Barbados in Wrocław

ZPO Otis, the owner of Szewska Centrum and DH Kameleon in the center of Wrocław, is constructing an office building named Centrum Barbados on ul. Ofiar Oświęcimskich. The investor won't reveal the value of the investment, but the works have already started. The complex was scheduled to be completed at the end of 2006, but the works will take longer due to an argument with the owner of a neighbouring building.

The eight-storey building, including one underground floor, will have a total space of over 6,200 sqm. The top floor will host 1,250-sqm apartments with kitchenettes. Shops and service providers will be located underground, on the ground floor and on the first and second floors. The middle floors provide the main function of the complex, offices. According to the investor, if the demand for office space is high, the first and second floors may also be adapted to offices.

Paweł Szkoda from Pracownia Usług Architektonicznych Sapr in Wrocław, the complex's designers, has planned a glass facade with numerous stone details. The ground floor will be divided by a pedestrian passage linking ul. Ofiar Oświęcimskich and ul. Oławska. The western part will have an entrance from two streets.

The investor will not provide any extra parking lots in the complex. The neighboring Szewska Centrum, ZPO Otis's other building, already has 343 parking spaces.
