The IT&C field of activity, from which the star tenants in 2017 come, who usually requested and rented premium office buildings, has a different structure of office rentals in the first six months of 2017.
The largest share of total rents from IT&C companies was occupied by the office segment between 5,000 and 10,000 sqm. According to the study conducted by ESOP Consulting, a much smaller percentage of only 6% was the segment of spaces under 1,000 sqm.
