STOCKHOLM, Sweden--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Skanska is to lease 3,300 square meters of office space to Malmö University at Universitetsholmen in central Malmö. The lease implies that Skanska will now again start up the office project Bassängkajen. The office property will be seven floors high with an underground garage and will include a total of 16,000 square meters of leasable space in two phases. Skanska's investment in the first phase of 8,500 square meters amounts to approximately SEK 240 M and is scheduled for completion in summer 2011. Bassängkajen will be a modern office building with a distinct environmental profile.

It will also be one of the first properties in Malmö to be certified according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, LEED, which Skanska will be introducing in all its new properties in the Nordic region and Central Europe.
