Predović (GIP Pionir) buys land from Jamnica for the construction of 6000 apartments

The company Paron, owned by Ranko Predović, the owner of the construction company GIP Pionir, has purchased land in Zagreb’s Peščenica this year that was previously owned by Jamnica plus. This land covers an area of 34,215 square meters, which has been added to other construction parcels already owned by Predović’s companies.

Thus, the total area of Predović’s construction land in that part of the city is about 200 thousand square meters, on which, according to a real estate expert, around six thousand apartments can be built.

Paron already has a huge parcel in that part of the city, covering about 30 thousand square meters, and besides it, on some of those parcels, his other company – GIP Pionir – is also registered as the owner, as seen from the land registry extract.

As we unofficially learn, the company Paron paid 22 million euros to the company Tehnikagradnja for the land covering more than 34 thousand square meters, which was registered in the land registry in January this year after it was purchased from Jamnica plus.

The owner of Tehnikagradnja is Vladimir Poljak, but it is connected to Predović’s Paron through Mara Krasniqi, who is the director of both companies.

We sent an inquiry to Predović in which we specified the price for the parcel purchased from Tehnikagradnja, but we did not receive a response even after the extended deadline. We asked him about plans for that part of Zagreb and when the start of construction and completion of projects are expected, considering that we unofficially learned that applications for obtaining a location permit have been submitted for all those parcels. Otherwise, the entire area of the city is now being transformed from an industrial zone into a residential one.

In addition to high-rise construction, GIP Pionir is also involved in low-rise construction projects. The most current project is the reconstruction and construction of a new 1.8-kilometer-long Sarajevo Road in Zagreb, which will be 40 meters wide in parts, and will have three traffic lanes in each direction, a green belt for the tram track (which is being built by Strabag) with two tracks in the middle, as well as pedestrian and bicycle paths on the edges. The value of GIP Pionir’s works is 12.45 million euros (excluding VAT), and completion is expected by the end of this year.

Additionally, they recently applied for the construction of the Ranžirni kolodvor viaduct on the A11 Zagreb-Sisak highway, or for the second part of the expansion of Sarajevo Road, an important infrastructure project for the City of Zagreb, but they lost to China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC), a Chinese company best known in Croatia for the construction of the Pelješac Bridge.
