Tryton Business House, an A-class office building, which is carried out by Echo Investment in Gdańsk, obtained a BREEAM Interim certificate with the Excellent rating.

Tryton had a very high score of 73.2 pct, which resulted in the Excellent rating that was granted to only a dozen or so other office projects in Poland. “This is another success of Echo Investment as 50 pct of its BREEAM-certified office projects obtained the Excellent rating, which no other developer in Poland can boast so far. This our fourth BREEAM Interim certificate with the Excellent rating. We are very glad that Tryton Business House joined such projects as: Q22, Park Rozwoju and West Gate. The office building, which is carried out in Gdańsk, has fully utilized the certification potential by combining composition and material elements with sustainable and energy efficient solutions while integrating with city centre development and the proximity of the historical Gdańsk Shipyard,” says Katarzyna Murdoch, BREEAM engineer, BREEAM International assessor at Echo Investment. The certification process of Tryton Business House is conducted by Grontmij Polska. Echo Investment"s portfolio includes as many as 12 BREEAM-certified buildings, they are: Tryton Business House, West Gate and Q22, two Park Rozwoju buildings in Warsaw, Aquarius Business House in Wrocław, the first and the second stage of A4 Business Park in Katowice, Oxygen in Szczecin (2 BREEAM In-Use certificates: Building Management and Asset Rating), as well as Galeria Amber in Kalisz, Galaxy in Szczecin, Galeria Olimpia in Bełchatów and Galeria Echo in Kielce. Tryton Business House is a modern A-class office building which offers an area of 22,000 sqm. The facility is being developed at the junction of the streets:  Jana z Kolna and Wały Piastowskie. Its location at the main traffic routes in the city provides for quick and easy access to other districts by car or public transport. The office building will have its own underground car park including spaces for 262 cars. The project also involves the construction of a public car park. The design, which was created by the Gdynia-based architectural studio Arch-Deco, also includes 72 covered parking spaces for bicycles, which is one of the requirements of BREEAM certification. Cyclists will also be able to use showers, changing and drying rooms. Tryton Business House is building of varied height - its section facing Jana z Kolna Street will have 6 floors and its central part will have 11 floors. Both parts will be joined by a one-storey hall - a connector including a service and office area, which will also offer a public passageway towards the station. The construction of Tryton Business House is to finish in Q4 2015. www.trytonbusinesshouse.pl
