The Preses Nams district sits in an ideal location for entrepreneurship – only 15 minutes away from Riga International Airport and within walking distance from the Old Town. The second stage of construction envisages the building of a multifunctional office center, supplementing the Latvian capital with modern infrastructure and a sustainable work environment for business. We are honored to develop this project together with the experienced PLH Arkitekter team. The experience of Danish architects is inestimable in developing the ambition of Preses Namas district – to become not only a central business district but also a place for leisure. The building’s functional layout as well as the green landscaping solutions near Zunda Channel will make it into a hub for business and a modern meeting point.

Giedrius Bernotas, Fund Manager, Lords LB Asset Management

At PLH, we’re incredibly proud that our expertise and design are helping set the standard for what will become one of Riga's most attractive business districts. Along with our local partners, we’ve employed innovative and green solutions to create a dynamic, future-proof workplace. At the same time, it’s been important for us that we also make a positive contribution to the community. So, the area will not only get a new building, but also a new indoor avenue with café, restaurant and direct access to the green area by the water.
