The selected tenant is in the recurring bid

Remember that in the first half of July 2020, the Municipal Resource Board announced a tender for a tenant of a home above the moat. The tender was settled in mid-August, but the chosen tenant abandoned the signing of the contract. Therefore, on September 10, ZZK announced the re-lease action. Four interested people called him.

After analyzing the bids submitted, the Tender Committee decided that the best bid was made by Nasza Pączkarnia. As the representatives of ZZK noted, not only the proposed rental amount was taken into account, but also the economic credibility of the tenant and the experience in running the catering business.

The next step is to prepare the building for the opening. The company representative has already announced that it plans to arrange the interior décor in such a way as to give the Berg Café the pre-war atmosphere and flavor. – It was revealed in November of last year Thomas Jankowski Spokesman for the Municipal Resources Council in Wroclaw.

The historic booth has regained its splendor

Small building on the slope of the moat on Podwale Street, right next to it Partizantov HillsIt was designed in 1910 by the famous Wroclaw Architect Max Berg, designed among others the Centennial Hall. The building is used to house a gas reduction station in the basement and a milk pumping room on the ground floor. It was then rebuilt several times, and in recent years, there has been, among other things, a point of producing duplicate stamps and keys. In May 2018, it was entered into the Antiquities Registry, and has recently been fully restored.

The first tender to revitalize the building over the moat was announced by officials in 2017. However, it ended in miserable failure, as the only bid submitted significantly exceeded the judge’s budget. The contractor was selected to reconstruct the building for the purpose of establishing a café there after a second attempt, in early 2018 and 2019.

The construction work, which consumed less than 1.4 million Polish zlotys, was completed in the spring of last year. It included, inter alia, the renovation of the reinforced concrete structure of the entire building, the roof, the porch with handrails and antique floors. The original reinforced concrete interior walls were also exposed and secured.

We have restored the exterior stairs on the slope of the moat and handrails of the building, while preserving their original appearance. As part of the works, the contractor has also replaced all fixtures and connections to the building – List the Mayor of Wroclaw Jacek Sotrick.

The culmination of the project was the installation of the glass that forms the current space of the building, between the columns (sliding glass panels).

Thanks to this, the usable area is larger, in addition, it allows you to open up to the greenery located next to the trench. – It is to explain Sotrick.
