Real Estate / MNE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY , LOFTS, U SCHEIBLERA, LODZ [36]

My condo went through similar in Vancouver. The developer ran out of money at 80% and the banks forced the developer into receivership. Every situation is different but I can certainly sympathize. In the end it worked out well for us and the development although it looked bleak in the beginning - so there is hope? Alternatively the Vancouver Olympic village also went into receivership and the presale buyers ended up purchasing at a huge premium. (30%), with not much hope of selling to break even anytime soon - maybe in 10 years?

What is the status of the development now - is it one ghost town?

Real Estate / Advice on Lodz - the less desirable parts of Lodz (to avoid)? [6]

My previous post in the wrong category... here it is re-posted (I will try to delete the other one).

I'm Polish/Canadian and I will be relocating to Lodz mid-May. I'm fluent in Polish. I lived in Slupsk, Poznan, and Szamotuly before and travel to Poland on a regular basis (yearly). I'm starting to look for accommodations, and am just wondering about the less desirable parts of Lodz (to avoid).... just please don't be smart and tell me Lodz is the less desirable area of Lodz. Also my daughter will be going to school in the fall (kindergarten) so recommendations on a good school would be cool and any info on private schools possibly ?? are there any in Lodz for preschoolers?

Also if anyone has a space to rent perhaps please contact me. I'm looking for a 3 bedroom, about 80-120 sqm, with a patio/outdoor area. Can be an apartment or a row/house. My budget is about 2500 PLN per month.

Thanks,
Mike
