"Tower in the Cadastre building", the government tender for the 40-story tower at Liqeni opens!

State-owned buildings will be turned into high-rise towers, where state-owned property will be given to private firms with only a percentage of the construction. The government's initiative was launched by the Albanian Investment Corporation, which was created specifically to alienate state buildings and land. After some services and public works were granted by concession, it is now the turn of these assets, where dozens of buildings will become shopping centers, hotels, bars, restaurants, etc. A dangerous initiative and not consulted with the interest groups, where the current government is behaving as "the owner of everything", even the air. But, at the time of the protests or the SPAK files, the government acted "in the shadows", opening tenders for the construction of these flyovers in the Public Procurement Agency. The Territorial Development Agency has even approved the decision of a tower on the land and building where the Albanian Land Registry is located.

VoxNews has secured the documents of these tenders, opened by the Albanian Investment Corporation. The first document is for the project "Development and management of state buildings", where the sub-project is "construction and management of the Albanian Cadastre building".

The corporation has opened the procedure with the object "development through entrepreneurship of LIFT Tower". The decision came in parallel with the decision of the AZHT, which approved in point 5 of the last decisions the development permit for the "State Cadastre Building and Lift Tower", lot 2, located in the Municipality of Tirana, with the subject developer Corporation of Albanian Investments.

The corporation has 100% state capital, which has as its sole shareholder the Ministry responsible for the economy of the Republic of Albania. "The investment project aims to transform old state spaces and buildings that currently show signs of depreciation, degradation and outdated, non-contemporary infrastructure and where the existing conditions show the need to improve the quality of the properties. The public interest pursued by the investment project consists in improving the working conditions of public officials as well as in energizing the city by bringing about the development of the urban areas where the properties are located," this document states.

According to her, the project is realized through a partnership model, where the Corporation has the role of developer and mediator between the public institution that has an interest in developing its properties and benefiting from contemporary buildings and the private partner that possesses financial, human resources and executive capacities and has an interest in the realization of the investment project. A kind of concession, where public property is given to the private!

However, the Corporation writes in the decision that the private partner ensures the profitability of the investment made by avoiding any bureaucracy and ambiguity regarding the status of the property (certified state property), in obtaining permits (the Corporation has applied for obtaining a development permit from the KKT on the architectural project-ideas of the two buildings), as well as in any relationship with public authorities, but he also in cooperation with the Corporation help to realize the public purpose of this investment project. So all procedures are followed by this corporation.

"The corporation through this international public competitive procedure intends to select the private partner, in the capacity of Entrepreneur for the development of the property for entrepreneurship, realizing the architectural project-idea of ??the union of the entities Baukuh Studio Associato & Muoto & Sam Chermayeff Office & Yellow Office & Bollinger Grohmann & Atmoslab & Simoj Boudvin & Archimade", the decision states.

VoxNews secured the project that will be erected at the Cadastre, where a huge tower is planned to be built. It is a tower of about 40 stories that will replace the 2-story building of Kadastra. It is expected that the Cadastre will receive a percentage of the construction, while the rest will be given to the private sector. So, for a 40-story tower, where thousands of square meters will be built, where the price in that area is going up to 3 thousand euros m2, the state is expected to receive only those square meters that the Cadastre currently has. Or something more or less, where the officials who will negotiate are not yet known.

The document states that "the offer that offers the highest value of this percentage is declared the winner", as the applications must be submitted by hand or by mail, until January 6, 2025.
