Phoenix Contact Wielkopolska, a company of the Phoenix Contact Group, a global leader and innovator in the field of electrification, networking and automation, will move into the Nowy Rynek D building, developed by Skanska. The company will arrange its office in an innovative, sustainable and healthy area of nearly 1350 sqm.
Phoenix Contact is a company with nearly 100 years of experience, operating in more than a hundred countries around the world. Its Polish branch, Phoenix Contact Wielkopolska, was established in 1994 in Nowy Tomysl, and began its operations with a manual assembly of electrical engineering parts. For nearly 30 years, the company has developed rapidly into a modern and automated enterprise. Phoenix Contact Wielkopolska employs over 3300 people in its three branches: in New Tomysl, Poznan and Tarnobrzeg. It is one of the largest employers in the region. The company manufactures top-quality electrical engineering products and components for industrial automation used to control, connect and distribute power flow and data signals for almost every industry.
In 2019, the company opened a Design Office in Poznan – its second branch of the Machine Construction Department, where it comprehensively carries out machine design and construction projects, including assembly and commissioning. Now, in Poznan, the company will set up its Shared Service Center in the Nowy Rynek complex.
The Nowy Rynek D is part of a multifunctional complex of five buildings located in the center of Poznan, which will eventually offer over 100,000 sqm of modern, sustainable and healthy office and commercial space. The buildings are fully adapted to the needs of people with disabilities, parents with children, seniors and foreigners who do not speak Polish.
The Nowy Rynek D has received WELL Health-Safety Rating and Building without Barriers certificates, as well as, most recently, LEED Core & Shell certificate at the Platinum level, the highest possible. This system verifies a building's environmental impact, including energy or water consumption. The certification is also a confirmation that the solutions used in the office building reduce its carbon footprint. Moreover, the project applies for the certification under the WELL Core & Shell standard, which assesses a building's impact on the physical and mental well-being of its users.
The building has innovative solutions, such as low-speed ventilation, chilled beams and a free cooling system, which provide better thermal comfort, cleaner air and quiet operation of equipment. The office building also features smart LED lighting, as well as a gray water and rainwater recovery system, i.e. tools that enable a significant reduction in energy and water consumption. The sidewalks around the office building are made of a special type of concrete that purifies the air of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxide (NOx).
Once the entire office complex is commissioned, tenants and residents of Poznan will be able to use the internal plaza as a place to meet and relax.
In early May 2022, the New Market D building was sold to Swedish company Eastnine AB for EUR 121 million.
