“Grīziņdārzs” Hosts Sustainable Fashion and Creative Industries Festival Bourzma Boutique

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.

The Development of “Grīziņdārzs” Continues – the Renovation of Building K1A has Begun

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.

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.

“Grīziņdārzs” Expands: the Area Increases by 50%

At the end of last year, the creative city “Grīziņdārzs” took a significant step in its long-term development by acquiring a new land plot at Zemitāna Street 3. The 9,650 m² property includes six buildings, and its acquisition has increased the total area of the office center by 50%.

With this expansion, the total land area of “Grīziņdārzs” has now reached 28,500 m², or nearly 3 hectares, while the combined area of renting and shared spaces has increased to 24,000 m².

By combining the existing and newly acquired areas, greater flexibility is achieved in adapting the site to meet the business market’s needs and implementing new ideas. We are currently actively working on both enhancing the functionality of the existing complex and developing a strategic plan for the newly acquired site. This growth provides a solid foundation for thoughtful development and strengthens “Grīziņdārzs”’s position within Riga’s creative business environment.

Alongside the development of the new sites, we are pleased to observe urban transformations that significantly contribute to the growth of “Grīziņdārzs.” The newly established connection to Brīvības Street enhances accessibility for both visitors and partners. Additionally, the municipal reconstruction of the Zemitāns Bridge and the development of the “Zemitāni” mobility hub further increase the value of the district.

With a focused approach, we continue to unlock the potential of “Grīziņdārzs,” creating an environment where business, culture, and people converge.

New K1A Rooftop Branding Elevates “Grīziņdārzs” in the City Skyline

“Grīziņdārzs” continues to strengthen its presence in Riga’s business environment, adding a new and prominent visual element to the cityscape — a large-scale display of the creative city’s name. Installing the sign on the roof of the K1A building marks an important step in developing the area’s identity. The placement of the sign helps define “Grīziņdārzs” as a modern, creative, and multifunctional office and retail complex, making the area more visible to city residents, partners, and their clients. The name is clearly visible from key vantage points, including Zemitāna Bridge, thereby increasing the recognition of the creative district within the everyday flow of the city.

The sign installation process was carefully planned, with each technical detail considered. It was essential to ensure that the structure met all quality standards and that the name harmoniously fit into the building’s architecture.

As part of strengthening the area’s unified identity, the creative city name will soon also be displayed on the roof of the K3 building, creating a consistent visual identity across the entire “Grīziņdārzs” territory. Ongoing efforts continue to enhance both the individual buildings and the overall image of the creative city. In the near future, tenant logos will also be installed at the main entrance of “Grīziņdārzs,” increasing visibility and recognition for the companies that have chosen to establish and grow their presence here.

Our growth is driven by the ambition to create a truly high-quality business environment and long-term value for every tenant. We strive to build a space where existing tenants feel confident in their choice, while potential tenants clearly see “Grīziņdārzs” as a dynamic and professional location for developing their business.
