INVL Baltic Real Estate begins conversion of former Pramogų Bankas building into Talent Garden Vilnius space

INVL Baltic Real Estate, a real estate investment company, will open a second Talent Garden Vilnius coworking space in the building historically known as both Pramogų bankas and the Pergalė cinema. Refurbishment works on the building, located on A. Stulginskio Street in the capital, will start in January, and the space will open to tenants at the end of 2026.

“The success of the first Talent Garden Vilnius space, launched in 2020, encouraged us to look for a location for expansion as early as the beginning of 2022. After an extensive search, we decided that we could not find a better option than the former Pergalė cinema. The decision was driven by the excellent location, non-standard interior spaces with 7-metre high ceilings, and the building’s unique history and architecture,” says Vytautas Bakšinskas, real estate fund manager at INVL Asset Management, which manages INVL Baltic Real Estate. 

According to him, the building’s redesign began immediately after its acquisition in 2023, with solutions developed in collaboration with architects for more than two years.

“We have managed not only to preserve the valuable features of the building with respect but also to design workspaces that meet modern requirements. By renewing and illuminating the façades, we will revitalise this well-known building,” adds V. Bakšinskas.

Focus on heritage and modernity

During the major refurbishment, both the interior and exterior of the building will be thoroughly renewed. Additional windows are planned for the side façades, and in the mansard, standard skylights will be replaced with panoramic ones. The tiled roof covering will be replaced with copper sheet metal, and the façades, as well as all engineering systems, will be updated.

The coworking space will occupy the entire building, whose usable area after the refurbishment will reach 3,500 sq. m. Clients will be offered 325 workstations, most of which will be located in private offices for 4–8 people; a total of 48 premium-class private offices will be built.

The new space will stand out for its rich infrastructure. It will include 20 meeting rooms, an impressive 300 sq. m kitchen, numerous dedicated areas for calls, lounge and games rooms, a reading room, and other spaces designed for collaboration and work.

“Since its establishment, Talent Garden Vilnius has become a platform for international companies entering the Lithuanian market. These organisations highly value employee well-being, operational efficiency, and infrastructure quality. We have successfully met these requirements and created an environment that meets the highest standards. The new Talent Garden will raise the bar even higher – we are ready to offer more flexible and innovative solutions for fast-growing businesses and start-ups,” says Artūras Bulota, Partner and Head of marketing at Talent Garden Vilnius.

The authors of the building’s major refurbishment and heritage protection project are UAB Senojo miesto architektai, while the concept for interior spaces and design was created by architecture studio Plazma. The construction works will be carried out by a team of experienced contractors: UAB Sivysta, UAB Sumani inžinerija, UAB Elneda, and UAB Elteros projektai. Project management will be handled by UAB AZCM.
