On Tuesday, the project for the multifunctional complex of Kantrida Stadium was presented at the premises of the City of Rijeka.
The project includes a new stadium with over 12,000 seats, a hotel with a ground floor and 4 floors, approximately 200 rooms, and three towers, one of which would have 35 floors with a height of 116 meters.
At night, the stadium will be illuminated in the club’s colours, reminiscent of the “distinctive ship with oars and emphasised bow – a hallmark of the Armada.”
Due to issues arising from stormwater and rising sea levels, the designers envisioned the construction of a one-kilometre-long canal, Sportske novosti said.
The site for the new stadium is old home of NK Rijeka – Stadion Kantrida. The club was based there for years but moved to Stadion Rujevica a few years ago so it could be reconstructed.
The entire project is worth more than 150 million euros, and its official name is “Multifunctional Complex Stadium Kantrida.”
The consortium which has officially expressed interest in financing and implementing the project includes the following entities: Black Kite E&C Investment Fund (Luxembourg), Fiume Kantrida Development LLC (a subsidiary of Black Kite E&C Investment Fund), Teanna Ltd (London), ZDL Architects (Rijeka), Aestus Development LLC (Rijeka), and Kamgrad LLC (Zagreb), Sportske novosti reported.
