History and construction

The Olivia Business Centre was first proposed in 2009 by an eponymous investment group,[10] with work on the first building, Olivia Gate, beginning in March 2010.[11] The next two buildings to be completed were Olivia Point and Olivia Tower, both opened in January 2013.[12] The next building, completed in March 2014, was Olivia Four.[5] Once the fifth building, Olivia Six, was completed in May 2015,[13] the Olivia Business Centre became the second-largest business park in Poland.[14]

In April 2015, work began on Olivia Star, the next part of the park and the tallest building in northern Poland.[15] It was completed in April 2018 and has a total height of 180 metres (590 ft).[8] The next component, Olivia Prime A, another skyscraper, was completed in 2018, and the accompanying Prime B was completed in 2020.[16][7] Olivia Eight, another building, was completed in December 2019.[9] Since 2023, two apartment buildings, Olivia Nord and Olivia Nowa, are being built.[17] The construction of another such building, Olivia Pulse, was proposed in February 2025.[18]
