Two bedroom apartment for sale in Downtown One

The apartment has a gross area of 159.14 m2 and a net area of 124 m2

It is organized in a living and cooking area, two bedrooms, wardrobe room, storage room, two toilets and a balcony

It is located on the 33rd floor of the building

Downtown One is envisioned as an expression celebrating Albania's progress, located in the center of Tirana on Bajram Curri Boulevard, south of the Lana River.

On its main facades, the 140-meter rectilinear tower contains a series of cantilevered houses and offices, forming a relief pattern on the surface of the building.

Each house or office represents a village or town, so when viewed from afar, these consoles form an abstract map of Albania.

"Albania has come a long way. Ten years ago it was the poorest country in Europe. It is now a country of energy and ambition, working towards major economic improvements. We want to express this with our building," says Winy Maas, co-founder of MVRDV.

With an area of 77,000 square meters, Downtown One will give the center of Tirana a significant boost through a mix of apartments, shops, offices and restaurants.

The 37-story tower does not stand parallel to Bajram Curri Boulevard, but is rotated on its plot so that its main facade faces Skenderbey Square.

At its base is a park with local vegetation and an educational playground, while the interior of the building is divided into several layers: above ground floor commercial space and underground parking, the lower half of the tower is dedicated to office spaces, while the apartments occupy the 18 upper floors.

In both projects, the Rotterdam office seeks local architects and engineers as partners and works with them according to the latest BIM guidelines. Since the area is prone to earthquakes, the works are carried out according to the strictest European construction standards and quality.

MVRDV designed Downtown One on behalf of Kastrati Construction, a Kastrati Group company. Arup is supervising the structure and MEP, with the Albanian firms Elteknik as MEP engineers and LEAL as structural engineers. The local partner and co-architect is the Albanian firm DEA Studio.

The apartment comes with a parking space worth 70,000 euros
