Gajić stated that in the past year, many works were completed on the building located next to Milentija Popovića Street: rehabilitation of the reinforced concrete structure and strengthening of the building in accordance with the new seismic regulations and norms of the Eurocode; active work was also done on the energy rehabilitation of the facade.
She pointed out that the Sava Center will retain its recognizable external appearance: green glass, a sloping facade, and complete geometry, which are some of the features of the building.
As of interior works, Gajić stated that modern systems of electrical installations and mechanical installations are being implemented, and that the next steps will also refer to modern stage technologies because, as she says, the plan is for the building to have impressive, modern technology that goes with congress tourism events.
"We are expecting a very dynamic year and the grand opening of the congress part of the facility in November 2023, after which we will continue to deal with facility B and the blue hall, which certainly represents the "jewel" of the Sava Center and the most sophisticated element to which we pay special attention," said Gajić.
It is expected, she added, that more than 100 million euros will be invested in the Sava Center, and that the facility, which covers more than 100,000 square meters of gross area, will be a combination of new and old.
She said that the Sava Center will retain its purpose, which it had before the reconstruction.
"It is a large congress center where film screenings and concerts are held. In addition, the Sava Center used to have a shopping area, retail space, and office space, and we will keep all the purposes of that building, but we have organized them in a different way so that they can function independently and do not interfere with each other's work," Gajić said.
The Sava Center building is more than 40 years old. Delta Holding bought it from the City of Belgrade in November 2020 for 17.5 million euros.
