Modernism in Silesia

Developer Globe Trade Center is planning to build a complex of high-standard apartments in the Silesian city of Katowice. Called Apartamenty Moderna, the investment will be located near ul. Mikołowska in the city center. Sales of the units in the project, which will be carried out by the Ober-Haus real estate agency, are expected to be launched in May.

The project's design, prepared by the Katowice-based STABIL architectural studio, provides for the construction of three buildings whose height will range from five to nine storeys and which will house a total of 384 apartments sized from 30-142 sqm. One-, two- and three-room units as well as spacious two-level apartments will be included in the offer. Inhabitants of the complex will have access to an underground parking lot.

"Apartamenty Moderna is the first project of this kind in Katowice. It combines many features of an ideal housing estate: location in a cosy part of the city center, a unique architectural design that draws on the best modernist traditions of Katowice, varied apartment sizes as well as functional apartment interiors and a rich retail and services supply base," said Michał Melaniuk, commercial director of Globe Trade Center. "We are convinced that Apartamenty Moderna will be the best address for all who are looking for a comfortable and elegant apartment in this unique atmosphere-infused part of the city," he added.

Globe Trade Center is active in the residential, office and retail segments of the real estate market and is present in seven Polish cities. Among its previously completed residential investments is the CEE Real Estate Quality Award-winning Osiedle Konstancja project located between Warsaw and Konstancin.
