Final Building of Kraków High5ive Complex Under Construction

The third phase of the High5ive office complex, located in Kraków, Poland, is underway. The final building with an area of over 11,000 square meters will be the first Skanska office building in Kraków with a WELL certificate, awarded to healthy and comfortable workplaces.

High5ive is the vibrant business heart of Kraków. The offices are located in the best-connected part of the city – right next to the Main Railway Station, Galeria Krakowska and in the vicinity of universities. Once the last building is complete, the entire complex, whose construction began in March 2016, will offer a total of 70,000 square meters of modern office space.

The building, constructed as part of the third phase of the High5ive complex, will be the first WELL-certified office building in Kraków issued by the International WELL Building Institute. It is a certification system that takes into account over 100 building features, assessing the quality of office space. WELL certification considers the impact of the building on the health, physical and mental well-being of employees and visitors.

High5ive was designed for use by tenants, as well as the local community. A green concrete pavement was built during the second phase, which reduces harmful compounds from car exhaust gases, including nitrogen oxides in the air, by approximately 30%.
