It is a noteworthy part of the industrial history of Warsaw’s Wola district. The LightOn office building opens a new chapter in the historical identity of Warsaw’s Wola district. Its name and architecture refer to the industrial heritage of Prosta 69, where technological solutions are flawlessly combined with user-friendly infrastructure and a mixed-use environment, creating a space that supports work, living, and leisure.
