As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 21st of July, 2020, last year, the City Council of the City of Bjelovar made a decision to include itself in the Socially Incentived Housing Programme (POS), reports Lokalni.
In the meantime, the City of Bjelovar has secured the land necessary for the construction of the new POS apartments, published public calls for applications for apartments from the programme and adopted all of the prescribed spatial plans. Traffic, communal, energy and other infrastructure was also built, which is a condition for issuing a building permit.
Accordingly, the City of Bjelovar was recently visited by Dragan Hristov, the Director of the Agency for Legal Transactions and Real Estate Brokerage (APN) and his assistant Josipa Tokić. The reason for their arrival in Bjelovar was the signing of a pre-agreement on mutual rights and obligations between the City of Bjelovar and APN, as well as an agreement on the transfer of ownership to the Agency for Legal Transactions and Real Estate, which could allow the Agency to implement socially supported housing programmes in Bjelovar and as such request a building permit.
By signing this contract, the City of Bjelovar wants to provide its citizens with the lowest possible selling price per square metre of an apartment from the POS Programme.
”As many as 22 families contacted us and the price of the apartments should be below 1000 euros per square metre. At City Council sessions, we’re often asked what exactly we do for young families. This project is intended for them. We currently have about 200 building permits for these apartments. So, apartments are still being built, which is great news. Bjelovar has become a desirable to live, a lot of people have moved here, they are building their lives here, finding jobs, and planning for the future,” said Mayor Dario Hrebak, who has become well known for his modern stances on anti-corruption and administration digitalisation.
20 apartments will be built, and if there are some apartments left in the end, the City of Bjelovar will buy them itself to rent out. The apartments will be located in Antuna Šoljana Street in the northern part of the city.
