Skanska has announced an investment of approximately EUR 74 million (around SEK 820 million) in the fifth phase of its Nowy Rynek office development in Poznań. The new phase, referred to as Building C, will mark the completion of the mixed-use complex located in the city centre.
The six-storey building will provide around 29,000 sqm of gross leasable area. According to Skanska, it is designed to achieve net zero carbon emissions in operation, using renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies. The scheme will include photovoltaic panels, air and ground-source heat pumps, and will operate independently from the city’s district heating network.
The ground system for heat exchange involves approximately 10 kilometres of boreholes, while construction materials with a reduced carbon footprint are being prioritised. The building will feature advanced building-management systems and automated ventilation controls.
Nowy Rynek C has received preliminary LEED Platinum and WELL certifications and is pursuing the “Building Without Barriers” standard to ensure accessibility. It will also include a rooftop terrace designed for drone-based parcel delivery — a first for an office building in Poland.
Construction of the final phase is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025, with completion expected by Q4 2027. The complex, developed by Skanska Commercial Development Europe, will complete the Nowy Rynek masterplan, which has been under development since 2017.
