Regulatory News:
Skanska invests around SEK 215 M in the second phase of the office
project Bassängkajen on Universitetsholmen in Malmö, Sweden. This phase
comprises about 7,800 square meters of modern and energy efficient
office premises in seven floors with an underground garage beneath. The
new building will be completed during first quarter 2012 and will then
conclude the office project Bassängkajen.
The first phase of 8,500 square meters is currently under construction
and is scheduled for completion in summer 2011. Around 75 percent of
office space in that building is already leased. Tenants are Malmö
University who will move their administrative division and Awapatent who
will move their headquarters to Bassängkajen.
“This is the right time to start the next phase of Bassängkajen. We see
a strong demand on the rental market in Malmö and Skanska is convinced
that Universitetsholmen will continue to be a very attractive location.
We also see that our drive for green offices is paying off,” says
Staffan Haglind, President, Skanska Öresund.
With its modern and profiled design Bassängkajen contributes in
developing the city area on Universitetsholmen in Malmö. The project is
also entirely associated with energy efficiency and environmental
concern. Bassängkajen will, together with Skanska’s project Gårda in
Gothenburg, be the first project in the Nordics with a pre-certification
on the highest level, Platinum, in the international environmental
certification system LEED. Several measures take the energy consumption
to a level at least 25 percent lower than the standard requirements for
new buildings, which is the requirement for the EU GreenBuilding
labeling.
