A complex with thermal waters to be built in Bryukhovychi

 

A multifunctional complex with thermal waters is planned to be built on Kurortna Street in Bryukhovychi.

A two-storey shopping centre, a food court, and a large spa centre are to be built here, and a hotel with a spa and a medical centre will be set up near the thermal pools. In addition, there will be public and residential buildings with underground car parks and a public park. The chief architect of Lviv, Anton Kolomeitsev, announced this today, 12 July, during a meeting of the executive committee of the Lviv City Council.

The 10-hectare plot where the construction is planned is privately owned by Thermal Park LLC. It is planned to drill two wells and arrange hot outdoor pools. Using the thermal potential of Bryukhovychi, a large reservoir will be formed, following the example of the pools in Zakarpattia. The complex will be built according to the models of Japanese culture and their knowledge of the healing properties of thermal water. Japanese architects will be involved in the design of the complex.

Currently, there are many valuable trees on the site of the future complex, most of which will be preserved.

“The detailed plan of the territory, which was adopted before the inclusion of Bryukhovychi in the Lviv city territorial community, provided for the total felling of the entire site. And today, the legislation in this case is on the side of the developer. However, the company showed responsibility, understanding the value of this green area and having worked out the concept in detail with the architects, they decided to preserve most of the greenery and create a public park inside the complex for all residents of Bryukhovychi. This park is on the same scale as one of the oldest parks in Lviv, Franko Park. There will be many entrances to the park from all sides. There will also be an alley connecting the centre of Bryukhovychi with Kurortna Street,” said Anton Kolomeitsev.

The city’s Department of Architecture and Spatial Development prescribes distances not only from the facades to the street, but also the preservation of the entire green contour to make it impossible to build inside it.

The developers plan to create new streets – up to half a kilometre in length – with bicycle and recreational infrastructure.

“We have received a number of letters of guarantee stating that the community will have unimpeded access to and use of the entire territory. There is also a guarantee obligation to simultaneously build both housing and public and recreational functions,” added Anton Kolomeitsev.

The day before the executive committee meeting, a public discussion of the project took place in Bryukhovychi. The meeting was attended by several dozen concerned residents, the authors of the project, and the owners of the 10 hectares of land where the construction will take place. The city was represented by Deputy Mayor for Urban Development Liubomyr Zubach and the city’s chief architect Anton Kolomeitsev. During the meeting, which lasted more than an hour, the project’s architect, Julian Chaplinsky, presented its main advantages. In particular, the fact that the investor agreed to completely redesign the previous version and place the buildings around the perimeter of the territory, leaving the green core. Thus, 64% of the existing greenery on the territory will be preserved.

“I believe that this facility will be the beginning of thermal history in Bryukhovychi. What will it bring to Bryukhovychi? Traffic to Lviv will be reduced, as residents of Bryukhovychi and neighbouring villages will have all the infrastructure available in Lviv. We are also talking about taxes, economic development and real jobs. This is a good example of how to combine nature conservation and finally launch the topic of thermal power plants, which have been discussed for as long as I know,” summed up Julian Chaplinsky.

The residents agreed that the project is beautiful. The only common warning from all the participants was whether it would be followed during construction.

“We did not have the practice of talking to the community and presenting something before the construction started. We want the city council to take into account the mistakes of the village council. We want everything that has been declared today to be written in the urban planning documents and to be built,” the residents summed up at the meeting.

The chief architect of Lviv noted that this developer has not discredited itself over the years of construction, so the city has no reason not to trust it.

According to preliminary forecasts, construction on this site will take 5-6 years.
