A new home for Danske Bank’s Global service center in Vilnius

Mitnija built a new business center for the M. M. M. Projektai

real estate development company in Vilnius. It was built in the

Žvėrynas neighborhood near the city center on Saltoniškių Street

in a former industrial area. The new business center became the

home of Danske Bank’s Global Service Center.

The project’s first phase comprises a 6-story, 12,000 square-

meter office building, a 340-space underground parking lot, and

130 ground-level parking spaces. The 2-hectare area managed

by M. M. M. Projektai can hold a total of 60,000 square meters of

commercial buildings.

The M. M. M. Projektai business center is distinguished not only

by its modern and efficient architecture, but by its state-of-the-art

construction and technological solutions. The roof of the A-class

energy efficient building features solar panels that will generate

a tenth of the structure’s required electricity. New bicycle paths

were expanded and installed around the structure along with 11

electric vehicle charging stations.

The business center was built according to sustainable

development principles and with the goal of earning a BREEAM

certificate. In this project, Mitnija focused not only on innovative

architectural solutions or engineering systems, but on responsible

construction management, the creation of convenient and

modern jobs during construction, and communication with the

local community as well.

A new office building for our repeat client M.M.M. Projektai in Vilnius

Mitnija is building the second stage of the business center for the

M. M. M. Projektai real estate development company in Vilnius.

The new office building, which is being built on Saltoniškių street

in the capital’s Žvėrynas neighborhood, will be located next to the

first stage of the business center, which was also built by Mitnija.

The first stage became home to Danske Bank’s Global Service

Center.

The 6-story, 15,000 sq. m. new office building will be constructed

in a Scandinavian style, with clean forms and a focus on

functionality, materials and technological quality. A 3-story 14,000

sq. m. underground car parking lot will also be constructed below

the building.

The new building, which is being developed by M.M.M.

Projektai, will meet A-class energy efficiency standards; it has

been designed to have the smallest possible impact on the

environment. For example, this will be the first time in Lithuania

that an office building’s sanitary facilities will use rainwater. A

tenth of the building’s energy needs will be generated from

the sun. The aim of the developers is to earn the BREEAM New

Construction EXCELLENCE certificate for sustainable buildings.

The spaces inside the new building will be

furnished according to the Activity Based

Workplace concept. This means that

tenants’ employees will be able to choose

the best-suited work environment for

different types of activities.

Mitnija will complete the construction of

the new office building by the end of 2018;

tenants will move in to the building in early

2019.

Building for a leading clothing retailer in the Baltics – a new office for Apranga Group in Vilnius

Just before Christmas 2016, we began constructing a new office

building and logistics center for the Apranga Group, which is the

largest clothing retail company in the Baltic countries. The new

15,400 sq. m. Apranga Group complex will be built in the 8.5 ha

Vilnius Business Park on Ukmergės street, which is a project of

the MG Valda real estate development company.

The complex will be located on a 3.6 ha site and will consist of

buildings between 1-3 stories in height. It will house almost 200

Apranga Group employees and occupy a strategic location that

ensures easy connections with Lithuanian cities and the other

Baltic countries. It also provides the opportunity for continued

expansion and ensures efficient logistics.

This first project at the Vilnius Business Park is special because of

its modern architecture, which harmonizes with the landscape,

and its high technical standards. The complex will have an A-class

energy efficiency rating and will feature geothermal heating,

heated flooring and an automatic temperature regulation system.

The buildings‘ façades, which will primarily consist of glass, will

be installed with long-lasting and easily cleanable materials.

Automatically regulated blinds will protect the buildings from

overheating and excessive sunlight levels.

New office building for our long-term client MAXIMA LT

Mitnija is continuing cooperation with its partner Maxima LT,

the largest retail company in the Baltic states. We have been

entrusted with the construction of a new 7,000 sq. m office

building for Maxima LT on Naugarduko street in Vilnius. This

building is now home to more than 400 of the company’s

administrative employees. We also built a new 4,500 sq. m.

Maxima XX store next to the building.

The combined area of the office building, the store and the multi-

level parking garage is more than 17,000 sq. m. We completed

their construction in 11 months.

While implementing the Maxima project, we also reconfigured

stretches of Naugarduko, Kauno and Smolensko streets and

adjusted their traffic planning.

A design and construction assignment from the AIBĖ retail chain

Mitnija has designed and is building a new logistics center in the

Kaunas district for the AIBĖ retail alliance, which unites more than

160 companies.

The new logistics center will cover 16,000 sq. m, about 5,000 of

which will be a temperature-controlled warehouse. The building

will also feature administrative facilities, a store, a cafeteria, and

spaces where culinary and confectionery shops can be installed.

