Warbud to construct apartments in Kraków
Polish general contractor Warbud has signed a PLN 14,681,000 contract with developer 'Czerwone Maki' to construct a residential project in Kraków on ul. Bobrzanskiego. Over 70% of Warbud's shares are owned by Vinci Construction, a division of the French Vinci Group. Wlodzimierz Wlodarczyk is the company's second biggest shareholder with a stake of over 20%.
Fewer apartments at start of year
21,600 residential units were delivered to the Polish
market in the first two months of 2002, a 16% drop compared to the same period
last year.
According to the Central Statistical Office (GUS) the biggest decrease, of
33%, was noted among building co-operatives (spóldzielnie) (4,900 flats).
There was, however, very little change in output from the private sector,
which delivered 9,800 units to the market.
