Two-level underground car park
An integral part of Gdańsk's revitalization
The opening of a new, two-level underground car park on Granary Island marks a significant development in facilitating access to Gdańsk's Old Town. This facility provides nearly 500 parking spaces, along with a dedicated area for bicycles, aiming to offer a more straightforward option for those visiting this historic district.
A complement to urban development
This centrally located car park is part of the broader Granaria urban development project. This project has received recognition, including the MIPIM Award 2020 for Best Urban Project. The car park's presence supports the overall development, which encompasses 552 luxury apartments, 37 commercial units, and the Cloud One Hotel Gdańsk. Its position helps connect visitors to the rich tapestry of Gdańsk's Old Town, including its streets and historic architecture. The nearby Marina Gdańsk, along with a range of restaurants, cafés, museums, and shops, are within convenient walking distance. Additionally, nearby bus and tram stops offer connections to other parts of the city.
Reflecting a respect for heritage
The car park itself is an element of the Granaria vision, which seeks to integrate modern urban living with a respect for Granary Island's historical significance. This area, once a prominent economic center during the Hanseatic era, is undergoing a process of renewal to regain some of its historical prominence.
Practical features for accessibility
With 469 parking spaces and a designated bicycle area, the design of this facility emphasizes accessibility. Its central placement is intended to reduce distances to key areas of Gdańsk. As a component of the recognized Granaria development, the infrastructure aims to meet a standard of quality and provide a functional environment for users.
Supporting exploration of Gdańsk
For both residents and visitors to Gdański's Old Town, this underground car park on Granary Island serves as a point of arrival. It aims to contribute to a more accessible experience for those exploring the district's historical and contemporary offerings.
