Every neighbourhood deserves its own landmark. So far, Riga’s Grīziņkalns is a largely residential area with patches of an industrial past and a still-functioning liquor factory lining the railway. It has no true beating heart. Our vision for a former factory building is to transform it into a lively hub for residents, employees and visitors who arrive on foot, by train, bike or car. Clearly visible from the Zemitāni bridge, the Grīziņdārzs mixed use quarter would serve as the neighbourhood’s business card.
