| Multi to develop Hay and Crayfish Market Area in Gdańsk The Consortium of Multi Development Poland Sp. z o.o. and Multi Corporation signed the Shareholders Agreement with the Municipality of Gdańsk regarding development of the area of Hay and Crayfish Market in Gdańsk. After signing the Preliminary Agreement - Shareholders Agreement and Articles of Association on October 14th 2010, MDP received a positive opinion of the Architectural-Urban Concept by the Pomeranian Historic Preservation Officer (PHPO) in December 2011. Multi also concluded the Settlement with the companies from PKP Group (Polish Railways). The competition for the development of Hay and Crayfish Market was announced by the Mayor of Gdansk in September 2009. Multi was selected by the City out of 12 developers. The investment, under the name of Forum Radunia, is located in the very heart of historical Gdańsk, one of the most important cities in Poland. With 456,000 inhabitants, it is the sixth most populated city in Poland and part of the TriCity agglomeration of 1.2 million inhabitants. Forum Radunia, due to its central location, will provide direct access through the Integration Hub in Armii Krajowej Street to the planned new bus and tram stops as well as the stops of the Fast Urban Railway. The investment will encompass the area of 5.5 ha. The main goal of the development is to revitalize and strengthen the inner-city of Gdańsk by creating a multifunctional downtown city centre, connecting retail, entertainment, culture, services and office space as well as a car park accessible for public. The Concept, by Multi's in-house architectural design company T+T Design, recovers historical urban lines and integrates the monumental Radunia Canal. In this way the history of Gdańsk is part of the new development. T+T Design's plan is based on a combination and integration of individual buildings, streets and squares, all developed with the high quality that Multi's inner-city projects are known and awarded for. A crucial part of the whole investment is to also accomplish the public objectives; such as construction of Heritage of Pomeranian Region Museum Building, development and modernization of technical and road infrastructure that will improve the existing and future passageway of two significant and crucial interchanges and construction of Nowe Podwale Grodzkie street. The PKP Fast Urban Railway in Tri-City will build a new stop, with a working name Gdansk Srodmiescie, so as to provide direct access to the public space including squares and boulevards which will be created. Development of the Platform over the railway tracks is expected to be one of the most impressive undertakings in the project. The Hay and Crayfish Market is to become a new large-scale centre of Gdańsk, a direct extension of the existing historical city integrating historical Gdansk with the rest of the inner city and its administrative part. The Project will be realized in two phases. The first phase will be completed by 2015/2016, whereas the realization of the whole investment is planned for year 2020. In the first stage the Platform over the railway tracks with multi-storey car park accessible for public and a Shopping Center with leasable area of ca. 45, 000m² will be realized. Simultaneously the public works will be conducted including museum building, roads and other infrastructure. The second phase encompasses the construction of an office park above the railway. write your comments about the article :: © 2012 Construction News :: home page |
