Potential for development and construction

The 1,649 m² plot offers significant development opportunities, exceeding the existing building:

• New building on the east side - at the location of the current garages, the plot and configuration allow for the construction of a new building with 250 m² of floor space and 14 m in height, for industrial or rental use, with the possibility of an underground garage. Such a project represents a significant lever for value creation.


• Conversion of the attic into lofts - there are already plans for such a project (architectural variant), illustrating the creation of two lofts with ~68 m² in the attic (height under the roof 3m20, height under the rafters 1m80).


• External elevator - installation possible on the west side, making the floors fully accessible and significantly increasing their rental value.
