Nowy Rynek C, developed by Skanska Commercial Development Europe, has received certification confirming compliance with Category 1 protective concealment requirements, marking a first for an office building in Poland.
The technical assessment was carried out by experts from the Protective Construction Center at the Military University of Technology. The certification confirms that key structural components, including the underground garage, meet the highest protection standards defined for this category.
“Nowy Rynek C project assumed compliance with stringent safety requirements from the very beginning – even before the so-called shelter law,” said Roland Jarosz. “Obtaining the certificate is the result of over two years of work, dozens of safety analyses, and the application of advanced engineering solutions during construction.”
According to the assessment, the structure is designed to withstand impacts such as natural disasters, debris loads and falling structural elements.
“Thanks to the expert assessment carried out by our team, we are confident that Nowy Rynek C effectively provides protection against the effects of natural disasters and debris,” said Jarosław Siwiński. “This demonstrates that modern construction can set standards for public protection based on the latest technical knowledge.”
Nowy Rynek C is scheduled for completion in 2027 and will provide approximately 28,700 sqm of gross leasable area across six floors. The building is designed to operate independently of district heating and will be powered by renewable energy.
