The construction of the office building is on schedule. “Work is currently in progress on the fifth floor in one section of the building and we are on the third floor in the other section. The assembly of the facade is to start before the end of this year as well as the installation work.  The completion of the construction process is planned for July 2016,” announces Marek Chmielewski, project manager from Echo Investment"s Office and Hotel Department.

BREEAM is an evaluation method for buildings with regard to their eco-friendliness and comfort of future users. The buildings score points. The points acquired are converted into percentages which in turn are multiplied by the weight attributed to a given category. The points ultimately provide a score in a six-step scale: <30% - Unclassified, 30% - 44% - Pass, 45% - 54% - Good, 55% - 69% - Very Good, 70% - 84% - Excellent, >85% - Outstanding. The most popular types of certificates are BREEAM Interim (the design stage of a project), BREEAM Final (project confirmation) and BREEAM In-Use (an existing building). Nobilis Business House is characterized not only by its elegant and timeless architecture but also excellent location. The proximity of public transport stops and the main traffic routes of Wrocław makes it possible to quickly reach the city centre. The proximity of Pasaż Grunwaldzki, some colleges and universities as well as cycle paths is also important. Nobilis Business House offers an office area of 16,000 sqm.
