Hill to Provide Project Management Services for Transformation of Historic Bakery Into Student Residences and Four-Star Hotel...
30 April 2020 - 9:00PM
Hill International (NYSE:HIL), the global leader in managing
construction risk, announced today that it has been selected by
BaseCamp Student to provide project management services for a new
project in Wroclaw: the transformation of the historic Mamut bakery
into student housing and a four-star hotel.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the
former Mamut bakery complex on Sienkiewicza Street in Wroclaw was
one of the largest bakeries in Europe, processing 8 tons of bread
per day in 1945. The historic complex will now receive a second
life, transformed by the renovation and adaptation of its two
buildings. In less than three years, the Mamut bakery will become a
modern, 775-room student apartment building with a wide range of
multipurpose common spaces, serving students attending any of the
many colleges and universities in Wroclaw. Recently, the new design
of the facilities was revealed by Grupa 5 Architekci, the designers
engaged to create a modern living space while preserving the
architectural uniqueness of the buildings.
As part of the new complex, a new four-star,
six-story hotel will be built, opposite the famous Botanical Garden
of the University of Wroclaw. This hotel, the future Hotel Vienna
House Easy Wroclaw, will offer 236 double rooms and four
apartments. The facility will also include a 360-SM conference
center, a fitness area, a restaurant, a lobby with bar, and an
underground car park.
“We are excited to team up with BaseCamp and
support this unique project with our project management and
technical supervision services,” says Jacek Zurawski, Hill’s vice
president and managing director for Poland. “We look forward to
bringing our extensive experience and lessons learned to the
successful delivery of this investment”.
Hill International will provide project
management and multidiscipline technical supervision services for
the approximately 45,000-SM project.
BaseCamp is a student housing network that
develops and operates student housing facilities in Denmark,
Germany, and Poland. BaseCamp’s mission is to provide fantastic,
fully-furnished accommodation to students.
“We are honored to be part of such an important
redevelopment and expansion project,” says Hill Chief Executive
Officer Raouf Ghali. “It is a privilege for all of us at Hill to
have the opportunity to give a second life to this historic complex
and transform its buildings into modern facilities for new
generations.”
