These are extraordinary homes that showcase spectacular floor plans and superlative architectural design; all surrounded by exquisitely landscaped garden and river settings.

The developer is planning to build 10 residential buildings in 2 phases. In its first phase they will develop 4 buildings. Each building will have 4 floors and one roof floor. The layout of the building is decided to be a corridor with a bilateral situation of the apartments. Two elevators will be located on the each entrance of the building. A ski wardrobe, technical premises and storage room will be situated on the ground floor of each building.

The buildings are going to be surrounded by park environment. Wooden paths, kinder playgrounds, multifunctional sport playground (tennis, basket and volley ball); relaxation zone and wooden bridges are be made around the river which will connect the project with the City Park.

The Super Borovets Project - sustainable development at all stages!
