Poland Saski Crescent eco-friendly and smart

Interior design
CA Immo is embarking on the modernisation of the Saski Crescent office building in Warsaw. The entire renovation is expected to be completed in 2024, and a showroom will open in the building as early as March to help demonstrate the building's space development options.

The Saski Crescent office building is located in a prime location in Warsaw, at the intersection of ul. Marszłakowska and ul. Królewska. After renovation the building will offer more than 15,000 sqm of modern office space.

Successively increasing the energy efficiency of the building stock is one of the biggest challenges for the real estate sector. With the planned renovation of Saski Crescent, we will be able to offer the Warsaw office market a completely new and attractive product, while at the same time taking another step towards achieving CA Immo's climate targets. The boutique character of the building, its prestigious location, the surrounding greenery and proximity to the park, convenient connections to Warsaw's public transportation network, and the green solutions for optimised energy efficiency, which also enable savings in operating costs, are unique assets of this project. In addition, the new Saski Crescent will offer attractive common areas that tenants can use for less formal meetings and exchanges. In this modernization project, we are focusing on those elements that bring the greatest benefit to both our tenants and the environment.
Andrzej Mikołajczyk, Managing Director at CA Immo in Poland

Modernized systems like a state-of-the-art digital building management system, smart meters and new technological solutions for optimal ventilation quality, overall thermal comfort and energy-efficient lighting are expected to lead to a significant increase of building energy efficiency and tenant comfort. The renovation process is designed to lead to a 30 pct reduction in PED (primary energy demand), resulting in an energy consumption which is 40 pct below Europe average. Like all CA Immo properties in Poland, Saski Crescent is 100 pct powered by renewable electricity. On site renewable energy will be additionally generated through the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof.

CA Immo will implement a new, functional design for the common areas of the facility. With the building's users in mind, CA Immo will introduce new services like a small gym, as well as facilities for cyclists and electric car users. Saski Crescent will be certified according to BREEAM at Excellent level and WELL Core & Shell standard. By using smart digital solutions that support efficient use of the building, CA Immo is also aiming for WiredScore certification.

From March, CA Immo will be offering a showroom designed to give an impression of the functionality, flexibility and design of the building space. On display will be room and equipment examples for modern state-of-the-art offices, such as a conference room, various options for modern work space, a relaxation area and a café.
