Skanska invests about EUR 51 M, about SEK 460 M, in the Atrium 1 office project,
located in Warsaw Central Business District. The construction contract worth EUR
32 M, about SEK 290 M, will be booked by Skanska construction in the fourth
quarter 2011.
 
The total leasable area of the fifteen-storey building will be 18,000 square
metres. Construction has just started and completion of the project is scheduled
for the beginning of 2014.
 
Atrium 1 will be the most environmentally sustainable office building in Poland.
The project has been LEED Platinum pre-certified, featuring numerous sustainable
solutions to minimize the building’s impact on the environment and significantly
reduce its operating costs.
 
Atrium 1 will have a geothermal heating and cooling system, used for the first
time in Poland and featured only in a handful of buildings in Europe.
Additionally, solar energy will be used in the project, photovoltaic panels are
to be installed on the building’s double-skin façade, equipped with external
blinds to minimise the heat intake. Storm and grey water will be stored and
reused.
