by Shane Henson — January 11, 2012—Skanska, a multinational project development and construction group, recently began construction on its sustainably designed Malta House office building located in Poznan, Poland.
The building is located in the city center of Poznan with direct access to public transportation, between the main routes to Warsaw and Katowice. It is Skanska’s first office project in Poznan. According to Skanska officials, the building will have 15,700 square meters in five stories, with 275 parking spaces available to tenants. Construction is scheduled for completion in the third quarter 2013.
Malta House will also be the first LEED-certified office building in Poznan under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.
The project has already obtained LEED pre-certification at the highest level, Platinum, due to its innovative green features for maximizing energy efficiency, lighting control systems and efficient use of water. Malta House will also boast a green roof offering a view over the Malta Lake, as well as access to services at the nearby shopping mall.