While designing the building, Mitnija focused on ensuring the

efficiency of Aibė‘s business processes and keeping employees

comfortable. The building will feature modern ventilation and air

conditioner systems, rest areas and a cafeteria for employees,

and spaces that will be very open to natural light.

The logistics center is being created with modern

environmentally friendly solutions in mind. For example, more

than 50% of the heating energy required by the center will be

geothermal. Surplus energy from refrigerator cooling machines

will also be used to heat water. All of the logistics center‘s

engineering systems will be managed by an automated system.

Connecting Europe: building for Rail Baltica in Lithuania

Mitnija, along with the Kauno Tiltai transportation infrastructure

company, implemented one of the largest and most significant

railroad transportation projects in the region, Rail Baltica, which –

using a new European gauge – will connect Warsaw, Vilnius, Kaunas,

Riga, Tallinn and, by means of a train ferry, Helsinki.

In the fall of 2015, we finished laying, remodeling and updating the

first stretch of European gauge track from Šeštokai to Marijampolė.

We laid more than 70 km of railroad track, as well as remodeling

and updating the Marijampolė and Šeštokai railroad stations and

the Marijampolė-Šeštokai section. Additionally, we installed 18 sets

of switches, three different track intersections, 31 culverts, four

bridges with two lanes of traffic each, more than five km of sound

suppression walls, almost 800 m of retaining walls, ten crossings,

four viaducts, and one underground pedestrian crossing at the

Marijampolė railroad station.

Rail Baltica will undoubtedly alter the transportation systems of not

only Lithuania but also Latvia, Estonia, and Poland and will provide

residents and businesses with greatly increased possibilities. The

Baltic railroad systems will finally be integrated into the common

European Union railroad transportation system, allowing for faster

and more convenient travel and more active trade with other EU

countries, promoting economic development and integration.

The value of work completed by

Mitnija and Kauno Tiltai together

was the largest, compared to that of

the other four subcontractors – the

two companies laid 34.5 km of the

new 1435 mm European gauge and

remodeled 36 km of the old 1520

mm gauge railroad.

Building better healthcare in Lithuania

Kaunas Clinics, the hospital of the Lithuanian University of

Health Sciences, is the largest and one of the most modern

health care institutions in Lithuania. So when the client selected

Mitnija for construction of a new trauma and emergency center

there, for us this represented not only a challenge but also an

acknowledgement of our long experience and high-quality work.

The new Trauma and Emergency Center provides highly

advanced medical care to patients in 15,000 sq. m of intensive

care units, operating rooms, diagnostics facilities, laboratories,

and nursing care wards, where almost 200 patients can be

treated at once. More than 400 employees work at the Center.

In this new medical center, Mitnija construction workers had to

build 2 tunnels with a total length of almost 230 m, 17 operating

rooms, separate intensive care and emergency units, facilities for

laboratories and diagnostics, and even a helicopter landing pad.

Modern engineering solutions were used in the

construction of this extraordinary building: the operating

rooms feature stainless steel walls covered with certified

antibacterial surfaces. Air conditioning is provided by

modern cooling machines with integrated heat pumps.

Particular attention was devoted to the sterility of the

operating rooms, which have stainless steel doors. A tri-

level ventilation system that cleans the air very thoroughly

was installed in the operating rooms.

A new home for Lithuanian pharmaceutical science

Mitnija built a more than 11,000-square-meter Center for New

Pharmaceutical and Health Technologies at the Lithuanian

University of Health Sciences in Kaunas. Built in the city’s

Santaka Valley, and financed by European Union and Lithuanian

government funds, the new home of Lithuanian pharmaceutical

science is a unique multifunctional complex bringing

together the country’s scientists, teachers, and students from

pharmaceutics and other medical fields under one roof. The

modern, open-access center contains laboratories with the latest

equipment necessary to conduct scientific research.

The building stands out because of its

expressive architecture and complex structural

and engineering solutions. For example, at

the laboratory work stations we installed a

network that includes natural gas, compressed

air, vacuum, nitrogen, oxygen, helium, and

carbon dioxide as well as modern engineering

technologies that automatically regulate

heating, ventilation, and cooling in separate

spaces and conserve energy.

For the second time, Sanitex – a national leader in wholesale

trade, distribution, and logistics for consumer goods – chose

Mitnija as its construction partner. Over a period of 7 months, we

constructed a logistics and warehouse building of almost 16,000

sq. m in the Kaunas District. The building is an excellent example

of concern for the environment: it employs geothermal heating,

still a rare solution for such projects in Lithuania.

In 2012, Sanitex also chose Mitnija to remodel and repurpose

a facility of more than 24,000 sq. m into a shopping center,

housing a Sanitex’s Promo Cash & Carry wholesale store and an

Ermitažas home improvement store.

