Global experience in the re-planning of industrial territories was first utilised successfully in R\u012bga 15 or 20 years ago, when people came to the conclusion that abandoned industrial objects were truly an outstanding place for investments.\u00a0 Today such objects house museums, art galleries, as well as multifunctional complexes of entertainment centres, homes and offices.\u00a0 One of the latest projects of this type is called\u00a0Lakeside<\/em>, and it is located on the banks of Lake \u0136\u012b\u0161ezers, at the former Jaunciems Paper Factory.\u00a0 The body of water that is alongside the site, permission to build multi-story buildings and the high intensity of construction in the area \u2013 these are the main advantages of the location, says Vestards Rozenbergs, co-owner and board chairman of Baltic Sotheby\u2019s International Realty.\u00a0 He is an expert in the luxury real estate market.<\/p>\n

Global experience shows that many prestigious offices, flats and salons are housed not in new buildings, but instead in the facilities of former factories and industrial plants.\u00a0 International experience in the re-planning of industrial objects was put to use when the market economy first began to develop in Latvia.\u00a0 Many factories which were built with no concern for ecological considerations were shut down.<\/p>\n

All re-planned industrial objects in Latvia can be divided up into four categories \u2013 retail and office complexes, residential buildings, leisure centres, and logistics centres.\u00a0 Today they are an organic part of the urban environment and infrastructure, taking on not just new functional meaning, but also aesthetic value.<\/p>\n

Examples of this include the former Gypsum Factory (now a row of luxury flats on \u0136\u012bpsala Island), The Dream Factory (a venue for musical performances and entertainment), and M\u0101ra\u2019s Gardens (a residential complex), among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can also mention Hamburg, where the city centre includes one of the most famous re-planned industrial objects in the world.\u00a0 Restructuring of industrial zones has now become more active once again in Latvia, as well.\u00a0 Projects that were suspended in the past are being reinstated.\u00a0 Some of them are in the city centre or near bodies of water.\u00a0 Today these locations allow us to make use of the relevant advantages at a far higher level or quality and diversity than is the case with industrial objects,\u201d says Rozenbergs.<\/p>\n

Rozenbergs believes that the\u00a0Lakeside<\/em>\u00a0project is one such project.\u00a0 \u201cThere are hardly any locations in R\u012bga which are close to bodies of water and appropriate for the construction of new complex which satisfy ecological and environmental needs,\u201d he says.\u00a0 \u201cThe unique aspect of\u00a0Lakeside<\/em>, which is on the banks of Lake \u0136\u012b\u0161ezers is its location \u2013 the only location for construction with a high level of construction intensity \u2013 110%, with a maximum building height of five stories, as is dictated by the mixed residential and industrial zoning status.\u00a0 The complex has been registered in the R\u012bga Development Plan.\u00a0 The property has a 330 m boundary on the south-western shore of the lake and a 240 m industrial type cement pier.\u00a0 Alongside the property is the newly installed Jaunciems Port, which offers sailing and other types of water sports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Latvia\u2019s laws, particularly in terms of a recently adopted law on territorial development, allow old industrial objects to gain a second life.\u00a0 \u201cAt a conference of territorial planning professionals in R\u012bga at the beginning of this summer, it became clear that co-operation between local governments and developers is becoming more and more productive,\u201d says Rozenbergs.\u00a0 \u201cThat allows us to hope that carefully developed projects that have been implemented successfully in Europe can now be implemented in R\u012bga, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Very soon the people of Latvia, including residents, non-residents, landowners and investors, will be able to receive information about land use via the Internet, finding out about any encumbrances which apply to the specific object and taking part in public hearings about the new project without leaving their homes or offices.\u00a0 \u201cTAPIS is a territorial development information system which will be online in Latvia in 2014,\u201d says Ing\u016bna Urt\u0101ne from the Latvian Ministry for Environmental Protection and Regional Development.\u00a0 \u201cThanks to the TAPIS system, information about land investment projects will be more complicated, detailed, true and accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will make it easier for investors to take decisions that are based on tested information from a trustworthy source.<\/p>\n
