Wihlborgs builds new office property in location close to the station
Wihlborgs is building an office property in one of Malmö’s new development areas, Nyhamnen. The Sirius property will accommodate workplaces for about 500 people whose workplaces will be in modern premises in a good commuting location close to Malmö Central Station.
“Sirius is located close to the station in the new exciting Nyhamnen area,” says Anders Jarl, CEO of Wihlborgs. “We already own a number of properties in the same area, which has been a clear part of our strategy for a long time. Located close to Sirius are Slagthuset, Polstjärnan 1 and Polstjärnan 2, which were both acquired last year, and we own another couple of properties along Carlsgatan.”
Wihlborgs classifies all new properties in environmental terms and Sirius receives the highest environmental classification – Sweden Green Building Council’s Gold rating. The location close to the station creates good opportunities for tenants to commute by bus or train, a further sustainability aspect.
Sirius’s façade will be of greyish-black brick with glazed gables framed by metal parts with a brass feel. The intention is to give the property an exciting contrast between the dark brick and metal parts that will perceived like a lighthouse, visible throughout the entire city centre. The property will have flexible offices with the potential for retail space and services on the ground floor. Sirius is designed by Tema in Malmö.
The start of construction of Sirius will be during spring 2016 and in late 2017, 7,000 m2will be available only a stone’s throw from Malmö Central Station.
Proximity to the city centre and the Central Station means that Nyhamnen area is sometimes called Southern Sweden’s most central location. The City of Malmö has high ambitions for the area to become a dense, green and mixed city district. 6,000 new apartments and 13,000 new workplaces will created here, as well as schools, nursery schools and parks. Wihlborgs is one of the property companies that will project in the area.