Eternit Baltic factory in Naujoji Akmenė

Mitnija has been entrusted with the construction of a new

13,000 sq. m cement panel factory in Naujoji Akmenė. Our

client Eternit Baltic is part of Etex, an international group that

manufactures construction materials and comprises more

than 100 companies.

The closest Etex façade materials factories are currently

located in Germany and Belgium. Products manufactured

at the new cement panel factory in Naujoji Akmenė will be

exported to markets in northern, central and Eastern Europe.

Mitnija constructed a logistics center and parcel facility for DPD Lietuva – one of the biggest international delivery companies

in Lithuania. The 5,000 sq. m logistics center was built in the Kaunas Free Economic Zone in a mere 9 months.

The DPD Lietuva logistics and parcel facility is located next to another exceptional project implemented by Mitnija – the

42,000 sq. m LIDL logistics and warehouse facility.

In somewhat more than 15 months, Mitnija built the

140,000-square-meter Akropolis shopping and entertainment

center in Kaunas. Located in the heart of the city on the site of

the former Kauno Audiniai textile factory, the three-level shopping

mall features 80,000 sq. m of retail space and a 2,500-car parking

garage of 60,000 sq. m. This was built next to the shopping mall

above Karaliaus Mindaugo Avenue.

In order to prevent traffic jams, traffic in the parking garage,

with its 12 ascending and descending ramps, is controlled by an

automated traffic flow regulation system. More than 260 stores,

cafes, and service companies operate in Kaunas’ Akropolis, along

with a seven-screen Forum Cinemas movie theater and an ice

skating rink.

We also built a shopping mall of more than 100,000 sq. m for

Akropolis in Klaipėda, of which 75,000 sq. m are devoted to retail

and entertainment. Located near the center of the port city, the

mall is home to about 250 stores and cafes and a six-screen

Forum Cinemas movie theater. Next to the mall, we built a 2,600-

car parking lot.

Akropolis. Building a completely different retail experience in Kaunas and Klaipėda

Based on the designs of architects Algimantas

Kančas and Gediminas Jurevičius, valuable

architecture from the Kauno Audiniai textile

factory was preserved in Kaunas’ Akropolis. We

scrupulously remodeled the factory buildings

and integrated them into the shopping mall,

thus making this project an excellent example

of blending unique cultural heritage and

modern architecture.

The Lithuanian Museum of Ethnocosmology was built in

Molėtai, a mainly rural district north of Vilnius, in 1990. As the

museum’s popularity grew, it was decided to thoroughly remodel

it, increasing its area threefold and providing it with modern,

futuristic architectural accents.

In 2008, Mitnija reconfigured, updated, and expanded the

museum to almost 2,000 sq. m., changing its appearance

completely.

The entrance to the observatory and museum is impressive. It

is an aluminum-plated, complex, ellipsoid building reminiscent

of an alien spaceship. In the great telescope tower, the main 80

cm diameter telescope has been installed. It is one of the largest

public telescopes in Europe.

Mitnija was awarded a gold medal for the project in the

Lithuanian Product of the Year competition.

Impressive futurism in a forested surrounding

The museum’s main accent is the ellipsoid

glass observation deck, measuring 18 m

wide and 36 m long and suspended 32 m

in the air. This impressive, futuristic glass

and metal structure, made of openwork

metal pipes and glass, rises above the

forests surrounding the museum and

creates the impression of a spaceship that

has just landed.

The new Obstetrics and Surgery block at Vilnius University

Hospital Santariškės Clinics is undoubtedly one of the most

modern in Lithuania. This 27,000 sq. m facility, built by Mitnija,

provides obstetrics, pregnancy pathology, neonatology, and

gynecology services of the highest caliber. The hospital is

also the home of the Center for Medical Genetics, Center

for Otolaryngology, Center for Eye Diseases, and Center for

Reconstructive Plastic Surgery, with state-of-the-art intensive care

units and operating rooms.

The hospital contains impressive engineering systems that are not

visible to the naked eye: a computer network, a local and satellite

TV system, a fire alarm system, and operating room audio/video

observation and recording systems.

The most modern maternity hospital in Lithuania

The supply of air, light, and medical gases in operating

rooms takes place by means of remote control, which

allows healthcare professionals to work particularly

effectively during operations. The air supplied to operating

rooms is humidified and dehumidified by special filters,

and the system ensures the right temperature, humidity,

and sterility. All of these engineering solutions allow for

the highest standards of sterility to be maintained.

Ąžuolyno Namai apartment complex in Kaunas

Mitnija is building the Ąžuolyno Namai apartment complex in

Kaunas. This cluster of six apartment buildings will be built near

the historic Žaliakalnis neighborhood in the center of the city. Our

client is the Egavi real estate development company.

