Official site handover of Mennica Legacy Tower office complex in Warsaw's Wola district to the general contractor will take place on 26 October 2016. Construction of the joint investment by Golub GetHouse and Mennica Polska S.A. is expected to last about 33 months. Warbud S.A. is the general contractor.

 

According to the agreement with the general contractor, Warbud S.A. will handle the full range of works in connection with the completion of Mennica Legacy Tower – starting with underground works, through the erection of both complex buildings, all the way to the installation works, elevation and finishing works. The entire office complex of Mennica Legacy Tower will be completed in line with the demanding requirements of the international BREAAM 'Excellent' certification standards. Reconstruction of Waliców Street between Prosta and Pereca Streets will also be part of the project.

 

The scheduled date of commissioning for use of the lower, 10-storey Western building of Mennica Legacy Tower is Q4 2018, while the 33-storey high tower is to be ready in Q3 2019.

 

Mennica Legacy Tower will offer a total of 65,630 m² of lease space. The 140-meter high tower will house 50,752m² and the Western building will provide another 14,880m². Thanks to the large area of a typical floor - 2,000m² gross - and to the outstanding arrangement flexibility of offices, Mennica Legacy Tower will meet the highest standards of ergonomics. Moreover, the offer will be supplemented with amenities such as rooftop terraces with greenery, a restaurant and a café on the ground floor. Both buildings will also have a combined total of 4,500m² of commercial and services space.

 

On the four-storey underground parking lot there will be electric vehicle charging stations and 300 stands for bikes, along with infrastructure for cyclists, including independent, safe entrance, dedicated lifts, a locker room with showers and a repair station.

 

Mennica Legacy Tower project has been designed by the renowned Chicago-based architectural firm Goettsch Partners, which decided to work with the well-established design consultant Epstein on this demanding project. Subtle curves, serrated façade and the transparent lobby glazing with total high of 13 meters (three storeys) will provide lightness and dynamism to the building shape and blur the boundary between its interior and its surroundings. An urban passageway has been designed to occupy the space between complex buildings, which will ultimately become a pedestrian thoroughfare connecting Prosta and Grzybowska streets. Locating the tower in the southeast corner of the plot allows a generally accessible urban square with small architecture and greenery.

 

At the beginning of October project of Mennica Legacy Tower received a prize for the best green design for 2016 in the Green Building Awards organized by the Polish Green Building Council.
