaszko and others from the National Digital Archive on the café’s walls. The café also features large windows, allowing greenery and sunlight to flood the interior. The architects also created cozy corners with comfortable furniture and walls adorned with rich oak paneling,” says Dorota Pomacho-Pątkiewicz, CEO of Green Caffè Nero.
The café is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Customers can enjoy specialty coffee, freshly baked baguettes in various flavors, sandwiches, lunch options, and a wide selection of homemade cakes and pastries.
“We are extremely pleased with the opening of Green Caffè Nero in the Diuna complex, which not only enhances our offering for tenants but also opens the complex to the local community. This is a space that will surely become a meeting place, a spot for relaxation and the exchange of ideas, both for employees and local residents. The new café features an 80 sqm outdoor seating area along Taśmowa Street and additional seating facing the new courtyard of our complex, which can be admired while sipping delicious coffee,” says Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.
Tenants Stay at Diuna
More companies have decided to extend their leases in the Diuna office complex, part of the portfolio of Syrena Real Estate. Colgate-Palmolive Services Poland and LUX MED, which has expanded its operations with the Harmonia Mental Health Clinic, both remain in the heart of Warsaw’s Służewiec district.
LUX MED Group, a leading provider of private medical services in Poland, has not only extended the lease for its Medical Centre of over 880 sq. m but also opened the Harmonia Mental Health Clinic, which occupies an additional 270 sq. m. The new facility addresses the growing demand for specialist mental health care. Patients can use convenient forms of consultation: face-to-face visit, telephone consultation, or video chat. The new counselling centre will offer consultations with a psychiatrist and psychologist for children and adults, therapy and psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families, support groups and psychological diagnosis, such as autism spectrum disorders or ADHD diagnosis.
Colgate-Palmolive Services Poland has also decided to continue its lease. The shared services centre of the leading global manufacturer of products for oral care, personal care, hygiene products, cosmetics and pet nutrition has been leasing the office space in the complex at 7 Taśmowa Street since 2008. The company has now extended its lease at the Diuna complex for a further term.
“Both companies, LUX MED and Colgate-Palmolive Services Poland, have been tenants of Diuna for years, and the extension of their leases in our complex confirms its status as a first-class business centre. Equally important — their presence also highlights our shared values: innovation, health, and social responsibility. We are also extremely pleased that the “Harmonia” Mental Health Clinic was established here in Diuna, as we understand how crucial it is to care for mental well-being,” said Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.
Veterio Animal Clinic Opens in Diuna
Our office complex in Warsaw’s Służewiec district will host another health care facility – one for animals. Diuna, part of the portfolio of Syrena Real Estate, will be home to the Veterio clinic created by LuxVet Group. The modern treatment facility will occupy an area of more than 2,200 sq. m. It is scheduled to open in September 2024.
LuxVet Group supports the transition of the Polish veterinary care industry through acquisitions and investments in the development of existing veterinary care facilities and synergistically linked providers of value added services to the industry. LuxVet has nearly 50 clinics and outpatient clinics in its portfolio and is the largest consolidator of the veterinary market in Poland. The Group’s mission aiming to raise the standards of work and quality of services in the veterinary sector is supported with capital by three investment funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Cornerstone Investment Management, and INVL Baltic Sea Growth Fund.
The Veterio clinic on Taśmowa Street in Warsaw is a state-of-the-art 24/7 animal treatment facility with an emergency unit, an intensive care unit, and specialist wards. Veterio will occupy more than 2,200 sq. m on two levels of Building A. The medical facility is divided into two main departments. The 24/7 emergency department with an intensive care unit will be responsible for emergency and critical cases. The referral ward will comprise specialist sub-departments: surgery, orthopaedics, cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, endoscopy, imaging, internal medicine, and anaesthesiology. Oncology and dentistry will be added in the future. The facility is being outfitted with high-end equipment (including MRI, CT scanner, and X-ray) enabling advanced surgical and diagnostic procedures to be performed under one roof. However, basic veterinary procedures will not be performed there.
“Veterio is a centre for advanced veterinary care modelled after multi-specialist animal hospitals of the world. It is one of the most modern veterinary facilities in this part of Europe. A team of experienced veterinary doctors and technicians will provide our patients with the best possible medical assistance. Cooperation with surgeries and clinics across the country will allow us to create a support network for animals which require specialised treatment and diagnostics,” said Piotr Zajączkowski, President of LuxVet Group.
“The presence of the Veterio clinic in Diuna is another step in our complex opening up to different customer groups. Inclusivity has been one of our top priorities in the modernisation process. We have replaced a concrete car park with a beautiful green park and removed all fences and barriers to allow not only the employees of the complex but also the neighbours and the local community to use this space. Now a world-class veterinary clinic will join the publicly accessible services of the complex,” said Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.
Diuna triumphs at CEEQA 2024
Diuna, the flagship project of PineBridge Benson Elliot and Syrena Real Estate, has been honored with the ESG Champion Building title at the prestigious CEEQA 2024 gala. This recognition is a testament to the efforts in ecology, social responsibility, and management, as well as a confirmation of the continuous evolution in the commercial real estate industry.
Diuna, formerly known as Marynarska Business Park, has undergone a comprehensive transformation, becoming a model of modernity and sustainable development. Its revitalization not only changed the image of the complex but also raised the standards of energy efficiency and user comfort. Diuna has been adapted to current market standards, and the introduced changes included, among others, the revitalization of external areas and the reconstruction of the entrance lobbies of the four buildings. A concrete parking area of 6,000 sqm has been transformed into a publicly accessible park with 50 trees, 96 species of shrubs, a stream, and an educational pavilion. Thanks to the revitalization, it was possible to significantly reduce the carbon footprint and increase the attractiveness of the complex for tenants.
The main designer of the new version of Diuna is MJZstudio Architectural Studio, and the interiors were designed by Łoskiewicz Studio. The reconstruction was carried out by Reesco Group, and project management was provided by cmT Sp. z o.o.

The décor of each café is co-created by Polish artists and craftsmen, from the staircase to the finish of the bar. The café interior is based on natural materials: wood, stone, and metal.
