Any person who works in the creative industries will agree that history is a powerful source of inspiration. We have better tools, instruments, and solutions than ever before, but that does not mean that we are turning our backs on things that have not only survived through the ages but have also become iconic. This is how the story of ZEISS OFFICES \u2013 an upcoming Class A office building in M\u016aKU SALA \u2013 begins. Why was this building given such a name? What is the source of its historical inspiration? And why did it take almost two decades to get this project off the ground?<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 years of development<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Development is the measure of not only the prospects of the territory, but also of the growth of society. In recent years, several neighbourhoods of Riga have experienced unprecedented prosperity - neglected or long forgotten areas have now become cultural and business centres, and this development is based on the well-being of the city's inhabitants.<\/p>\n

The territory adjacent to M\u016bkusalas Street has also experienced such a development. Historically, it has been an industrial territory for the last several centuries - factories were created here starting with the 19th century, and this trajectory was largely dictated by the location - the proximity of the Daugava and the historical centre of the city. Times are changing, but not the benefits of M\u016bkusala - its location is still an extremely attractive feature.<\/p>\n

The building of the National Library of Latvia and the Academic Centre of the University of Latvia are not the only milestones in the development of \u201cthe near P\u0101rdaugava\u201d. Among these projects are also the forthcoming reconstruction of the Daugava promenade of the left bank and the territory of M\u016aKU SALA - an environment created for business and leisure, the development of which has been active for the last 20 years, and the result is obvious - such well-known companies as Delfi, Bolt, Tele2, Cognizant, and many other market leaders in their industries now reside here. However, it is not over yet - other significant projects are currently being planned and implemented here, the first of which is \u201cZEISS OFFICES\u201d - a Class A office building that combines modern solutions and the historical aura of M\u016aKU SALA.<\/p>\n
