  • 1  production and research unit, an area of 197,65m2 – intended for rent;
  • 4  production units, an area approx. 200 m2 – intended for rent;
  • 5  production units, an area approx. 155 m2 – intended for rent;

Social-office part includes:

  • property management office (3 office rooms with a total area of approx. 90m2);
  • 20 office rooms (with an area of ok.26 m2);
  • New – OPEN OFFICE SPACE (5 posts for 1 person / 4 double position   / meeting hall for 10 people);
  • 2 training rooms (for 25 and 48 people);
  • meeting hall – (approx. 20 persons);
