Vicar plans new homes in Mokotów

Vicar, the company behind the Polypharma office building, is planning to construct a residential complex on an 18-ha plot located on ul. Bobrowiecka in Warsaw's Mokotów district. Currently, the investor has already received the building permit and is looking for a general contractor. Construction works are planned to begin in October this year and the 267 apartments are scheduled for completion in Q2 2008.

Since the investor wants to build a residential estate with a peaceful atmosphere and a lot of greenery, it will consist of just two buildings located on a large plot. "We have a 170-year-old black alder so we are restricted to special norms concerning the density of buildings. It will be surrounded by large green areas. There will be three playgrounds for children and cars will not enter the common space," says Andrzej Walicki from the sales and marketing department at Vicar.

The residential complex has been designed by the JEMS Architekci studio. The space of apartments, each of which will be 2.9 meters high, will range between 50 sqm and 140 sqm and the penthouses will reach 200 sqm, and will have loggias instead of balconies. As an option, residents will be able to use the common air-conditioning system. The investor is planning an underground parking lot for 340 cars.

According to Walicki the development will be aimed at young people with an income above Poland's average. The price per sqm hasn't been decided yet but it will not exceed zł.10,000 and will depend on the size and location.

Apart from Bobrowiecka, the company is also working on other residential projects, including one on a 13-ha plot in Las Chojnowski and another on Wyspa Spichrzów in Gdańsk.