The Ąžuolyno Namai concept was prepared by Danish

architecture company Aarhus Architektene and the technical

project was prepared by Simper, a Lithuanian company.

This apartment complex being developed by Egavi will meet

A-class energy efficiency standards. It will feature 84 apartments,

98 parking spots in an underground garage, and outdoor

and rooftop terraces. The apartments will be outfitted with

ThermoWood and hand-made ceramic clay tiles.

At Ažuolyno Namai, we designed modern, high-quality

apartments that make maximum use of natural lighting and

the green space surrounding them, following the subtle

traditions of Scandinavian architecture. There is plenty of space

between the buildings for common spaces like playgrounds

and private outdoor terraces. The buildings‘ façades will feature

environmentally conscious and long-lasting materials, and the

project will be dominated by clear and understated architecture

that reflects the characteristics of Scandinavian homes.

HOW WE DO IT

Sustainability

Mitnija aims to be Lithuania’s construction industry

leader in sustainable business practices. Our sustainable

development approach is part of the company’s general

policies, aimed at improving our performance. Above

and beyond the technical and construction quality of

our projects, our goal is to enhance their social and

environmental added value.

Our environmental policy and culture ensure that our

operations minimize environmental impact: selecting

construction materials and methods, using energy

efficiently, monitoring chemical substances, limiting

atmospheric emissions from transportation and other

sources, preventing soil pollution, and carefully managing

the disposal of waste.

Environmental responsibility

Our products and services affect the lives of many people

around us. This is why we give high priority to sustainable

business practices at Mitnija. This means respecting the

communities in which we work and acting ethically in our

relationships with customers, shareholders, employees,

public agencies, and business partners. It also means an

intensive focus on environmental issues to ensure that the

homes, offices, and other properties we build are healthy

and environmentally sound.

We also make sure that we take the environment into

account when working with our customers and business

partners in the design and pre-construction stages. This

may involve implementing new solutions for more efficient

heating or cooling, taking full advantage of natural light

sources or focusing on recycling.

5352

FOCUS ON SAFE AND HEALTHY WORKING

ENVIRONMENT

Everyone working on the construction of the projects

we build is required to follow strict health and safety

regulations. That is because we want our employees to go

home safely at the end of the day. Another reason is that

we want people to live in homes, work in offices, hospitals,

educational centers or travel on railroads that were built

with zero accidents and where builders experienced a

healthy and safe working environment. We firmly believe

that an emotionally and physically healthy and safe

atmosphere at construction sites has a direct impact on the

quality of the work – we want good, positive emotions in

the walls of the buildings we construct.

FOCUS ON BUSINESS ETHICS

Providing equal opportunities to all our employees is

extremely important to us – as is doing business in an

honest, straightforward way. At Mitnija, we serve our

customers without resorting to corruption, under-age

workforces, bribery or any other anti-competitive actions.

FOCUS ON PRODUCT RESPONSIBILITY

Our reputation is one of our most important assets and

we aim to safeguard it by delivering high quality products

Social responsibility

and services. The first step in doing this is to know exactly

what customers and other stakeholders want. We must

know their needs and expectations and be responsive,

which requires close, regular contacts. The next step is

to be responsible for quality by continually developing

and improving management system. Clear reporting,

accountability and management control support our quality

assurance work.

FOCUS ON HUMAN RESOURCES

Mitnija’s success depends on our people. This is why we

have to make sure we attract, develop and retain the best

in the industry. Our human resources strategy focuses

on creating sustainable jobs and ensuring professional

development programs at all levels: sharing the company’s

success with employees by constantly improving employee

motivation and incentive programs; protecting each

employee’s health and safety; fighting discrimination and

promoting diversity.

Defined by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and

other international legislation, fundamental human rights

are vital to us all. These rights are universal and inalienable.

A consistent relationship with all employees, built on

mutual respect and dignity, is a cornerstone of Mitnija’s

human resource work.

Mitnija’s overall goal is to ensure profitable operations and returns

to its shareholders. At the same time we strive to balance the

need for shareholder returns with the best interests of others

around us – our customers, business partners, employees and

society in general.

For Mitnija, customer satisfaction is our foremost priority. This

is why we try to establish a high-quality, responsible customer

relationship at the earliest possible stage of a project. We devote

great effort to analyzing our customers’ needs and expectations,

and we make promises only when we are certain we can fulfill

them. We are sure that this is the only way to build trust and long-

term relationships with our customers and to deliver the agreed

quality on time and within budget.

Balanced and responsible relationships with our suppliers and

subcontractors are another very important priority for Mitnija. We

understand that mutual trust, professionalism and effectiveness in

our relationship with business partners yield in great benefits for

all parties involved and create numerous opportunities.

We are also committed to working with business partners that

share the same values and culture as we do.
