At the beginning of 2022 DUWO announced to us their intention to transform the rooms of three towers (1, 8, and 10) on Opaallaan into independent housing, as well as major maintenance required due to the age of the buildings. The work is so extensive that it can only be done if the towers are empty. The work will take place (in a kind of sequence) per tower. For this, 70% of the residents in each tower must agree to the proposed renovation and the accompanying social plan. This social plan offers relocation allowances and guaranteed rehousing on the complex for tenants who are still enrolled in an educational institution.
Tower 1 is scheduled to be empty by July 1, 2023. Tower 8 by February 2024. Tower 10 by October 2024. At the end of 2022, DUWO asked the residents of Tower 1 to agree to the renovation. Recently, DUWO informed us that 80% of the tenants in Tower 1 have agreed to the renovation. Therefore, it can proceed. Tower 1 must be empty by July 1, 2023. DUWO will encourage the remaining 20% of residents to agree to the renovation. If necessary, DUWO will take the matter to court. The court will then assess it according to Civil Code no. 7, article 220.
Tenants in towers 1, 8, and 10 who require information and support from Duwoners regarding the announced renovation can always contact us.
