Dear customers, we are pleased to inform you that the State Inspectorate of Architecture and Urban Development of Ukraine issued certificate ІУ123250404640 dated 10.04.2025 on the commissioning of building No. 4 of the Krona Park II residential complex (Brovary), which certifies the compliance of the completed facility with the project documentation and confirms its readiness for operation. The next step is to assign a postal address to the building and issue keys to apartment owners.
Krona Park II is a continuation of the legendary Krona Park project, which was so popular with customers that the developer decided to create a new and improved version of the complex. And this is not surprising, because there is nothing better than living next to a park and a coniferous forest and at the same time having convenient connections to the capital. Currently, 8 more houses of the complex are under construction.
We are sincerely grateful for your trust and wish a happy future to your families in the Krona Park II residential complex by Alliance Novobud!
