Echo Investment could start work on the Vistula River project thanks to an agreement reached in 2001 with the Polish Olympic Committee. As recompense for the possibility of developing four office buildings on a site belonging to the POC, the Kielce developer undertook to construct the Olympic Centre (Centrum Olimpijskie).
