Reconstruction of the city centre of Sopot in the PPP formula

Sopot City Centre Project

The revitalization of the City Centre of Sopot is one of the pioneering projects implemented in the formula of Public-Private Partnership.

We executed the project without the statutory legal framework, setting a standard on the Polish market for PPP projects. The project started with the procedure to choose a developer for the project in 1997, and the facilities were put into operation in 2009.

The legal formula of the project was entirely based on the act on real estate, because the PPP Act and the act on concessions for construction works and services entered into force in the years 2008-2009 – during the finishing works of the Project.

NDI participated in the project as a developer, investor and general contractor of all facilities.

More accommodation and conference facilities of the resort.

Premises for public services including the State Art Gallery and Tourist Information.

Infrastructure in the form of a road tunnel under the Monte Cassino street and rebuilt underground infrastructure.
