Grīziņdārzs 2024: A Year of Transformation, Creativity, and Community

Looking Back at 2024: A Year of Growth and Gratitude
As we reflect on 2024, we are filled with deep gratitude and pride for all that we have accomplished. This year has been exceptional for Grīziņdārzs—marked by significant achievements and inspiring transformations. None of this would have been possible without you—our dedicated tenants, architects, builders, and partners. Your support and trust are the foundation of Grīziņdārzs’ growth.
Major Achievements of the Year
2024 was defined by several key milestones:
- K2 Building Facade Renovation: The modernization of the K2 building has created a functional and contemporary space for offices and commercial tenants. Our next step in 2025 is to design a unique interior that will unlock the building’s full potential and attract the perfect tenants.
- K1(D) Building Renovation: The renovation of the K1(D) building has begun, and we eagerly look forward to welcoming new tenants to this refreshed space.
However, this year wasn’t just about building renovations—we also continued strengthening Grīziņdārzs’ identity as a sustainable and creative urban development project.
Green Thinking and Sustainability Initiatives
In 2024, sustainability was one of our top priorities. We take great pride in our green initiatives, particularly:
- Beehives on the K4 Building Roof: In June, we installed 10 beehives on the roof of the K4 building, symbolizing our commitment to biodiversity. This initiative not only improved air quality in the area but also allowed us to produce local honey—bringing joy to office workers and the wider community.

Celebrations and Recognitions
This year was also filled with celebrations and recognition:
- K2 Topping-Out Ceremony: Marking the successful completion of renovation work.
- Outdoor Stage Opening: This new cultural space in Grīziņdārzs was launched with an unforgettable event featuring cellist Tomass Ančs, an impressive bartender show, and an inspiring speech by Zane Tetere.
- BREL Awards Nomination: We participated in the prestigious “Renovated Project of the Year” category. Although we didn’t win, our participation highlights our ability to stand alongside top office complexes and reinforces our commitment to restoring historic buildings with high-quality and sustainable standards.

Completion of Klijānu Street Extension
In October 2024, we completed a significant infrastructure improvement—the extension of Klijānu Street. This new road provides a convenient connection between Grīziņdārzs and Brīvības Street, improving access to the VEF Bridge. The project was realized in collaboration with our neighbors—Sprinkler Service and GS Baltics—and was fully funded by our own resources. This investment not only enhances accessibility to Grīziņdārzs but also contributes to the city’s infrastructure as a whole.
Creative Ideas for the Underground Bunker
This year, we collaborated with @lmainterjeradizains students, who developed exciting ideas for repurposing our unique underground bunker. Their concepts included transforming the space into a sauna, concept store, café, and other creative venues—providing inspiration for future projects.
Christmas Spirit at Grīziņdārzs
We put extra effort into creating a warm and festive Christmas atmosphere for our tenants and visitors. In collaboration with AdamaLight, we decorated the courtyard with Christmas trees and illuminated the tower with glowing stars. Additionally, together with Pastaiga Market, we organized a Christmas fair, where visitors could purchase festive gifts from local artisans.
Looking Ahead
2024 has been a year of significant transformation, but it is only the beginning. We look forward to 2025 with great optimism and clear goals. We will continue working on our projects to make Grīziņdārzs an even greener, more creative, and sustainable urban hub.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your support is our motivation. Let’s build an even brighter future together!
