The PZU Group has leased 47,000 sqm of office, retail, service and warehouse space, as well as 325 parking spaces in Generation Park Y – Skanska’s highest office building in CEE located in Warsaw. With this lease, the building is now 98.5 percent occupied. The PZU Group will move its headquarters to the new office in Q2 2022. This is the largest lease agreement in the history of the office market in Poland and the history of the Skanska Group in the world.


The Generation Park Y tower, which will receive the address of Daszyńskiego Roundabout 4, has 38 above ground and 4 underground floors with 187 parking spots for bicycles and 325 parking spaces for cars, each equipped with sockets for charging electric vehicles. A 330 sqm green wall will be built in the lobby of the building, and thanks to the glazed facade, it will also be possible to admire the interiors from the outside. At a height of 127 meters, there will be a green terrace overlooking Warsaw’s city centre.

Generation Park Y is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 202, and the fit-out works for the PZU Group will be completed in the second quarter of 2022, which is also the date of the handover. Along with the completion of the building, the area between the office buildings of the Generation Park complex will undergo a transformation. A "green concrete" pavement will be created to clean the air from smog and car exhaust fumes.

Once the work is completed, the building will apply for the LEED Platinum, Building without Barriers and the WELL Core & Shell certificates.
