Instead of the old commercial center of Vilnius, a huge complex of apartments and business centers is planned, and a new boulevard is being built.

However, construction did not start anyway and the old buildings of “Audėjo” remained standing. However, in November this year, new project proposals were submitted to the capital municipality, in which a huge complex of office buildings and residential apartment buildings should be built instead of the Audėja buildings.

• A, C, D, E, F: hotel buildings for long-term lease (concept of coexistence);
• B: residential purpose – apartments;
• G, H: administrative purpose – offices.

Houses B and D will have underground storage for automobiles and common utility facilities. It is also mentioned that buildings can be constructed in separate stages, preparing separate technical projects and obtaining separate building permits. The division of the construction of the complex into stages will be decided later.

“The area in question will be divided into two regulatory zones of different heights: 5 and 7 floors. A commercial function is planned in the busy and noisy part of the plot along Drujos street, between it and the planned residential neighborhood in the former territory of the Markučiai factory, a residential function is planned – apartments and apartments for rent. Mixed functions and public spaces formed within the dependencies of the commercial part – patios ”, – the project proposals are written about the future complex.
