This week, a wreath was laid over a new real estate (RE) object in Vilnius Old Town – the building complex “Sanguškų Parkas”. It marks the highest point of the load-bearing structures and the halfway point of construction work. The 12 thousand sq. m. building complex of “Sanguškų Parkas” will transform the territory between Subačius, Žiupronių, K. Vanagėlio and M. Daukša streets, returning its historical value, according to a press release.
"We see this project as an opportunity to restore the historical value of this part of the old city of Vilnius. For centuries, the lands owned by nobles and monasteries were desecrated by Soviet garages and warehouses until the construction began. Now, with sustainable and long-term architecture and construction, we can honor the name of the nobles Sanguškas - it was they who began to take care of this territory in the 17th century," said Viktoras Zubrecovas, deputy director of the project developer, RELEVEN.
For the project, HEIMA studio has created a complex and interesting architectural solution, which includes 55 apartments with different layouts. Some of the apartments will have 3-meter ceilings, while the ceilings and panoramic windows of the attic apartments will reach up to 5,5 meters.
The builders of Sanguškų Parkos say that this facility gave them the opportunity not only to apply their knowledge of construction in Vilnius, in the old town specifics, but also to gain new experience working in a sensitive historical environment.
"Creating a project that is harmoniously adapted to the environment in the Old Town, characterized by uneven facades and different materials of roof structures, is a unique experience. We faced specific challenges, such as installing new electrical infrastructure or navigating an extremely large crane, capable of lifting more than 500 tons, in a small plot space."
This project allows our team to combine three decades of experience working in historic sites with state-of-the-art engineering solutions that will make these homes exceptionally comfortable for the residents.
"We highly appreciate the conscious approach of developers to construction in the capital's Old Town: in order to preserve its uniqueness, we must ensure that new objects here reflect historical trends," says Tadas Grincevičius, head of Naresta, one of the largest construction companies in Lithuania.
Currently, more than a third of the apartments in Sanguškų Parkas have already been sold. Their buyers and future residents are lovers of the Old Town, families who send their children to nearby schools (French, Meridian Lyceums, or the International American School), and investors have also purchased apartments.
A new park will be built in the low-rise "Sanguškų Parks" and the city's green zone will be improved at the intersection of Žiupronių and M. Daukšos Sts. Vilnius residents who like to walk around the Old Town will be able to add these areas to their already familiar route, which includes the Bernardine Gardens, Paupis and the nearby Bastėja. In addition, a new cultural space "Missionierių kiemas" will soon open in the courtyard of the neighboring Missionary Church.
