WSP is the new tenant at Skyliner II. The company has leased over 1,100 sq m of space.

WSP is the new tenant at Skyliner II. The company has leased over 1,100 sq m of space. Publication date: 19.08.2026 Skyliner II gains another tenant. WSP Polska, one of the world's leading providers of professional engineering, consultancy and scientific services, has signed a lease agreement with Karimpol Polska for 1,105 sq m of office space on the 12th floor of the new tower in the Skyliner complex. The new office will serve as another WSP headquarters in Warsaw and will provide space for a team of specialists working on projects in areas including engineering, infrastructure, the environment and sustainable development. WSP is a global professional services firm, bringing together engineers, consultants and scientists working on projects that shape the future of communities around the world. The company employs 83,000 people and carries out projects on every continent. WSP works with clients across more than 100 sectors and offers services covering, amongst others, construction and property, energy and resources, industrial facilities, the environment, and transport and infrastructure. WSP has been operating in Poland since 1999, and the company's Warsaw headquarters serves as the hub for the Polish team's activities. WSP Poland currently employs over 140 engineers and consultants specialising in areas such as mechanical and electrical engineering, structural engineering, the environment, sustainable development, infrastructure, project and construction management, and digital solutions. The company undertakes both local and international projects, working with developers, architects and public bodies. - "Choosing Skyliner II as WSP's new headquarters is a natural step in the company's development and a response to the needs of our team. We were keen to find a space that would provide comfortable working conditions, reflect the character of our organisation, and allow us to further develop collaboration and the exchange of knowledge. Skyliner II combines a high-quality working environment, modern technical solutions and a convenient location in the centre of Warsaw. We are delighted to join the ranks of this project's tenants and believe that the new office will be a good place for WSP's continued growth in Poland," says Grzegorz Wieczorek, Chief Operating Officer and Member of the Management Board of WSP Poland. - "We are delighted that WSP is joining the ranks of Skyliner II's tenants. This partnership is particularly valuable because WSP's activities focus on designing solutions that address the most significant challenges facing modern cities - from energy efficiency and sustainable construction, through infrastructure and transport, to adaptation to climate change." The fact that a company with such strong technical and environmental expertise has chosen Skyliner II confirms to us that the development meets the expectations of organisations which view office space not only in terms of location and standard, but also in terms of its environmental impact and the comfort of its users. Skyliner II, developed in accordance with the highest standards of sustainable development and powered entirely by renewable energy, fits well within this perspective," says Harald Jeschek, Managing Partner of the Karimpol Group. WSP is involved in the delivery of many significant projects in Poland. The company has participated, amongst other things, in the design of the structural, plumbing and electrical systems for the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, the new headquarters of CD PROJEKT RED, as well as the Manufaktura project in Łódź and the 3T Office Park in Gdynia. WSP also supports the energy transition of businesses and the development of renewable energy sources, as well as carrying out projects in the fields of infrastructure and environmental protection. WSP's new headquarters will occupy 1,105 sq m on the 12th floor of the new office building. Newmark and the law firm Eversheds Sutherland represented WSP Polska in the letting process. CBRE and the law firm Argon Legal advised Karimpol Polska on the transaction. Skyliner II is the next phase of the Karimpol Group's flagship development in Warsaw and will complement the complex's first skyscraper, creating a total of 73,000 square metres of modern office and retail space. The building will stand 130 metres tall and comprise 28 storeys, offering approximately 24,000 square metres of lettable space. The vast majority - around 23,000 square metres - will be allocated to office space, whilst nearly 1,000 square metres will be occupied by retail and service premises on the ground floor. Green terraces have been designed for the upper floors. The building will be connected to the first tower by a shared podium covering 4,500 square metres, which will house facilities accessible to both tenants and the local community. The complex will also offer a five-level underground car park with 217 parking spaces and 100 bicycle parking spaces. The Skyliner II project is being carried out in accordance with the highest standards of sustainable construction. The building has been awarded a BREEAM New Construction certificate at the 'Outstanding' level and, like Skyliner I, will be powered entirely by renewable energy. APA Wojciechowski Architekci is responsible for the architectural design, WARBUD S.A. is the main contractor, and Hill International is providing project management services. Completion of the Skyliner II construction project is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.

WSP broadens role in U.S. Power, data center development.

