Skanska invests EUR 48M, about SEK 460M, in phase I in mixed-use project in Poznan, Poland

Nowy Rynek is Skanska’s third commercial development in Poznan. This project is a mixed-use complex with five independent buildings located in the central business district, creating a new quarter in the city of Poznan. Nowy Rynek will encompass offices and retail with a new public square that will host activities available for the local community. The first phase will be an office building, which is expected to receive LEED Gold certification. It will also be certified as a “Building without barriers” for its accessible design, inclusive for people with disabilities.

Construction of the first phase started in July 2017 and is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2019.
