The Warsaw office complex, Mennica Legacy Tower, has become a winner in the European Property Awards competition, which gives recognition to the best real estate investments in Europe. The project carried out by GGH in cooperation with Mennica Polska S.A. was recognised as the best investment in Poland and Europe in the “Commercial High-Rise Architecture” category.
The Mennica Legacy Tower is a work of the renowned Chicago-based Goettsch Partners studio. The complex is a combination of exceptional architecture, state-of-the-art technology, functionality and top-quality finishing materials. These solutions were appreciated by the judges of the prestigious European Property Awards competition, which recognised Mennica Legacy Tower as the best investment in Poland and Europe in the “Commercial High-Rise Architecture” category. Additionally, in the first stage of the competition, the investment was awarded in the “Commercial High-Rise Development for Poland” category.
The European Property Awards is one of six regional programmes that form the International Property Awards. It was established in 1994 and is considered the world’s largest and most prestigious competition, in which 130 countries participated last year and over £50 billion worth of projects were entered.
Cezary Jarząbek, Founder and CEO of GGH, said: “When we started the Mennica Legacy Tower project, we wanted it to reflect our passion for real estate and our drive for perfection. The result of our work is a building that is already setting a new trend in its category and has become an icon of style and elegance. It is to our great satisfaction that Mennica Legacy Tower was appreciated by the jury of such a prominent international competition. We are extremely proud of that. We are glad that our hallmark project successfully competes with other outstanding world-class projects”
Joachim Schuessler, Principal of Goettsch Partners, commented: “We believe that buildings should reach beyond their sites to enhance and transform the urban experience. With its variety of rich programmatic experiences and its large landscaped public outdoor plazas and thoroughfares, Mennica Legacy Tower demonstrates how private real estate developments can positively impact the city. We are honoured that the project was selected for this prestigious award.”
The win of Mennica Legacy Tower in European Property Awards is not the only recent success of the investment. Open since November 2019, the West Building of the complex was awarded the final BREEAM certificate at the “Excellent” level. During the certification process, pro-environmental solutions and land development obtained the highest scores. In this category, the West Building received the maximum number of points. High scores were also given to, among other things: state-of-the-art building management systems, energy efficiency and the quality of materials used.
