Wrocław's Centrum Południe: A New Benchmark in Sustainable Office Spaces
Skanska has completed the sale of the second phase of its premier Centrum Południe office complex in Wrocław for 62 million Euro. The acquisition by a joint venture between INVESTIKA Real Estate Fund and BUD HOLDINGS marks a significant investment in the rapidly developing Polish regional market, reinforcing the appeal of top-tier, environmentally conscious commercial properties.
Centrum Południe: Strategic Location and Modern Infrastructure
This state-of-the-art office complex offers over 21,500 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) across 15 above-ground and two underground levels, providing over 200 parking spaces. Strategically positioned on Powstańców Śląskich street, in close proximity to Wrocław's Main Railway Station, Centrum Południe boasts excellent connectivity to public transport and cycling paths, ensuring seamless access for employees and clients alike. Its design and amenities cater to the demands of modern businesses seeking a vibrant and accessible operational hub.
Commitment to Sustainability and Employee Well-being
Centrum Południe stands as a testament to Skanska's commitment to ESG principles, achieving the highest LEED Platinum environmental certification. The building operates entirely on renewable energy, significantly reducing its ecological footprint with 39% lower energy consumption and 58% less water usage, thanks to innovative cooling beams and a greywater recovery system. The unique façade maximizes natural light while efficiently controlling indoor temperatures, creating a comfortable and energy-efficient workspace. Further enhancing its green credentials, the complex incorporates rain gardens, an anti-smog pavement, and a photocatalytic mural, integrating sustainability directly into its urban landscape.
Premium Amenities and a Thriving Community Hub
Beyond its environmental performance, Centrum Południe is designed with occupants in mind. It holds a WELL Gold certification, emphasizing health and well-being, and is certified as 'Barrier-Free,' ensuring full accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Each floor features spacious 40-square-meter loggias, offering employees inviting outdoor spaces. The complex's surroundings are thoughtfully designed to be open to the local community, featuring basketball courts, swings, and extensive green areas that comprise nearly 25% of the complex's total area, fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment.
A Proven Success: Home to Global Leaders
The success of Centrum Południe is further validated by its sole tenant, global financial services provider BNY, which occupies all 13 office floors. BNY has also secured a LEED Commercial Interiors certification for its space, achieving the highest score in Poland and the second highest in Europe, demonstrating the superior quality and sustainable design of the interiors. This long-term commitment from a major international firm underscores the complex's appeal and its capability to meet the stringent requirements of global businesses.
