Skyliner II gains another tenant. WSP Polska, one of the world’s leading providers of professional engineering, consultancy and scientific services, has signed a lease agreement with Karimpol Polska for 1,105 sq m of office space on the 12th floor of the new tower in the Skyliner complex. The new office will serve as another WSP headquarters in Warsaw and will provide space for a team of specialists working on projects in areas including engineering, infrastructure, the environment and sustainable development.

WSP is a global professional services firm, bringing together engineers, consultants and scientists working on projects that shape the future of communities around the world. The company employs 83,000 people and carries out projects on every continent. WSP works
with clients across more than 100 sectors and offers services covering, amongst others, construction and property, energy and resources, industrial facilities, the environment, and transport and infrastructure. WSP has been operating in Poland since 1999, and the company’s Warsaw headquarters serves as the hub for the Polish team’s activities. WSP Poland currently employs over 140 engineers and consultants specialising in areas such as mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering, the environment, sustainable development, infrastructure, project and construction management, and digital solutions. The company undertakes both local and international projects, working with developers, architects and public bodies.

– “Choosing Skyliner II as WSP’s new headquarters is a natural step in the company’s development and a response to the needs of our team. We were keen to find a space that would provide comfortable working conditions, reflect the character of our organisation, and allow us to further develop collaboration and the exchange of knowledge. Skyliner II combines a high-quality working environment, modern technical solutions and a convenient location in the centre of Warsaw. We are delighted to join the ranks of this project’s tenants and believe that the new office will be a good place for WSP’s continued growth in Poland,” says Grzegorz Wieczorek, Chief Operating Officer and Member of the Management Board of WSP Poland.

– “We are delighted that WSP is joining the ranks of Skyliner II’s tenants. This partnership is particularly valuable because WSP’s activities focus on designing solutions that address the most significant challenges facing modern cities – from energy efficiency and sustainable construction, through infrastructure and transport, to adaptation to climate change.” The fact that a company with such strong technical and environmental expertise has chosen Skyliner II confirms to us that the development meets the expectations of organisations which view office space not only in terms of location and standard, but also in terms of its environmental impact and the comfort of its users. Skyliner II, developed in accordance with the highest standards of sustainable development and powered entirely by renewable energy, fits well within this perspective,” says Harald Jeschek, Managing Partner of the Karimpol Group.

WSP is involved in the delivery of many significant projects in Poland. The company has participated, amongst other things, in the design of the structural, plumbing and electrical systems for the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, the new headquarters of CD PROJEKT RED, as well as the Manufaktura project in Łódź and the 3T Office Park in Gdynia. WSP also supports the energy transition of businesses and the development of renewable energy sources, as well as carrying out projects in the fields of infrastructure and environmental protection. WSP’s new headquarters will occupy 1,105 sq m on the 12th floor of the new office building.

Newmark and the law firm Eversheds Sutherland represented WSP Polska in the letting process. CBRE and the law firm Argon Legal advised Karimpol Polska on the transaction.

Skyliner II is the next phase of the Karimpol Group’s flagship development in Warsaw and will complement the complex’s first skyscraper, creating a total of 73,000 square metres of modern office and retail space. The building will stand 130 metres tall and comprise 28 storeys, offering approximately 24,000 square metres of lettable space. The vast majority – around 23,000 square metres – will be allocated to office space, whilst nearly 1,000 square metres will be occupied by retail and service premises on the ground floor. Green terraces have been designed for the upper floors. The building will be connected to the first tower by a shared podium covering 4,500 square metres, which will house facilities accessible to both tenants and the local community. The complex will also offer a five-level underground car park with 217 parking spaces and 100 bicycle parking spaces.

The Skyliner II project is being carried out in accordance with the highest standards of sustainable construction. The building has been awarded a BREEAM New Construction certificate at the ‘Outstanding’ level and, like Skyliner I, will be powered entirely by renewable energy.

APA Wojciechowski Architekci is responsible for the architectural design, WARBUD S.A. is the main contractor, and Hill International is providing project management services.

Completion of the Skyliner II construction project is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

Following the success of Squarebizz Bory in Bratislava, which offers 27,500 m² of modern leasable space under the unique Work.Shop.Store concept, Karimpol Group is expanding its portfolio with a similar project in the regional city of Nitra. Squarebizz Business Center Nitra offers 10,000 m² of high-quality and energy-efficient retail, warehouse and showroom space across two buildings.

The West Park Nitra industrial zone, where the project is located, is one of the fastest-growing areas of the city and is home to established companies such as Slovak Parcel Service, Metro Cash & Carry and Sconto. The site is located approximately 5 km from Nitra city centre, 4 km from the Jaguar Land Rover plant and 1.5 km from Klokočina, the city’s largest residential district with approximately 26,000 inhabitants. Squarebizz Business Center Nitra has direct access to the R1 expressway, connecting Nitra with key Slovak cities including Bratislava, Trnava and Banská Bystrica.

The certification places Squarebizz Bory among Slovakia’s top-performing BREEAM In-Use certified assets in its benchmark category and confirms the sustainability credentials of its flexible retail, warehouse and exhibition space concept in Greater Bratislava.

BRATISLAVA, 13^th of August 2026 – Squarebizz Business Center Bory has achieved the BREEAM In-Use “Excellent” rating for Asset Performance, with an overall score of 75.1%. Certified under BREEAM International In-Use: Commercial Version 6 and assessed by Salvis s.r.o., Squarebizz Bory covers a certified floor area of 27,500 m².

According to the benchmark prepared by Salvis, Squarebizz Bory ranks 5th out of 75 active BREEAM In-Use Part 1 certified assets in Slovakia within the industrial asset category used for the benchmark. Across the wider certified Slovak industrial market, including BREEAM In-Use and New Construction assets, Squarebizz Bory ranks 20th out of 142 unique certified industrial buildings, placing it firmly among the country’s top-performing certified assets. 

“At Squarebizz, sustainability is not a separate layer added at the end of development. It is part of how the building works every day, from efficient operations and smart use of resources, to the comfort and practicality our tenants expect from their space. Achieving BREEAM In-Use ‘Excellent’ for Squarebizz Bory shows that a flexible Work.Shop.Store concept can be both highly functional and responsibly designed,” said Edik Plätzer, Managing Partner at Karimpol Group.

Verified sustainability performance for flexible business space

BREEAM In-Use is one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment methods for existing buildings. It evaluates operational assets across key sustainability categories, including health and wellbeing, energy, transport, water, resources, resilience, land use and ecology, and pollution.

Squarebizz Business Center Bory achieved particularly strong results in Land Use and Ecology, Water, Health and Wellbeing, Resilience and Resources, contributing to its overall “Excellent” rating. 

With its certified floor area of more than 27,500 m², Squarebizz Bory demonstrates that flexible business space combining retail, warehouse, exhibition, showroom, light production and office functions can meet high sustainability standards while supporting the practical needs of modern companies.

The achievement is especially significant in the context of Slovakia’s rapidly developing sustainable real estate market. According to the Salvis benchmark, BREEAM is the dominant certification scheme in Slovakia, and logistics and industrial buildings represent the largest certified building sector in the country. 

“From a property management perspective, the real value of BREEAM In-Use is that it assesses how the building performs in everyday operation. At Squarebizz Bory, solutions such as heat recovery, efficient water management, green roofs and responsible use of resources are not only sustainability measures on paper, but they also directly support reliable building operation, tenant comfort and the efficient use of the premises. The ‘Excellent’ rating independently confirms that these principles are reflected in the day-to-day management of the property,” said Mario Klas, Head of Property Management at Squarebizz Group.
