Totalbud tops off Apartamenty Księcia Janusza

Construction
POLAND Totalbud, the leader of the consortium building Apartamenty Księcia Janusza in Warsaw, has now topped off the building.

The investor behind the project is the Spółdzielnia Mieszkaniowa Koło housing cooperative. “The construction work is on schedule. The building has a reinforced concrete column and ceiling structure, while the external walls are made of clay masonry units. The design of the building is to a very high standard, thus we have not had any problems with the technical documentation, which is not always the norm on domestic construction sites in the residential sector,” says Tomasz Grochowski, the project director at Totalbud. Apartamenty Księcia Janusza will have above-ground floors of between four to six storeys and an underground car park on levels -1 and -2 levels – a total of 162 parking spaces. The building will comprise 71 apartments with areas ranging from 42 sqm to 120 sqm, with four retail/service units on the ground floor. The construction process started on October 10th 2014 and is due to finish 19 months later. The project was designed by the FS&P Arcus architectural studio.
