Skanska launches new office scheme in Poznań

Skanska Property Poland is about to start the construction of its second office investment in Poznań, dubbed Maraton. Phase one of the new scheme will be launched in January 2015 and completed in Q4 2016, the firm said. The Maraton project will feature over 25,000 sqm of office space within six floors plus two underground levels with 300 parking spaces. The first stage will include the underground garage structures as well as 13,000 sqm of space. “Poznan is listed among the top regional cities for investments in Poland. It attracts global brands because of both its convenient location, and large pool of specialists – especially those who are linguistically proficient, specialize in IT, or finance and accounting,” said Krzysztof Wilczek, regional director at Skanska Property Poland. The developer was advised by CBRE on land purchase for the Maraton project. The scheme was designed by CDF Architekci architectural studio. Maraton is Skanska’s second office project in the city, after Malta House, delivered in 2013 and awarded with the LEED Platinum certificate.