WSP broadens role in U.S. Power, data center development. Industrial Info Resources is tracking more than $73 billion worth of active and proposed projects across the U.S. and Canada featuring WSP's services Released Tuesday, August 18, 2026 Reports related to this article: Summary. Two recent acquisitions have boosted engineering firm WSP's role in the North American Power Industry, but the company also maintains a strong presence in the transportation sector, with a growing role in data center development. Power to the people. WSP Global Incorporated is turning up opportunities by the billions in North America, where its order backlog reached a record $20.1 billion worth of projects during second-quarter 2026, a 23.2% jump from the same period last year. Executives attributed WSP's strongest organic backlog growth since 2022 to demand from the Power Industry. Industrial Info Resources is tracking more than $73 billion worth of active and proposed projects across the U.S. and Canada featuring WSP's services, nearly half of which is attributed to public transportation developments. While transportation's share of the total might seem commanding, it actually is much smaller than its share of the portfolio in past years. In a quarterly earnings-related conference call last week, Alexandre L'Heureux, the chief executive officer of WSP, pointed to its acquisitions of TRC earlier this year and POWER Engineers in 2024-as well as its acquisitions of Golder and Wood E&I earlier in the decade-as transformational to WSP's U.S. business. "Today, 35% to 40% of our business is in power," L'Heureux said in the earnings call. "I'm looking at the pipeline of opportunities, and I'm looking at the sub-backlog, and I'm looking at the collaboration between our sectors, and I'm very excited about the future prospect of WSP in the U.S." According to Industrial Info Resources data, about $10.5 billion worth of North American projects featuring WSP's services are in the Power Industry, led by Iberdrola S.A. 's Vineyard Windfarm offshore Nantucket. But that project, designed to generate up to 800 megawatts (MW), is mired in a legal dispute between its owner and technology provider GE Verona. Industrial Info Resources offers more information on the Vineyard Windfarm in its Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Power Project Database, where readers can find details-including construction schedules, investment values and necessary equipment -in a project report; readers also can consult Industrial Info's April 14, 2026, article - Contract Dispute Threatens Future of Vineyard Wind Offshore Windfarm. While Vineyard is the single highest-valued power-generation project, most of the U.S. Power Industry investments featuring WSP are in the transmission and distribution (T&D) sector. Two such projects for South Texas Electric Cooperative Incorporated started construction in fourth-quarter 2025: a 132-mile line from Christine to Realitos, Texas, and a 26-mile line from Campbellton to Three Rivers, Texas. The 132-mile line is entirely new, while the existing 26-mile line is set to undergo reconductoring to replace outdated components. Readers can learn more from detailed reports on the Christine-to-Realitos and Campbellton-to-Three Rivers projects. L'Heureux said WSP's power and energy business "continues to expand rapidly in the U.S., supported by heightened bid and proposal activity with investor-owned utilities. In this market, net revenues and hard backlog from our top 40 global power clients in the U.S. increased 15% and 20% year-over-year, respectively." By the Numbers * More than $73 billion: Total investment value of projects across the U.S. and Canada featuring WSP's services * About $10.5 billion: Share of these projects in the Power Industry * $20.1 billion: WSP's record-high order backlog at the end of second-quarter 2026 Big cities and big data. WSP's revenues for the second quarter totaled $5.4 billion, a 19.9% increase from second-quarter 2025. Net earnings were reported to be $246.1 million, an 11.9% decrease, which executives attributed, in part, to higher acquisition and integration expenses. Transportation projects, which make up the lion's share of active and proposed investments featuring WSP, include major projects in some of the largest cities in North America. The New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority brought WSP on as an engineer for its massive 2nd Avenue subway expansion in East Harlem, which is designed to relieve overcrowding on New York's Lexington Avenue Line, while Amtrak hired WSP for upgrades to the Frederick Douglass Tunnel in Baltimore, Maryland. Both projects are years-long developments that involve other widely recognized engineering firms, such as AECOM and Kiewit Corporation. Readers can consult detailed reports on the New York subway and Frederick Douglass Tunnel projects. Data centers are an emerging component of WSP's portfolio. The company already is involved in nearly $6 billion worth of data center construction in North America, including several projects for Microsoft Corporation, such as the addition of buildings SAT89 and SAT90 at a campus in Castroville, Texas. Construction on SAT89 started roughly one year ago, while SAT90 kicked off earlier this year. Microsoft's expansion is part of a broader surge in hyperscale data center investment intended to bolster capacity for cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) computing. Readers can learn more from detailed reports on the SAT89 and SAT90 projects. The Industrial Info Resources GMI Project and Plant databases offer a full list of detailed reports for projects mentioned in this article, and a full list of related plant profiles. Industrial Info Resources also offers a full list of reports for active and proposed projects across the U.S. and Canada featuring WSP's services. Key Takeaways * Major acquisitions have boosted WSP's role in the North American Power Industry. * Transportation projects make up the lion's share of active and proposed investments featuring WSP in North America. * Data centers are an emerging component of WSP's portfolio, including work for titans like Microsoft.
