Skanska invests EUR 65 M, about SEK 680 M in the third office building of Nowy Rynek, a mixed-use project, in Poznan, Poland.
The investment considers the third building as well as underground parking levels for both the third and the fourth building. The construction contract is worth PLN 142 M, about SEK 340 M, which will be included in the order bookings for Europe in the second quarter 2019.
The 14-storey office building will have a total leasable area of about 27,000 square meters. It is registered to pursue WELL Certification, and is expected to receive the certificates LEED Gold and Building without Barriers for its accessible design, inclusive for people with disabilities.
Construction works started in the end of April. The office building is scheduled for completion during the second quarter 2021.

The complex is located in the central business district, creating a new quarter in the city of Poznan. Skanska sold the first building of Nowy Rynek to Franklin Templeton Investments. The second building is almost fully leased.
