Hauke-Bossaka Street enhanced by a new residential development
Next year, the face of the Wróblewskiego Square will change dramatically. Already in Summer of this year, the area between Hauke-Bossaka and Traugutta streets, will be developed with a five-storey high building.
Eleven years ago this area was developed with building. Foundations of the buildings were damaged by the flood of 1997 and they had to be demolished.
Now, in place of the former building, Verity Development owned by an Iran-born businessman wants to construct a tenement house. It will comprise 32 apartments: from 40 to 140 square meters floor area. The groundfloor of the building will accommodate commercial premises. The building will be ready in one year and a half. Verity will cover only part of the square – adjacent to the existing tenement house on Hauke-Bossaka. The remaining part is still waiting for its investors.
Building constructed on the site can be only 25 meters high. ‘They have to be of the same height as the tenement houses located nearby’, explains Marek Żabiński, deputy of the director of City Development Office.
In the future, part of the square will be used to extend Pułaskiego street which runs close to the market place. It will be added to new lanes. The fist works will be commenced in 2009. In the meantime, in the next 6 years, the so called Społeczny Square will be also developed (starting from the Odra river, up to Mazowiecka street and the main building of the Post Office) which borders on Wróblewskiego Square.
