Skanska invests €44 million in new nine-storey building that will offer approximately 16,000 square meters of modern office space in a sought-after business location in Prague.
Designed by Richard Meier & Partners, the building is expected to receive both LEED Platinum and WELL certifications. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) focuses on energy consumption and sustainable materials, whereas WELL evaluates how does the working environment affect people inside.
