Buildings and Architecture

The project developer of the Mennica Legacy Tower is Golub GetHouse , the client is Mennica Polska . The Warsaw construction company Warbud was hired as the general contractor. The architectural design comes from the architecture office Goettsch Partners from Chicago . Architecturally, the high-rise is defined by subtle curves and the division of the facade as well as a fully glazed main lobby with a height of 13 meters. These elements should give the building lightness and dynamism.

The two-part ensemble consists of a 140-meter tower and a 36-meter-high building on the west side, in which furnished office space ( coworking ) is to be offered. The construction of the building foundation was complex. 1920 tons of steel and 12,000 cubic meters of concrete were used for its manufacture. 5700 concrete mixers delivered during the ten-month construction period .

The main use of the high-rise will be for renting office space (53,000 square meters), with retail and service space also being offered. The total usable area of ​​both properties will be almost 66,000 square meters. There will be 20 elevators. The property meets the requirements of the international BREEAM environmental certificate. In the common basement area of ​​the two buildings (there are four underground floors) there are 620 parking spaces for vehicles and 300 spaces for bicycles.
