Skanska invests EUR 63M, about SEK 640M, in a new building in the Nowy Rynek office complex in Poznan, Poland

The building is expected to receive several certifications: LEED Platinum, WELL Core & Shell, WELL Health & Safety Rating and Building without Barriers, awarded to futureproof, high-quality office spaces with top safety standards reducing the risk of disease transmission and facilitate creating healthy and safe workplaces.

Construction will start in April 2021 and is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2023.
