Vinci lands two Polish building contracts

5 Apr 12 Vinci has won contracts to build a new concert venue in Katowice and a Warsaw complex inspired by the Flatiron Building in New York.

Vinci Õ¥Ö­¼§ company Warbud will build the new venue of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice. The 35,000m2 structure, whose architecture suggests a sheaf of sheet music, will house a 1,800-seat concert hall, a 300-seat chamber music auditorium, a music education room for children and a jazz club. The project also covers the area around the building, including an outdoor amphitheatre and green spaces. The works, with a value of €45.5m (£37m), will take 20 months to complete.

Warbud will also build the Plac Unii complex in the centre of Warsaw. Plac Unii Lubelskiej is a major hub and a historic square that brings together two neighbourhoods, Śródmieście and Mokotow. The project, which covers a total surface area of 105,000m2, includes two 7-level buildings and a 90m, 21-storey tower that takes architectural inspiration from the Flatiron Building. A glass roof at a height of 30m will connect the three buildings. In addition to 41,000m2 of office space, the Plac Unii complex will house a three-level, 15,500m2 shopping centre with restaurants, cafés, shops and a supermarket. The works, with a value of €60m (£50m), will be completed in 20 months.
