No houses fit for a king

The plan envisaged the construction of three buildings on the Plac's western side: the reconstructed Saski and Bruehla palaces and a five-storey construction on ul. Królewska. In return for the construction, at a cost of some zł.400 million, the investor was offered the commercial use of the Bruehla palace and the building in ul. Królewska. However, with the city insisting on a short-term lease of the lands, the investment looks all but unprofitable. The city will now announce two separate offers: one for the construction of the Saski palace, and a separate tender probably for the sale of perpetual usufruct of the two neighboring plots of land.
