HB Reavis to build skyscraper in Warsaw

Slovakian developer HB Reavis will develop an office complex offering a total of 140,000 sqm on ul. Chmielna, west of Warsaw’s CBD. “The investment will be carried out in three stages and it will take five to six years to complete,” said Pavel Trenka, the CEO of real estate developer HB Reavis. The developer purchased the land from PKP for PLN 170 million. The company also plans to build a skyscraper, supposedly designed by celebrity architect Norman Foster, as a part of the project. “As for now, we have a planning permit and we are about to apply for a building permit. We are also consulting the height of the building with the city,” said Stanislav Frnka, head of HB Reavis in Poland.
