Integration of the new development into the existing development structure
Strengthening the residential and commercial function in the vicinity of the central downtown area
Creation of a high-quality neighborhood
Revitalization of a brownfield site in the inner area
This is an international, non-open, two-stage investor competition for which an association of investors with architects is permitted.
