It is a large-scale project that has to conform to the requirements of all the manufacturers and suppliers of the modern equipment, which are known worldwide that is why we chose a reliable and experienced partner for the implementation of the project”, - said V. Sinkevičius.

The building was designed by the company "Viltekta", the authors of the architectural project - "Architecturos linija".

The project will be implemented on the basis of the Build-to-suit principle - from idea to key. According to Kęstutis Vanagas, the manager of YIT Kausta, projects of such complex solutions have been increasing in the company's basket in recent years.

"Customers turns to the company with the need for development. We help customers to find the most convenient location, to choose the optimal architectural and engineering solutions according to the specifics of the business. After the project is implemented, the client rents it or buys it. Such projects make it possible to save on customer costs to achieve the best results, "says Vanagas.

The projects’ energy efficiency class is A+, including modern ventilation system. A car parking lot with charge places for electro cars is designed at the site. “The tendencies of ecology and sustainability have been moving from business centres to administrative and commercial premises for some time now. The advantage of an effective building is not only a low impact on the environment, its greater value, but also a quicker return on the investment. We can only expect that there will be more of such buildings at the capital city in the coming years and we will catch up to the Scandinavian countries”, - said K. Vanagas.
