Significant Mobility Improvements Completed in the “Grīziņdārzs” Area

Written by Anete Sprukte on 28.09.2026. Posted in News.

Significant urban infrastructure improvements have been completed in the “Grīziņdārzs” area, including the reconstruction of the Jorģis Zemitāns Bridge and the development of the new Zemitāni Mobility Hub. These improvements make our quarter even more accessible by public transport and train, as well as by bicycle and on foot.

The Zemitāni Mobility Hub provides a convenient connection between the railway station and public transport stops on the Jorģis Zemitāns Bridge. New lifts, escalators, and stairways enable passengers to transfer quickly and conveniently between trains and Riga’s public transport network. At the same time, the reconstructed bridge now features upgraded pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, improving mobility throughout the surrounding area.

These improvements are particularly significant for “Grīziņdārzs”. Better transport connections give our tenants, employees, clients, and business partners more options to choose the most convenient way to reach us, including those who travel to Riga by train as part of their daily commute.

The new infrastructure also complements our own investments in the development of the surrounding area. This year, we completed the extension of Klijānu Street to Brīvības Street, improving access to “Grīziņdārzs” by car. Meanwhile, the Zemitāni Mobility Hub and the renovated Jorģis Zemitāns Bridge significantly strengthen connections to public transport, rail services, cycling routes, and pedestrian infrastructure.

The development of “Grīziņdārzs” and its surrounding urban environment continues, creating an increasingly convenient, accessible, and modern destination for work and business.

Written by Anete Sprukte on 28.07.2026. Posted in News.

This summer has been especially active at the creative city “Grīziņdārzs” – several events have already taken place across our premises, offering the opportunity to enjoy culture, creativity, and positive experiences. The courtyard and spaces of “Grīziņdārzs” are increasingly becoming a meeting point for diverse communities, businesses, and creative initiatives, creating opportunities to experience something new beyond everyday routines.

One of this summer’s events was a painting workshop for the Evolution Latvia team, organised in collaboration with the painting studio Mākslas pietura. It provided the company’s employees with a unique opportunity to step away from their daily work responsibilities and enjoy a relaxing, creative experience together.

The Riga Classic Cars gathering brought together car enthusiasts and owners in the courtyard of “Grīziņdārzs”, creating a welcoming atmosphere where participants could share their passion for automotive culture.

Meanwhile, our unique bunker space hosted the glass art exhibition Pārmaiņas (Changes), created by interior design students from the University of Economics and Culture.

We are truly delighted that every year an increasing number of representatives from both the public and private sectors choose the creative city “Grīziņdārzs” as a venue for their events. To date, “Grīziņdārzs” has successfully fulfilled its original vision of creating a welcoming and modern environment for business and culture by hosting a wide range of local and international events. These have included the sustainable fashion festival Bourzma Boutique, the contemporary art festival Survival Kit 16, and Riga Art Week, which attracted more than 11,000 visitors.

On May 21 and 22 of this year, the sustainable fashion festival Bourzma Boutique took place in Riga, bringing together designers, representatives of creative industries, partners, and visitors from Latvia and other European countries over the course of two days.

The festival highlighted themes of sustainable fashion, circular economy, and modern urban environments, demonstrating the importance of creative and interdisciplinary events in today’s city life.

The second day of the festival took place in “Grīziņdārzs”, where visitors were offered a diverse program – a designer market, creative activities, musical performances, and freestyle dance competitions. The event also featured participation from companies such as SEB banka, AJ Power, and Latvijas Pasts, as well as brands like Pols and Lakto.

“This year we very strongly felt that a true community has formed around the festival. Both the sold-out fashion show and the full “Grīziņdārzs” on the second day showed that society values platforms where fashion, music, and ideas about a more sustainable future come together,” says festival organizer Patriks Kirkils.

The Bourzma Boutique festival taking place in “Grīziņdārzs” further confirms that a creative and contemporary environment can become a meeting point for culture, fashion, and various community initiatives. We are pleased that “Grīziņdārzs” is being chosen as a platform for events where creativity, the urban environment, and diverse programming organically come together, strengthening its position as an active and multifunctional business center.

Written by Anete Sprukte on 14.04.2026. Posted in News.

The development of the “Grīziņdārzs” quarter continues with another major milestone — the renovation of Building 1A has now started. Upon completion, the building will offer a modern, energy-efficient, and highly functional environment for businesses, further advancing the district’s gradual transformation into a well-organized and inspiring space for work and growth.

As part of the renovation, the building is undergoing significant improvements — window openings are being enlarged and new windows installed, and the façade is being fully insulated to improve energy efficiency. For the comfort of visitors and employees, the stairwell is being renovated, and a new, modern entrance area is being constructed. The renovated section will also feature completely new engineering systems, including modern heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, ensuring a high level of comfort.

Interested parties can already apply to lease space, without waiting for the completion of the renovation. On the 2nd and 3rd floors of Building K1A, we offer spacious and flexible premises (345.0 m² per floor), which can be adapted to suit your company’s needs. Each floor accommodates approximately 35 workstations, while combining both floors allows for an office with more than 80 workstations. The premises will be available from July 2026, and tenants will also benefit from landlord support during the fit-out process.

With each renovated building, the “Grīziņdārzs” quarter continues to expand its offer of high-quality business premises. The renovation of Building K1A further strengthens this direction, reinforcing the district’s position as one of the city’s leading business hubs.

A new office of Evolution has opened in the creative city of “Grīziņdārzs,” becoming a significant addition to the area’s tenant community. The office premises span three floors, covering a total area of 2,500 m², tailored to meet the company’s operational needs. A modern office space has been established on the first floor, while studios are located on the second and third floors.

Evolution’s decision to choose “Grīziņdārzs” was driven by several key factors – well-developed infrastructure, a strategically convenient location, and the flexibility to adapt the premises to the company’s specific needs. The environment was also an important consideration, providing comfortable working conditions and supporting the company’s continued growth.

Alongside the premises adaptations carried out by Evolution, “Grīziņdārzs” implemented several improvements to provide the new tenant with a high-quality and modern working environment. The building façade was renovated, landscaping works were carried out, and a decorative ramp was constructed along the building, ensuring more convenient access and improved accessibility. The quality of the working environment is further supported by the building’s A-level energy efficiency and engineering solutions, which ensure a high level of comfort and a stable indoor climate throughout the year.

Evolution, as an international company, has chosen “Grīziņdārzs,” demonstrating the quarter’s ability to offer a high-quality, modern environment adaptable to business needs. The presence of such tenants increasingly defines the direction in which “Grīziņdārzs” aims to develop.
