40 above-ground storeys and more than 155-meters of height — this is the size of SKYSAWA tower, the construction of which has just been completed. Most of floors in the building were built in record time. It took only four days to finish 1 floor.
The crucial stage of the construction of the SKYSAWA office and retail complex has been completed. The flagship Warsaw project of Polski Holding Nieruchomości has just reached its target height. The construction of the aboveground section took a year, and floors from +17 to +40 were built in just 150 days.
“The pace of building subsequent floors of the SKYSAWA tower perfectly reflects our holistic approach to the implementation of this project.. From the very beginning our goal was to set the pace and tone for the office market by building one of the most modern and interesting office complexes in Warsaw. I am proud to say that SKYSAWA is an example of the best standards in terms of architecture, technology, facilities and quality,” said Tomasz Górnicki, Vice-President of the Management Board for Investment, Polski Holding Nieruchomości S.A.
“Achieving the impressive pace at which the SKYSAWA tower was built was possible thanks to the perfect organization of work of approx. 500 individuals involved in its construction. The technology used and intensive schedule required high precision from the PORR team. Our engineers dealt with this task perfectly,” said Dariusz Wietrzyński, Member of the Management Board of PORR S.A., the general contractor of the SKYSAWA project.
Completion of SKYSAWA tower is planned for Q3 2022. The shorter, 9-storey part of the complex will be commissioned this year.
“We are proud to support Polski Holding Nieruchomości in the construction of SKYSAWA, thus contributing to the landscape of the center of our capital and the development of the city. Topping out is a very important stage of the construction and we are very happy that thanks to good, professional cooperation and mutual trust, we can celebrate on the scheduled date together with PHN, PORR and every other involved entity,” said Jacek Kostrzewski, Managing Director of Gleeds Polska supervising the construction.
SKYSAWA, the construction of which commenced in June 2019, is being built in the center of Warsaw at ul. Świętokrzyska 36. Its central location right by the Rondo ONZ makes it one of the few projects in Warsaw, whose tenants will be able to reach the metro station via a direct underground passage. The office building will include a modern infrastructure for cyclists with approx. 200 spaces for bicycles and cloakrooms with showers. In addition to standard parking spaces, the two-level underground car park will be equipped with 9 charging stations for electric cars. Both buildings will include areas with terraces, and their tenants will have an open space for relaxation and less formal meetings. Public catering as well as retail and service facilities will be located on the -1 floor.
