A traditional topping-out ceremony has taken place at the Skyliner II construction site, symbolising the achievement of the building’s target height and the completion of one of the most important stages of the project. The second tower of the complex, developed by Karimpol Polska with WARBUD SA as the main contractor, has reached a height of 130 metres. The project is now entering its final phase, which includes the completion of the façade, technical installations and interior finishes, and the building is becoming an increasingly prominent feature of the capital’s skyline.
Skyliner II, under construction at Rondo Daszyńskiego in Warsaw, will offer approximately 24,000 sqm of lettable space, including around 23,000 sqm of modern office space and nearly 1,000 sqm of retail and service space. Construction is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of this year, with the first tenants moving in as early as the first quarter of 2027.
“Today, Skyliner II is already a distinct feature of Warsaw’s skyline and contributes to the dynamic development of the business centre around Rondo Daszyńskiego. For us, this moment is particularly significant because the second tower is a natural continuation of the success of Skyliner I. From the outset, we have taken a long-term view of this project. We aimed to create a cohesive, modern complex that responds to the changing needs of the market and the expectations of tenants. Skyliner I and Skyliner II are now the largest investment in the history of the Karimpol Group, which is why we are watching with great satisfaction as this vision becomes a reality,” says Wojciech Karczmarczyk, director of projects at Karimpol Polska.
“Reaching the target height of the structure is the result of the work of hundreds of people involved in this project. A particular challenge was maintaining a very high pace of construction whilst upholding the highest standards of quality and safety. We completed twenty repetitive storeys in just under 22 weeks, despite the need to re-anchor the tower cranes twice and periodic restrictions due to wind conditions. This result best demonstrates the commitment and experience of the entire project team. Ahead of us lies the finalisation of the façade installation, the completion of installation works and intensive finishing works on the subsequent storeys. At the same time, we are preparing to dismantle the tower cranes and the project’s gradual transition into its final phase,” says Piotr Pikuła, Skyliner II contract director at WARBUD SA.
In parallel with construction progress, the commercialisation of the development is underway. To date, lease agreements have been signed by, among others, Mindspace (4,500 sqm), Squarepoint Capital (2,200 sqm) and Volkswagen Financial Services (5,500 sqm). Thanks to the latest transaction, the occupancy rate at Skyliner II has reached 50%.
The architectural design of the entire complex is the responsibility of APA Wojciechowski Architekci, WARBUD SA is the main contractor for the project, and Hill International is providing project management. CBRE is responsible for the commercialisation of the building.
