Skanska sells office building in Warsaw

Skanska signed a sales agreement for its Warsaw Studio B project. The buyer is Stena Real Estate AB, an international real estate entity belonging to the Swedish Stena group. The transaction value is EUR 86 million.

This is already the third transaction between the two parties in the Central and Eastern European region. The building offers 17,600 sqm of sustainable and innovative space. Office space was fully rented even before the permit for use was obtained. Well-known global brands have opened their headquarters here, such as the Societe Generale Group, C.H. Robinson, Unum Życie and Business Link. Studio is located between two metro stations – Rondo ONZ and Rondo Daszyńskiego – and in the vicinity of numerous retail outlets and service facilities. It is one of the few latest generation projects in this dynamically developing part of Warsaw that maintains a cozy character at the same time.

Upon completion, the complex will offer places for recreation, including a publicly accessible plaza with small architecture, rain gardens and retention tanks facilitating water collection. Studio B was built in accordance with the requirements of the most important industry certificates: LEED Platinum, WELL and Barrier-Free Facility. The building is equipped with solutions friendly to employees, such as air conditioning based on quiet cooling beams and adiabatic humidifiers, maintaining air cleanliness and freshness. Additionally, it uses a daylight intensity control system that adjusts the intensity of interior lighting to external conditions. Innovative concrete with a reduced carbon footprint was also used in the investment, whose emissions are on average 46% lower than concrete with a traditional mix.
