Wrocław is one of the oldest cities in Poland and is the historical capital of the Silesia Region. With a population in excess of 600,000 it is Poland’s fourth largest city.
In November 2009 a Building Permit was issued by the Municipality of Wrocław for the mixed use complex Centrum Metropol, located in the city centre in the quarter of Piłsudskiego, Komandorska, Bogusławskiego and Świdnicka St . The main railway station is located within 300m of the development, together with an avenue connecting Wroclaw downtown to A4 Kraków – Berlin motorway.
Centrum Metropol comprises of a 150 bed 4 star Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, 600m2 Conference Centre, 13,000m2 ’A-Class’ Office Space, 36 Apartments, retail units of different sizes and 221 publicly accessed secure underground carpark spaces.
The design of Centrum Metropol is a salute to the history of Piłsudskiego street, by reference to the metropolitan golden age of the early 20th Century. The development is divided into segments, which are similar in scale, volume and character to the existing Piłsudskiego street buildings. Existing classic facades are reflected in the proposed composition of the Metropol Centre’s facade, with its differentiated and rhythmically perforated elevations, typical of city centre edifices.
