ABB has opened its new headquarters in Skanska鈥檚 Axis office building in Krak贸w. The relocation process has already brought 900 employees into the building, as a part of the IT and energy efficiency services provider鈥檚 consolidation plans across Krak贸w. In all, Axis will provide room for 2,000 of the company鈥檚 employees who will be providing finance, IT and HR support for the company鈥檚 global operations. The new office is ABB鈥檚 largest shared service center in the world.
Skanska secured the building鈥檚 occupancy permit this month, having already offloaded the building earlier this year to the Swedish investor Niam as part of a portfolio transaction. The office building added 20,000 sqm of lettable space to the local office market, with a LEED Gold certificate acehived at the Shell & Core stage. Skanska S.A oversaw the construction, while Artur Jasi艅ski and Wsp贸lnicy Biuro Architektoniczne provided the design.
