Swedish construction and development giant Skanska has announced plans to invest EUR 36 mln in the first phase of a green office project in Warsaw, Poland.
The property, which has been named Green Corner, is designed to comply with requirements for LEED Platinum certification; the highest level in the international LEED environmental rating system. The initial phase will comprise 14,000 m2 of leasable space.
The office property is located on Chlodna Street in central Warsaw. On full completion, the Green Corner will include two seven-storey buildings with a total of 27,500 m2 of floor space.
'We have noted increased activity in the Polish office market and can thus immediately commence work on the project before we have signed any rental contracts. Tenants and investors are primarily looking for flexible and environmentally sound offices with a good working environment,' said Nicklas Lindberg, managing director of Skanska Property Poland.
Construction work will commence in the autumn and the first phase is scheduled for completion in mid-2012.
