“This is another important step for Skanska in Romania. I firmly believe that the central-western area is a place where we can continue our successful development work. We see a great demand from BPO, SSC and IT companies, who consider this area a perfect location because of its proximity to the Polytechnic campus and access to several means of public transport, ” says Marcin Łapiński, president of Skanska Property Romania.
