The new property will be one of the first in Malmö to fulfill the requirements for the EU GreenBuilding label. The building's energy consumption will be at least 25% lower than what is specified in the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's standard for newly constructed buildings. In January this year, Skanska's office building Hagaporten III in Stockholm, became the first in Sweden to be certified in accordance with the most recent GreenBuilding standard.
