VOLTA BLOG I New buildings erected: see how much has been achieved with the construction of the Volta quarter

VOLTA BLOG | New buildings in the Volta quarter

In the Volta quarter exciting times are underway: in the spring, the corner stone was laid on the first new building in the quarter, and to date, several new buildings have already been erected on the plot, hidden from the public eye. The historic Volta Galerii Lofts will be ready already this autumn, while the first new buildings of the quarter, the Volta Residences, will be completed in the winter.

A total of six new buildings

The full height of the first new buildings of the quarter, i.e. the buildings of Phase I and II of Volta Residences, will be reached in the fourth quarter of this year, i.e. autumn, and the first apartments will be completed by the end of the year. The construction of Volta Residences will be completed in the first half of 2023.

The Volta Residences buildings, hidden in the peaceful privacy of the inner quarter, offer a selection of 1-4-room apartments, lofts with internal floors and different levels, as well as exclusive penthouse apartments with a wonderful view of both the sea and the old town. The buildings are connected as a whole by a green park with high vegetation and recreation areas, which will be built inside the quarter.

Although these are new buildings, the design of the buildings resonates with the industrial architecture of the entire quarter and is inspired by Volta’s legendary waffle machine. The buildings have floor-to-ceiling squared windows and balconies with decorative borders, which as a whole resemble the grid and angular shapes of a waffle machine.

The most special limestone building in the quarter

However, before the new buildings, one of the most unique buildings in the Volta quarter, i.e. a 172-meter-long limestone house with arched windows from the beginning of the last century, – Volta Galerii Lofts – will be completed. The full height of the buildings has already been reached, but the building will be ready for moving in in the fourth quarter of the year.

In the historic building, townhouse and loft-type apartments with ceilings up to six meters high over three floors and commercial spaces will be built. Homes of up to 150 square meters also include a 100 square meter private landscaped lawn and terrace.

The Volta quarter, consisting of 29 buildings, will be completed by 2025 and will provide living and working places for nearly 3,000 people.
