On 7 December, the cornerstone was laid for the construction of the Marszałkowska Centre. The representatives of Korporacja Budowlana Doraco, the General Contractor of the project, had to be there as well. Already in Q1 2018, BBI Development S.A. and Warszawska Spółdzielnia Spożywców Społem Śródmieście will commission a modern A+ office-commercial-service facility, including the cult Sezam department store. It will be the first building in the capital integrated with the underground network via the connection with the Świętokrzyska station located at the crossing of two metro lines. The new opening of the building will certainly delight Varsovians with its unprecedented scale of introducing vegetation into the centre on 9 green terraces and the revitalization of Witold Rowicki passage with attractive landscaping.

The Marszałkowska Centre construction is progressing effectively and as planned. The structure of the whole building will reach the ceiling of the first floor above the underground station already in March 2017 and will start going up. The integration of the building with the underground has been already completed as a part of the building work. The demolition of the wall that separates the mezzanine of the station from the Marszałkowska Centre will take place in the last phase of work, so as to minimise the impact of the ongoing construction on the operation of the station. The underground users may already notice an information board that shows the future entry to the shopping centre.

The investment project offers 16,500 sq.m. in total, including 3,400 sq.m. dedicated to retail and services. The remaining areas will be allocated to offices that will guarantee comfortable working conditions while caring for the natural environment as well. The investor anticipates that the use of ecological solutions should guarantee the BREEAM Europe Commercial standard 2009 certificate on the ‘very good’ level. The project is supplemented with a two-level underground car park for 106 cars and a bike park with a changing room and showers.
