by Property Forum | Office

Skanska is commencing the construction of its Parkview office building, designed by architectural studio Richard Meier & Partners. The nine-storey building, that will offer nearly 16,000 sqm of office space is scheduled for completion in Q1 2020.


The nine-floor Parkview building is under construction on the Pujmanové street in Prague 4, in the vicinity of the Arkády Pankrác shopping centre.
 
“Parkview is the second project that we are building in the Prague district of Pankrác. There is long-term demand for administrative premises in this premium location. Aside from top-quality offices, Parkview is planned to also offer a large roof terrace with seating, where tenants can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of all of Prague. We want to make sure that people not only like working in Parkview, but that they can also relax there,” says Alexandra Tomášková, Managing Director of Skanska Property Czech Republic.
 
Skanska will strive to obtain a LEED Platinum and WELL Gold certificate for the building.
 
The building was designed using the BIM (Building Information Management) system from the very beginning; this system offers exact control over the construction project, the ability to calculate and monitor costs during the course of the project, and modelling of future areas of individual tenants; furthermore, after entry into operation the system will provide efficient facility management.
