By the way, the new plan not only covers the area of the Mítico hole, but also the block between Kralja Milutina, Kralja Milana, Svetozara Markovica and Njegosheva streets, where the Park and Hilton hotels are located, which will remain in the existing capacities because there is no more room to build anything.
When it comes to roads, there will be no major changes. It is expected to maintain the regulation of all the streets mentioned as in the existing condition, with the exception of Belgrade street, whose regulation has been extended in the part towards Slavija Square in accordance with the implementation of the first prize winning contest solution.
Svetozara Markovića Street will remain in its current state, but is indirectly planned instead of administrative parking.
Likewise, according to the General Planning Plan of Belgrade, a Slavija underground public garage is planned five minutes from the Mitic hole, with a capacity of about 450 parking spaces, with access from Deligradska street and Prote Mateje street.
According to the General Metro Project, in the contact area of the plan, on the Mekenzijeva-Nemanjina Street route, the metro line 2 with the “Manjež” station, which will connect Mirijevo and the Zemun train station, is planned.
The plan also includes the connection of the facilities to the existing street water supply network, as well as the existing collectors of the general atmospheric and used water system along the route that passes through Nemanjina street.
To supply electricity to the planned facilities, the construction of the necessary number of transformer stations within the facilities and underground cable lines is planned, as well as the construction of an access telecommunications network. Planned consumers can connect to the existing hot water network.
The plan is on public display until March 29.
Mitic hole history
In November 1940, Vlada Mitic, a well-known wholesaler, decided to build a large department store, the tallest building in Belgrade, 60 meters high, with 14 floors, on the site of the “Rudnicanin” cafe on the corner of Kralja. Milana. and Belgrade Street, which he became owner of in 1935, inspired by German department stores. The department stores of the wholesaler Mitic were conceived as a kind of vertical “commercial city”, which, according to the newspaper “Vreme”, would allow the “little worker” to satisfy all the consumer’s needs, in the shortest time and with the minimum consumption. of energy.
The designers of the Mitic department store, Miladin Prljevic and the Berlin architect Schaefer with the designer George Lazarevic, came up with a solution based on the already built Terazije skyscraper – the Albanian Palace, with the addition of a specific tower with a gallery – a gazebo at the top of the building. The magazine’s ambitious project, characterized by innovative technological solutions such as an automated parking platform, an escalator for visitors, and modern fire protection, was supposed to take two years to complete, but World War II interrupted this plan.
After the war, the communist authorities nationalized the land. From 1946 to 1980, construction began several times at a place called Mitic’s Hole, each time without success. In the early 1980s, the city government arranged the site as a park with the main motif of a sundial, which was dismantled in 1992 to lay the foundation stone of the Dafiment Bank building in the Mitic hole, but construction was abandoned.
Since then, the Mitic pit area has been devastated and neglected until it was redeveloped into a park area in 2003.
