Repairs and revamp of the Trade Unions' Culture House in Bulgaria's second largest city Plovdiv and its re-purposing into an arts centre will start on April 7, the consortium that will carry out the works said on April 4, as quoted by investor.bg.
The official launch of the project will set out with a presentation of the architectural and building design in Saint Petersburg Park-hotel.
The consortium comprising Greek developer Aktor and its Bulgarian subsidiary won the tender under the Public Procurement Act at the end of last year. The project has also secured the approval of the Plovdiv municipality.
The first phase of the revamp is due for completion in 30 months' time. Once the 42.3 million leva project is completed, the House will have two multi-functional halls, a congress hall and an underground parking lot.
Aktor is part of Elliniki Technodomiki TEB Group. Among its landmark projects at home are the Music Palace, the Acropolis Museum and the expansion of the Athens underground. Foreign projects are underway in Kuwait and Dubai.
In future, it hopes to develop projects in Romania, Russia and Italy.
