Skanska Property Poland has launched the development of its second office investment in Łódź. The building, named Nowa Fabryczna, will be developed at the junction of Knychalskiego and Składowa Streets in the vicinity of the New Centre of Łódź (Nowe Centrum Łodzi). The scheme will offer its tenants ca. 21,500 m² of modern office and service space. Its completion is scheduled for Q2/Q3 2017.
The Nowa Fabryczna project will comprise seven floors above ground and two below with 210 parking bays available for tenants. Currently, preparations for the building's construction works are being carried out on the investment’s premises. The building is designed to meet the needs of approximately 2,200 employees.
The scheme’s name directly refers to both the city’s character and its location. The Nowa Fabryczna building will be located just a few minutes’ walk from Dworzec Fabryczny railway station, which, after its re-modernisation, will become one of the most modern public transportation hubs in Poland. The office building will play a significant commercial role in the new centre of Łódź, one of the most spectacular urban redevelopment projects in Central Europe, which combines business, trade, culture and transport.
“Łódź is currently undergoing rapid development. This is illustrated by the number of investments in the city currently under construction or in the planning stages. Łódź has many qualities that make the city an attractive location including the city's location at the very centre of Poland and the fact that it is one of Poland's major academic centres. Furthermore, significant communication projects and investments are being developed in the city, such as the aforementioned new centre of Łódź, Dworzec Fabryczny railroad station and the W-Z tunnel that links the east and the west of the city. All of these projects have encouraged us to develop two new projects in the city with Nowa Fabryczna being one of them,” comments Łukasz Kaleciński, Regional Director for Region North at Skanska Property Poland.
Nowa Fabryczna will be developed in accordance with the principles of sustainable building. This will be confirmed by solutions applied within the building. The modern bicycle infrastructure will include urban bike stations. There will also be charging points for electrical vehicles. Technologies applied within the building will significantly reduce both water and energy consumption. Furthermore, the scheme’s green credentials will be confirmed by it attaining the international LEED Gold certificate.
