Silver City

Silver City is a unique combination of luxury apartments, offering all amenities to its residents and a multitude of services and equipment, only found in the best 5-star hotels.

The development is based on a "house-in-a-building" concept (first in the country), with specially designed large garden terraces. Each terrace is partially roofed by the upper terrace and has a beautifully styled open garden area. The apartments are amphitheatrically situated with living rooms and garden terraces facing the spacious inner private garden. This original architecture provides them with a view to Vitosha mountain to the south.

The modern sports facilities, including a swimming pool, fitness/health centre, mini golf, combined with the numerous services provided, create a new, unmatched lifestyle for owners and residents. They are people for whom the luxury, convenience and services are of primary importance when choosing a home.

Security is the second name of Silver City - a gated compound where comfort is under a 24 hour protection by professional staff.

The most up-to-date construction technologies, natural gas heating, air-conditioning, controlled access underground garages (a minimum of one garage allocated to each apartment), information technologies, sports and leisure facilities, child care, private gardens and a lot of extra services - this is Silver City.

And more - it is just 5-10 minutes from Sofia city centre, yet peaceful and green!

Location

Silver City is situated in the greater centre of Sofia, on the southern side of one of the most prestigious living quarters - Lozenetz, just opposite the South Park.

The development is in close proximity to the US Embassy, the "Lozenetz" Hospital (also known as the government hospital), the Kempinski Hotel, several business centres, the SofiaLand amusement park and the Zoo.

Silver City garden terraces offer magnificent views to Vitosha mountain. The great German traveller Otto von Rundshtet has written "The Vitosha for Sofia is as the Vesuvius for Naples". North from Silver City, across the road, is the South Park, a favourite place of Sofia residents for leisure. The National Hall of Culture (convention centre) is in the same direction, just 5-7min drive.

The area has no industrial production, the air is clean and fresh with plenty of greenery.

Transportation to the very centre of Sofia takes minutes by tramways and buses through Cherny Vrah boulevard to the fashionable Vitosha street (10-15min), or through James Boucher boulevard - Central Park - Slaveikov sq. downtown (15-20min). Bus lines along the Srebarna street provide quick connections to south-western areas of the city. Driving from Silver City through Kozyak street or Cherny Vrah boulevard brings you in 5-7 min to downtown. To the south, along the Dragalevsko shosse, in 4-5 min one can reach the ring road with easy access to the big shopping centres, business parks and the highways to Varna and Plovdiv.

Centrally located and yet a lot of nature around - that's Silver City!
