Zlote Tarasy project shortlist to be announced next week
A shortlist of candidates to undertake the construction of the Zlote Tarasy
trade center in Warsaw, a project estimated to cost $250 million, will be
announced next week. The three leading contenders, according to Puls
Biznesu, are Poland's own PIA Piasecki in partnership with Besix of Belgium,
Skanska of Sweden, and Hochtief of Germany. "This is not yet the final
shortlist. We haven't yet made a final choice. There are more companies
competing," said Jerzy Hanczewski, deputy president of ING Real Estate, the
co-owner of Zlote Tarasy. He did confirm, however, that PIA Piasecki,
Hochtief and Skanska were among the candidates. Work on the Zlote Tarasy
development, which will change the face of Warsaw city center and is one of
the biggest ever investment projects in Poland, is scheduled to begin by the
end of May. (Puls Biznesu, p. 4) P.J.
