The Project

Last year Linstow Baltic, one of the leading commercial property developers in the Baltics, finalised and opened to the public one of the most exciting new development projects in Riga – the expansion of the Origo shopping centre, which is located in the very heart of the city right next to the central railway station.

The expansion project involved:

(1) reconstruction of the existing “A” building;

(2) development of a brand new multifunctional commercial centre, which also includes the Origo One business centre.

The total investment in the expansion project exceeds EUR 60,000,000.

Last week the new Origo building was named building of the year in the category “New Public Building”, thus establishing its status as one of the landmark buildings of the city.
