Offloading tenements

Rather than renovating or demolishing city-owned tenement blocks, authorities want to sell them and use the proceeds for constructing new council flats. The city's real-estate management office will arrange the tenders for "several dozen" buildings, but initial bureaucratic problems seem to be hampering the initiative, and it has not yet decided exactly which tenements are up for the chop. To date, Warsaw officials have only managed to process the sales of four buildings, and investors will soon be able to make a bid for two buildings in Mokotów (ul. Piaseczyńska 54 and Obrzeżna 18g) and other tenements in Praga Południe (ul. Elsterska 3) and in Ursus (ul. Kadłubka 30). The city has tried to sell some of this property before.
