First apartment building tops out on site at PINEA Resort in Pobierowo, Poland

Construction of the first apartment building at the PINEA Resort in Pobierowo, Poland, is ahead of schedule, with the building now having topped out on site.

The reinforced concrete works, including concreting the roof, were completed before Christmas, with the building on course to be completed in mid-2021.

The 55,000m² GBA PINEA Resort complex consists of three main buildings containing 175 private apartments, a 156-key, 4-Star Hilton Garden Inn hotel and a 150-room condo-hotel with an associated spa, swimming pool, physio rooms, saunas and sports facilities (c.1000m²). Additionally, there are shared underground car parking and servicing zones.

The signature saw-tooth external architecture of the buildings will ensure that all rooms have stunning views of the Baltic Sea while offering privacy to residents and guests using the balconies and terraces.

The buildings’ green roofs have been designed to achieve a high bioactive green area ratio (60%), as required by the local development plan. The resort design also prioritised the protection of the area’s biodiversity and the existing costal landscape habitat.

The project was designed using advanced BIM-based design tools, including a point-cloud-based topographical survey – allowing us to create a collaborative architectural and structural BIM model alongside separate MEP models.

With Phase 1 (the private apartments) being built, construction documentation is currently being produced for Phase 2. Chapman Taylor designed PINEA Resort for Fenixco, a joint venture of Belgian and Polish investors, with Strabag Construction acting as general contractor on phase 1.
