Its distinguishing features include an excellent location in the Old Town district, modern and functional design, large south-facing terraces and a high-quality finish.
The building consists of 6 to 14 floors, accommodating 324 units ranging in size from approximately 25 to 142 square meters. These will include standard flats, duplexes with full glazing and premium flats with terraces. The project will be dominated by studios, and one- and two-bedroom units. Gardens will be provided next to the apartments located on the ground floor of the building and a green courtyard will provide a recreational and park area for all residents. Two garage stories providing 205 parking spaces and storerooms have been designed under the ground.
Novum 3B is located in the northeastern part of the Old Town, in the center of Krakow. Residents of the development will have access to a rich infrastructure, including shops and service outlets, a shopping mall, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, and cultural and entertainment venues. The area is also adjacent to the University of Economics and easily accessible with an extensive public transport network. Excellent connections to other districts of Krakow and the surrounding areas are provided by the nearby Krakow Central Railway Station and bus station.
