“Dom przy Źródle” is located in one of Cracow’s most up-and-coming districts – Stare Podgórze. The project, whose main contractor is Eiffage Polska Budownictwo, with Eiffage Immobilier Polska as the investor, is being developed at the corner of streets: Podskale and Kalwaryjska, near Rondo Matecznego, a roundabout. Stare Podgórze aspires to repeat the success of the other two very popular districts of the city, Kazimierz and Zabłocie. Thanks to its rich gastronomic, recreational and educational infrastructure, it is ideal for people who enjoy active recreation and the attractions of city life. Podgórze boasts many restaurants, fitness clubs, a shopping mall with a cinema, while the Vistula Boulevards and the surrounding parks and squares invite for walks. Families with children can also feel at home here, due to the proximity of schools and nurseries, health centres and pharmacies.

Apart from Rondo Matecznego – one of the district’s main junctions, the location has other advantages. The project is not more than a 12-minute walk away from two large parks – Bednarski Park and Florian Nowacki Planty, as well as the banks of the Vistula River. Another one is hidden in the project’s name – “Dom przy Źródle”, which literally translates as “The House at the Spring”, refers to the nearby balneotherapy centre “Mateczny Zdrój”. The early-20th century spa building houses a spring of mineral waters discovered by Antoni Mateczny, whose name was given to the nearby roundabout. Surrounded by a beautiful old park, the resort remains an undiscovered pearl of Podgórze.

“Dom przy Źródle” is the second investment project of Eiffage Immobilier Polska. The first project developed by the company is the small apartment building “Villa Sadyba” in Sadyba, Warsaw. In both cases, the general contractor is Eiffage Polska Budownictwo, a sister company from Eiffage Group in Poland.
