Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has signed a framework management agreement for 14 office buildings owned by the Skanska Group. The largest facilities include High Five A&B in Krakow (36,700 sq m) and Brama Miasta B in Łódź (27,800 sq m).
“Cushman & Wakefield’s appointment as property manager for Skanska’s office buildings underway is a sign of recognition and great trust in us. This opportunity is clearly also a challenge for us, among other things, due to development phasing, multiple locations across Poland’s largest cities and the pivotal, initial start-up and operation phase of office buildings. We keenly took up this challenge as on each market we have high-skilled teams of specialists with a strong track record in property management. We are confident that we will meet our partner’s expectations. We currently look forward to acting for Spark C in particular,” says Zuzanna Paciorkiewicz, PhD, Partner, Business Space Asset Services, Cushman & Wakefield.
Skanska Property Poland is active on seven markets in Poland and has more than 200,000 sq m of modern office space under construction in Warsaw, Łódź, Krakow, Wrocław, Katowice, Poznań and Gdansk.
“The framework agreement signed by Skanska and Cushman & Wakefield is great news for our current and future tenants, and for investors. Cooperation with a single partner will help us improve knowledge sharing and continue to enhance the quality of our asset management,” adds Ewelina Kałużna, Leasing and Asset Director, Skanska’s office business.
