Gdańsk skyline on the rise

Hines, a Texas-based real-estate investment firm, is planning to develop a luxury residential complex in the Gdańsk-Wrzeszcz area in the fall of this year.

The complex will consist of four 16-storey buildings with state-of-the art architecture. The four buildings will offer 270 luxury apartments, ranging between 50-160 sqm each, as well as a private balcony or a small garden. Each apartment will have a large glass window with a view of the city and residents will also have round-the-clock security at their disposal. The entire complex totals 23,000 sqm, which will also include a limited amount of office space and a small park. The planned investment will be located on ul. Partyzantów in the same region as the Gdańsk shopping center, Manhattan. Warsaw-based architecture firm Iryda will be designing the project.

Hines has not given the prices for the apartments at the moment, however it is expected that the flats will go on sale once the company has been granted its building permit in the fall. The company, which is one of the world's largest private real-estate firms, has built over 700 properties worldwide and has been on the Polish market since 1997.

Hines gained fame in Poland by building the Metropolitan building on Piłsudski Square in Warsaw.
