A hotel and a dormitory with apartments for rent will be built adjacent to Grunwaldzka Avenue in Gdansk. - We planned to create modern architecture in good relation with the surroundings, hence the idea of slanted cuts in the facades, says Tomasz Janiszewski, owner of BJK Architekci studio.
The strip of the main artery of Gdansk - Grunwaldzka Avenue - is the part of the city that will develop dynamically. In recent years, investors have submitted more than 13 applications to verify the parameters of development and land use (10 in Oliwa and three in Wrzeszcz). They concern increasing the height and intensity of development and introducing a residential function.
A hotel and apartment complex with services is also to be built near Grunwaldzka Avenue, at Lewoniewski Brothers Street. The site is very well connected at the intersection of roads, pedestrian routes and the SKM Gdańsk Zaspa stop. The investor is the 4 PIK company affiliated with the owner of the City Meble shopping center located nearby. According to media announcements given by the investor, construction work will begin in mid-2026.
Between the buildings, designers have planned a quiet, well-lit public courtyard with greenery, rest areas and cafes.

The design of the new development was prepared by the Tri-City studio BJK Arch itekci, known for such projects as Olivia Business Center (including the tallest building Olivia Star), Winter's Residence, Baltic Terraces, Wendy 's and Off Miasto - a development on the site of the former Kłodno railroad station in Gdansk.
- Such a location encourages the introduction of mix-use functions, says Tomasz Janiszewski, founder of BJK Architekci. - The project involves the construction of two buildings (25 and 30 meters high). One will house a hotel, the other a dormitory with apartments. A total of 335 rooms will be built, the area will be 13, 6 thousand square meters.

inspired by sloping roofs
The entire development will sit on a single-story "pedestal" - the first floor of a retail, service and restaurant building of nearly 6,000 sqm. Below ground there will be a two-story garage hall with 480 parking spaces, a swimming pool and a fitness center.
The building will be distinguished by cutting slanted facades

- There are many buildings with sloping roofs in the immediate vicinity, explains Tomasz Janiszewski. - We planned to create modern architecture in good relation with the surroundings, hence the idea for slant cuts of the facades. By cutting the façade, we reduce the scale of the buildings and let southern and western light into the public courtyard. We designed the exterior facades in champagne-colored metal, while the interior facades are matte ceramic in sand color.
