WELL Certification for Vastint’s newest office building in Wrocław
B10 is now one of the highest-rated office buildings in Wrocław across the market’s most recognised certification systems. Joining its existing environmental LEED certification and technological WiredScore rating, the building has now received the WELL certificate at the highest Platinum level. The WELL Building Standard focuses on how the built environment affects people – their health, wellbeing and productivity. This is the first distinction of its kind in Europe for the developer and owner of B10 – Vastint.
B10 is located on Bolkowska Street next to the Wrocław-Mikołajów railway station and adjacent to the Business Garden office centre. Both complexes were designed by the same architectural studio – APA Wojciechowski – ensuring a coherent, human-centred character of the entire development.
The WELL Platinum certification awarded to B10 covers the office section, which offers 14,000 m2 of workspace across five floors. It is the first Vastint building to achieve this certification – and one of only nine buildings in Poland to hold such a high score.
“Although this is the first time we have applied for a WELL certificate, it perfectly reflects our long-held approach to designing and managing properties across 35 years of Vastint’s operations in Europe. WELL certification confirms what has always been most important to us – creating buildings where people simply feel better. In B10 we focused on natural light, healthy materials, flexible layouts and amenities that support the daily rhythm of work,” says David Pettersson, Development & Construction Manager at Vastint Poland.
B10 is characterised by a façade in shades of grey, typical of a calm, Scandinavian-inspired design. The interiors are shaped around the everyday needs of users. The H-shaped layout, high windows and column-free spaces allow for bright, adaptable work areas tailored to multiple workplace models.
The ground floor features a welcoming lobby designed by the London-based turnerbates Design & Architecture studio – a place to meet, relax and recharge. Cyclist-friendly facilities – including lockers, showers and comfortable bike parking – as well as electric vehicle charging stations – support sustainable mobility.
B10 incorporates solutions that benefit both the environment and users’ health & wellbeing, with a strong focus on recyclable construction materials, energy efficiency and rainwater retention. The building includes LED lighting with motion sensors, fixtures reducing light pollution, and high-performing insulation – including a roof covered with a special membrane that helps mitigate the urban heat island effect. Water-saving fittings further reduce consumption.
Adjacent to the office building is the Element by Westin hotel, offering 115 rooms designed for both short- and long-term stays.
In addition to the WELL certification, B10 also holds the environmental certificate LEED v4 Core & Shell on Platinum level – one of only three buildings in Poland – as well as the WiredScore Platinum rating, highlighting the highest standard of digital infrastructure. The main tenant of the office space in B10 is KRUK S.A., which has leased 6,000 m2.
