The third largest city in Serbia, Niš, is becoming a large construction site - old houses in the city center are being torn down, and the construction of multi-storey buildings begins. Architects warn that the load on the infrastructure is not taken into account
Many old, authentic houses in the center Niche they were upgraded or demolished to put private investors in their places they built buildings, and a similar fate awaits other old buildings in the core of the city, Juzne Vesti writes.
This is evidenced by official data, and pictures on the ground show that they have already started somewhere multi-storey buildings are springing up.
The architect from Niš warns that the load on the infrastructure is often not taken into account and that aesthetic norms have become a secondary matter.
They upgraded a bit.
The streets on the quay near Nišava are considered by many residents of Niš to be the most beautiful part of the city, and the old, authentic houses give them their "soul", according to many.
In recent years, however, those houses have been a "bait" for private investors, who upgrade them with additional floors or completely demolish them, in order to build buildings in those places.
For some, the Niš City Construction Authority has already approved the building permit, for some the location conditions, and some investors are widely announcing new, modern buildings on their websites in various locations in the city, including in those streets around the quay.
Examples are the yellow house in Stefan Prvovenčani and the old villa in Mačvanska, and a similar fate awaits the house at Milentijeva 27. It is a house with an authentic yellow facade, which will soon be "transformed" into a building with two more floors.
The house at Lola Ribara 16 will be completely demolished and a four-story building will be built there, and the same is true of the house at Jablanička 6, where a four-story building will also be erected.
The five-story building will be built at Učićel Tasina 23, where there is also a house now, and a seven-story building is planned instead of the house at Episkopska 27.
Instead of the pink house in King Stefan the First Crowned, an eight-story building should be built.
According to the urban planning project, which was confirmed on April 3 this year, the removal of all buildings for the construction of the building is also planned in Sime Matavulja.
The new building, according to the urban planning project, will be on the corner of Takovska and Zona Zamfirova, as well as at Sestre Baković 3, and the investor in both locations is Kuća Petrović, owned by the husband of city councilor Ivana Cvetković.
Under construction
In some locations in the wider center of Niš, buildings are sprouting up.
Thus, a five-story building is being built at the corner of Kej Mika Paligorić, Vladimir Gortan and Vinaverova, a five-story building at Zelengorska 25, a six-story building at Vojvode Mišića 81, a seven-story building at Cara Dušana 140, a five-story building at Jug Bogdanova 31, a four-story building at Jeronimova 11, a five-story building at the corner of Vardarska and Novopazarska, an eight-story building at Janko Veselinovića 19, four-story building at Stevana Nemanje 41.
Floor mix and infrastructure load
Speaking for Južne vesti about the trend of demolishing and rebuilding old houses in order to build buildings in September 2023, Niš architect Zoran Čemerikić said that the main problem is the mix of floors in the city core.
He also believes that not enough attention is paid to the heavy load on infrastructure and traffic.
Construction is also taking place outside the center.
Apart from the center of Niš itself, a lot of urban planning projects have been announced for the construction of buildings in Pantelej, which has been rapidly expanding and being built in recent years, and there are projects reported in other Niš municipalities as well.
According to data from the Bureau of Statistics, 226 building permits were issued in Serbia in May of this year alone, of which 85,8 percent relate to buildings, mostly residential.
The construction of 3.549 apartments has been reported, and of the total number of permits issued, 5,6 percent are in the Nišava district, where the estimated value of the works in new construction is higher than three billion dinars.
