Stara Rzeznia in a new version

Vastint Poland has presented its revitalization concept for the post-industrial areas of the Stara Rzeznia (the Old Slaughterhouse) in Poznań. In keeping with its plans, the historic buildings of the former meat plant will be carefully restored and offer service, retail, and gastronomic premises, as well as cultural and exhibition spaces. The company will construct residential and office buildings around the plazas, squares, and alleyways that replaced the demolished buildings from the time of the Polish People's Republic. The usable area of the complex will exceed 80,000 sqm.

The presented concept is the result of many months of work by teams of architects under the direction of Przemysław Borowicz, and then the JSK studio, in cooperation with city authorities, the City Architect, the Municipal Conservator of Monuments, and the Municipal Urban Studio. 

“We are aware that this neighborhood is of great importance for Poznań. We very much wanted to showcase valuable industrial architecture and build a harmonious neighborhood with its historic surroundings: the Old Town, St. Wojciech’s Hill (Wzgórze Św. Wojciecha), and the Cemetery of Meritorious Inhabitants of Greater Poland (Cmentarz Zasłużonych Wielkopolan), as well as the planned Museum of the Greater Poland Uprising (Muzeum Powstania Wielkopolskiego), and the recreational areas of the Citadel (Cytadela),” said Roger Andersson, Managing Director of Vastint Poland.
