Skanska initiates second phase of Bassangkajen in Malmo

Published: 12-Mar-2010

Skanska has started the second phase of the office project Bassängkajen on Universitetsholmen in Malmo, Sweden with an investment of SEK215 million ($30.1 million).

The second 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% of office space in that building is already leased. Tenants are Malmo University who will move their administrative division and Awapatent who will move their headquarters to Bassängkajen.

With its modern and profiled design Bassängkajen contributes in developing the city area on Universitetsholmen in Malmo. 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% lower than the standard requirements for new buildings, which is the requirement for the EU GreenBuilding labeling.
