Skanska buys Ilmet office building (PL)

Ilmet tower

Skanska strengthens its position in the business center of Warsaw.

 

The company has signed an agreement on the rights of perpetual usufruct, a right granting long-term use of real estate, on the land plot near ONZ Rondabout. The Ilmet office building is located on this plot.

 

Ilmet office building was developed in the late 1990s. In 2011, new concepts of new land management began to be adopted. As a result, the building’s owner wanted to replace it with a 188-meter high skyscraper designed by the Danish architectural studio, Schmidt Hammer Lassen. This project, along with the plot of land, has now been purchased by Skanska. According to Skanska, the plot’s potential is approx. 60,000m². The Ilmet office building offers nearly 20,000m² of usable space.

 

In the transaction process the seller was advised by Knight Frank.

 

Skanska’s latest purchase in the Wola district was preceded by the opening of Atrium 2 investment located on Pereca Street as well as the purchase of a land plot on Łucka Street.

 

Skanska’s two biggest office projects – Generation Park near Daszyńskiego Roundabout and Spark on Towarowa Street – are currently under development. Skanska projects developed or to be developed in the heart of Warsaw's business district will exceed 350,000m².
