Construction of Skyliner II is underway, with completion planned for Q4 2026. The second tower of the Skyliner complex will rise to 130 metres and offer 28 floors with a total of 24,000 sqm of leasable space. Of this, approximately 23,000 sqm will be dedicated to modern office functions, while nearly 1,000 sqm will accommodate retail and service units on the ground floor. A standard office floor will offer around 1,100 sqm. The tower’s upper levels will feature garden terraces with a combined area of nearly 900 sqm, connected by external stairs and served by an additional lift. In total, the building will be equipped with 10 lifts. Skyliner II will be linked to the first tower via a shared 4,500 sqm podium, which will house retail and service amenities accessible to both tenants and the local community. The building will also provide a five-storey underground car park offering 217 parking spaces and 100 bicycle stands. Skyliner II has been awarded the BREEAM New Construction Outstanding certificate, reflecting its best-in-class sustainability and energy efficiency standards. As with the first phase, Karimpol plans to power the building with 100% renewable energy.

The architectural design was created by APA Wojciechowski Architekci, the general contractor is WARBUD S.A., and project management on behalf of the investor is supervised by Hill International.
