Soletanche Polska, the general contractor for Marvipol Development's long-awaited Prosta Tower, has launched construction work on the residential project. The modern 20-storey building, located on ul. Prosta in the heart of Warsaw, will offer a total of 40 exclusive apartments. It will join a large group of luxurious residential projects revitalizing this area of the capital, including Atlas Estate's Platinum Towers on ul. Grzybowska.

"The prominent location, the high construction standard, the modern architecture and the limited number of apartments available for sale are the reasons why Prosta Tower is an investment which will offer the future tenants a new definition of comfort," said Agnieszka Stępień, a spokesperson for Marvipol. The building will also offer some office space, which will be occupied by the developer.

According to its design, which was drawn up by Stefan Kuryłowicz of APA Kuryłowicz & Associates, Prosta Tower will also offer a five-storey underground car park for 75 cars. Prices for the apartments, sized from 80-230 sqm, range from zł.23-25,000 per sqm.

"The design of the building makes it possible to purchase a whole floor and turn it into one apartment," said Stępień. The firm has already accepted several reservations for the apartments, which will be delivered by the end of 2008.

The company also recently initiated construction work on Melody Park, its four-building residential complex on ul. Puławska and along ul. Dolina Służewska in Warsaw's Mokotów district. The four properties will offer flats sized from 45-178 sqm and will be delivered in Q3 2009. Warbud is the general contractor the project.
