Belgrade Waterfront Expands to New Belgrade with 100-Meter Towers Planned

Belgrade's "Belgrade Waterfront" development is expanding to the New Belgrade bank of the Sava River. New urban plans propose the construction of towers between 85 and 100 meters high on the site of current gravel pits and concrete bases.

The expansion will increase the total area of the "Belgrade Waterfront" project from 330 to 347.22 hectares. The new zone, located between the Gazela Bridge and the Ada Bridge, is slated for transformation into a new urban area featuring housing, business facilities, and green spaces. A total of 558,000 square meters of residential and commercial space is planned.

The development aims to accommodate approximately 8,900 new residents, necessitating the inclusion of public facilities such as a primary school, kindergarten, and a health center. Green spaces, totaling 37.27 hectares, are planned along the Sava River bank.

Concerns regarding the project's proximity to a protected habitat for the lesser white-fronted goose have led to specific environmental measures. A 50-meter buffer zone of public greenery will surround the habitat, prohibiting construction. Building heights will be reduced in certain areas, and special measures for glass facades and lighting are stipulated to minimize impact on the birds' migration.
