Ventana shows off

The Westmark-Venessa consortium has recently completed two show houses in the Ventana complex located in Walędów, on the southern outskirts of Warsaw. The sale of the Ventana villas was launched at the beginning of the year.

"So far we have sold 20 out of the 33 houses planned within the first stage," says Krzysztof Ruciński, president of Venessa. "The show houses have significantly helped in that," he adds.

The two houses, which have been visited by over 350 people, are 259 sqm and 357 sqm in area. They are completed and fully furnished, one in a traditional style and the other in a more modern motif.

"We have prepared the show houses so that our clients can make a conscious decision," says Dominik Cwajda, marketing specialist for the Ventana project.

Due to the houses' popularity, the company has altered its initial plans. Instead of the 16 houses scheduled within the first stage, 33 will be completed by the end of the year. However, the number of houses has been lowered from over 150 to about 100 because customers insisted on larger yards.

The first residents will move into the complex at the beginning of 2008, and the last ones by the end of 2009. The developer plans six types of houses with total space ranging between 160.4 and 470.83 sqm. A service zone around the development will host a multi-functional building with shops, cafes and a kindergarten, but the final designation will depend on the needs of the future residents. The complex, which will also include recreational areas and additional parking lots for visitors, will be surrounded by attractive hand-made fencing.

The price per sqm ranges between zł.6,000 and zł.7,000 depending on the size of the plot.
