An earlier name of the building was Skanska Tower . The three-part system ( Generation Park X , Y and Z ) will be built in stages. Civil engineering began in November 2015; the first building was completed in 2017, the second is to be built by September 2019 [obsolete] , the third by March 2021.

Location and history

The group of buildings is located between street ul. Towarowa , ul. Łucka , ul. Prosta and ul. Wrona , wherein the intersection of ul. Towarowa and ul. Prosta a here roundabout ( Rondo Daszyńskiego forms).

Originally there was an office and warehouse complex of the Ruch on the building site , in which the headquarters of the press distribution company was located. Since the 2000s, Ruch had rented the office building to the Instytut Pamięci Narodowej , which had it renovated - at its own expense - for 17 million zloty . In August 2012, the construction company Skanska Property Poland acquired the property and terminated the lease with the IPN. In October 2013 the institute moved out. In 2014 the 13-story building was demolished.

Buildings and Architecture

The building ensemble will consist of three office buildings. Two buildings will be flatter (10 or 13 above-ground floors, Generation Park X and Z or GX and GZ ), a third ( Generation Park Y or also: GY ) will have 38 above-ground floors and a roof height of 140 meters (total height 180 Meters) are among the tallest office buildings in Warsaw. The total usable area of ​​the building will include around 80,000 square meters of office space and 20,000 square meters of service and commercial space. The property developer is Skanska Property Poland , as a general contractor is Skanska Polska responsible. The design of the buildings in neo-modern style comes from JEMS Architekci . In the realization of the project and the revitalization of the Rondo Daszyńskiego, Skanska sees itself as the main competitor of Ghelamco , a developer who is also building large office properties in the immediate vicinity ( The Warsaw Hub and Warsaw Unit ).

The three buildings ( GX , GY and GZ ) will provide parking spaces for 593 vehicles (160, 323 and 110) and 399 bicycles (88, 209 and 102) in the basement. In the high-rise building, six so-called “sky office” rooms will be created on different floors, each with a two-story ceiling height. A green terrace will be located on the 35th floor of the building 127 meters above street level. The building is LEED certified.

Skanska sold the first building of the office complex ( Generation X ) in 2018 to a real estate fund of the German HansaInvest Real Assets . Citi Service Center Poland , one of Citigroup's largest shared service centers, had already become the main tenant of the building in 2017 .

Footpath

The footpaths belonging to Generation Park are equipped with a concrete paving, which cleans the air of pollution. The concrete used has photocatalytic properties . With the help of the ultraviolet radiation contained in solar radiation , harmful chemical compounds (e.g. nitrogen dioxide ) from car exhaust are broken down into their individual components and disposed of in the sewage system via rainwater. On this project, Skanska Property Poland cooperated with the cement manufacturer Górażdże Cement SA as well as the Geophysical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences , the Faculty of Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology and the Geology Faculty of the University of Warsaw .
