Czech Republic: A New Heart Beats in Brno Thanks to Soletanche Polska!<\/h1><\/div><\/div>Soletanche Polska is carrying out the foundation works for the future Dornych real estate complex in Brno, Czech Republic \u2014 a project set to become the city\u2019s new urban hub. In a dense urban environment, our teams are implementing a wide range of foundation techniques, including diaphragm walls, piles, anchors, struts, and micropiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>
<\/div>An emblematic project in the heart of Moravia<\/h2><\/div>Ahoj!<\/em> Welcome to Brno, Czech Republic. This is where one of the region\u2019s most ambitious urban development projects is taking shape: the Dornych project, designed to become the city\u2019s new beating heart. The large-scale construction is taking place on the site of the former Prior department store. For the client Crestyl, Soletanche Polska is performing the foundation works on behalf of GEMO a.s., a major player in the national construction market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>An ambitious architectural vision<\/strong><\/p>\nThe complex will comprise six modern buildings, with a total usable area of over 25,000 m\u00b2.
\nIt will include:
\n\u2022 a hotel;
\n\u2022 high-end residential apartments;
\n\u2022 restaurants and leisure spaces;
\n\u2022 shops and services;
\n\u2022 modern office spaces.
\nAll buildings will be connected by a shared underground level, housing parking areas and storage zones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
