Cornerstone Laying Ceremony for the Flagship Investment Project of Poland’s Orco Property Group
Warsaw, Poland (September 26, 2008) – A cornerstone laying ceremony was held today for luxury apartment building Zlota 44, the flagship investment project of Orco Property Group. The event was attended by the two originators of this dynamic project – Jean Francois Ott, President and General Director of Orco Property Group and Daniel Libeskind, world renowned architect and designer of the Zlota 44. The city of Warsaw was also represented and consecrated by the Metropolitan of Warsaw, Archbishop Kazimierz Nycz as well as city government representatives who have been involved in the project since its inception.
Zlota 44, an impressive 192m high tower, will be a luxury apartment building at the very heart of Warsaw. Dubbed the “Glass Wing” because of its sweeping glass façade and bending walls, Zlota 44 will bring life and brightness to the city center. The impressive, 54-story edifice will house 251 fully finished and equipped apartments with facilities such as concierge service, sun terrace, 25m long steel swimming pool, sauna and spa. Its spectacular form, environmentally friendly technology and ultra modern architecture will make it one of the most innovative and groundbreaking projects ever offered in Poland.
“Building a high-rise residential tower is not just an economic idea; it’s also a sustainable idea,” said Libeskind. “Zlota 44 has been designed to the optimum level of sustainability and bringing people back to the center and promoting urban life is equally important. This site is just meters away from where my mother lived with her large Hasidic family, I feel as if I’ve come full circle, in my life, with this project.”
