Skanska launches first LEED office project in Poland - invests EUR 22 M,
approximately SEK 210 M, in new project

Skanska is developing a new office property with a strong environmental profile
in the city of Wrocław in western Poland. Skanska's investment will amount to
approximately EUR 22 M, approximately SEK 210 M, during the first stage of the
project, which comprises 12,000 square meters of leasable space and is scheduled
for completion at the end of 2012. 

The new property is expected to be the first office building in Poland to
fulfill the certification requirements of the international environmental
certification system LEED. 

The property, known as Green Towers, is located in central Wrocław on
Strzegomska Street near the exit from the airport. The office project will
include two ten-story buildings comprising a total of 25,000 square meters once
fully built. 

This is Skanska's second commercial development project in Wrocław. Grunwaldzki
Center, which was completed in 2009, is now nearly fully leased.  

Skanska Commercial Development Europe initiates and develops property projects
in office, logistics and commercial buildings. The company's operations are
concentrated in metropolitan areas in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland and
are conducted in three local units: Skanska Property Czech Republic, Skanska
Property Hungary and Skanska Property Poland.
