In detail
The construction will span 28 months and is structured as a public-private partnership valued at 98 million euros. The objective of the project is to revitalise the city centre, both in terms of public functions and urban architecture. Critical structures such as a civic centre, association offices, underground parking, luxury apartments, a boutique hotel, boutiques and shops and much more, will be developed as part of the project.

CLOSE-UP ON THE PROJECT
The local municipality understood that vital structures were missing in the city that failed to meet the services needed for commercial activities, residents, and tourists. The former railway station area was deemed a critical spot to develop a hub which could accommodate the city’s needs. The intervention aims to transform the area into an urban service square, along with underground parking facilities which are readily needed for the city.
The public buildings that are currently located on the site, which include the former station building, the "Ski Pass" office, the Public Toilet building, storage areas, and former workshops, totalling 4,081 square meters, will be renovated. Other public works include the creation of a guesthouse space, the construction of the police station, and the revitalisation of two currently abandoned buildings that will become accessible for community use as multifunctional spaces. In addition, a Boutique Hotel, an apartment complex, and approximately 1000 square meters of commercial space will be developed.
The redevelopment project adheres strictly to the principles of the LEED certification. The construction areas will be managed through a sustainable approach, including a focus on utilising eco-fielding materials and advanced technological solutions which will minimise the environmental impact of the project.
