By achieving another important milestone in the construction schedule we have simultaneously passed the halfway point of the works, which has brought us even closer to the final completion of the construction process.” – said Roger Andersson, Managing Director of SwedeCenter. “It also means that we should start commercialization of the project, which will become a work place for a few thousand people in the future. Undoubtedly, Business Garden will become a catalyst of serious changes in the Poznan office market.”
