\"Bldg-corner\"<\/p>\n

There is plenty of room for involvement! \u00a0Let us tell you why and how.<\/p>\n

For a while you may have followed our construction development project in Tirana, and we can tell you that its realization is on schedule and it is entering its final stages of completion.<\/p>\n

The structure that was planned two years ago to replace the original residence of the Ivanaj Family, built by two patriotic brothers, Martin and Mirash, in the middle 1930\u2019s on what was then a virgin soil zone, is now a modern 9-story, L-shaped building at the intersection of two main streets in what is now Tirana\u2019s city center and upper scale part of town (only 7 minute car ride from\/to Tirana\u2019s main square).<\/p>\n

\"Part<\/p>\n

This entire complex (to be named \u2018Rezidenca Ivanaj\u2019) that includes underground garages and embraces an inside courtyard of assorted (to be planted) greenery, has its outside perimeter already lined up on both street angles by newly planted (\u2018bliri\u2019-\u2018tilia\u2019) lime scented trees, and completely reconstructed sidewalks. \u00a0\"garden-base\"<\/p>\n

The entire first floor of this establishment is totally dedicated for use by the Ivanaj Foundations of Tirana and New York, as headquarters for their operations and development of planned programs and projects, benefitting Albanian culture and educational within the country and abroad.<\/p>\n

\"Floor-3D-layout\"<\/p>\n

Setting up of these premises for their intended purposes is a real challenge for a variety reasons, and it involves all sorts of expertise in addition to the basic architecture. To eventually be able to open our floor to all we want to serve, we are glad of being able to cope with whatever needs to be done now, including the very dissimilar and unsystematic European way of work from what we are used to, based on decades of successful projects\u2019 implementations in the U.S.<\/p>\n

One particular item that will face visitors when they exit our private elevator to enter our floor, is going to be a marble \u2018Honor Wall\u2019 where we hope to engrave the names of individuals, businesses, institutions that will become major donors to our organizations.<\/p>\n
