Insurance and risk management broker "Marsh" becomes the new tenant of office complex "Verde"
Riga's greenest office complex "Verde" continues to expand its tenant portfolio, signing a new long-term agreement with “Marsh”, the world's leading insurance and risk management broker, in March this year. The deal will see the Latvian branch of “Marsh” relocated to the 3rd floor of “Verde's” Building A.
The new 250 m2 “Marsh” office will accommodate up to 18 workplaces, thus supporting company’s future development in terms of the attraction of new employees. Currently, in cooperation with “Interior design studio DVI”, work is already underway on the interior design of the office. Construction work will begin shortly, so that “Marsh” can successfully move into its new premises by the end of the summer, 2024.
Zintis Gaspažiņš, CEO of “Marsh” in Latvia, says: "There were several reasons why we decided to move to “Verde” and these two were the most important ones. Firstly, we want to provide our employees with a modern and comfortable working environment. And secondly, having an office in a sustainable building is a testament to “Marsh” strategy in the context of sustainability and the Green Deal."
"With over 150 years of experience and more than 130 offices (45,000 employees) worldwide, “Marsh” is a leading insurance and risk management broker, providing industry-focused, modern insurance solutions and advice to its clients. “Marsh” has been operating in Latvia and the Baltics for more than 20 years and is one of the leading insurance brokers in the corporate segment, giving its clients access to world-class solutions and knowledge centers.
Iveta Lāce, Commercial Director and Member of the Board of the office complex "Verde": "With each new transaction we are getting closer to our business goal - to fully lease both buildings. We have now reached the 90% mark, and the start of our cooperation with “Marsh” has really boosted this. I am confident that the employees of this professional insurance and risk management company will welcome the opportunity to work in an environment that promotes productivity and well-being, as we offer it here at “Verde”."
“Marsh” was represented and advised in the transaction by “CBRE Baltics”, a property consultancy, and “TGS Baltic”, a law firm. “Verde” was represented by “Colliers”, Latvia's leading real estate agency, which is not only the leasing but also the management partner of this A-class office complex.
Anna Lalova, Associate Director of Colliers Baltics Office Agency, says:"The palette of tenants of the “Verde” business complex continues to grow and is joined by well-known international brands operating also in the Latvian market. Companies that take care of their employees by offering them a place to work in an excellent modern environment are definitely also reliable providers of their services to their clients. We are delighted with the deal we have just signed with insurance provider “Marsh”, which will add to the “Verde” community and will definitely fit in perfectly with the existing tenants."
