The office building Vydrica Offices, which should be opened at the beginning of next year, is already in an advanced stage of construction on the waterfront. At the same time, preparatory work for the construction of the most prestigious residential building Vydrice V4 is already underway. Both the launch of sales and the start of construction of the 2nd stage of the project are expected in 2025, the construction of the 3rd stage should start a year later.

"It's amazing to watch how the first stage of Vydrica already set a new standard for the further development of this location. I am convinced that the completion of the entire Vydrica in the coming years will create a unique and culturally rich urban environment in the sub-castle, which will serve the residents and visitors of the city for generations to come," says Zoltán Müller, Chairman of the Board at VYDRICA Development.
