Belgrade Waterfront (Serbian: Београд на води, romanized: Beograd na vodi, lit. 'Belgrade on the Water') is a large mixed-use urban renewal development on the right bank of the Sava in central Belgrade, Serbia. The project covers the Sava Amphitheatre and parts of the Savamala neighbourhood, extending broadly between Branko's Bridge and the Belgrade Fair. It is being developed through a joint venture between the Republic of Serbia and Eagle Hills, a real-estate company based in the United Arab Emirates.[9]

The project was launched in 2014 with the renovation of the Belgrade Cooperative building, and the joint-venture agreement was signed in April 2015. Its master plan provides for approximately 1.8×10^6 m2 (19,000,000 sq ft) of development, including residential and office buildings, hotels, retail and educational facilities, parks, promenades and other public spaces.[10][11]

The Serbian government and the developer have presented Belgrade Waterfront as the regeneration of formerly underused railway and industrial land and as a source of housing, investment, infrastructure and public riverfront space.[12] The project has also been the subject of sustained criticism concerning its project-specific legal and planning framework, the selection of the private partner without an open competition, the contribution of publicly owned land and infrastructure, limited public participation, and its architectural and urban impact.[13][14] Controversy was further intensified by the Savamala demolitions in April 2016, when masked men unlawfully demolished buildings in an area designated for the development.[15]

Location

[edit]

Belgrade Waterfront occupies part of the Sava Amphitheatre on the right bank of the Sava, extending approximately from Branko's Bridge to the Belgrade Fair. The area was historically occupied by railway infrastructure associated with Belgrade Main railway station, and its large-scale redevelopment required the relocation of the railway junction.[16]

Plans for urban development along the Sava riverfront date to the interwar period. Following an international planning competition held in 1921 and 1922, Belgrade's first officially adopted general plan was prepared in 1923–1924 by a commission led by architect Đorđe Pavlović Kovaljevski.[17] The plan addressed the city's expansion and modernization but was not fully implemented.[18]

Location heritage

[edit]

The implementation of Belgrade Waterfront has involved the clearance, demolition or replacement of several pre-existing green spaces, buildings and transport structures. These interventions have prompted criticism concerning the loss of mature vegetation, the treatment of older buildings, property rights and the preservation of structures associated with the history of Savamala.

Bristol Park, also known as Svetonikolski Park, was established around the beginning of the 20th century from a garden created by merchant and benefactor Luka Ćelović.[19] An urban project placed on public inspection in April 2024 proposed constructing a two-level underground garage with approximately 450 parking spaces beneath the park and retaining five of its 86 existing trees.[20] Location conditions issued later that year required the number of newly planted trees to be no lower than the number found before construction, recommended the preservation of valuable existing trees and required at least 1.5 m (4.9 ft) of soil above the garage to accommodate tall vegetation.[21] Belgrade Waterfront stated that the reconstructed park would contain approximately 200 trees, including mature specimens planted on the garage's green roof.[22] By January 2026, however, the previous park had been cleared and enclosed as a construction site leading to the complete disappearance of the existing historic park.[19]

The former Simpo department-store building was demolished in October 2018 after being acquired by the Serbian state for the development. The structure had been built in 1922 as a warehouse for the Franco-Serbian Bank and was later purchased by furniture manufacturer Simpo, which added two floors and substantially reconstructed it between 1985 and 1987.[23] Reports preceding the demolition had referred to its possible reconstruction, but it was subsequently reported that its deteriorated condition made demolition the only feasible option.[23] The state reportedly paid approximately €12 million for the building and land. The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network noted that the joint-venture agreement listed both the Simpo and Iskra properties as containing 1,200 m2 (13,000 sq ft), although the Simpo complex alone included 3,431 m2 (36,930 sq ft) of retail space and an additional 863 m2 (9,290 sq ft) of warehouses and auxiliary structures. BIRN and Transparency Serbia questioned whether the discrepancy meant that Serbia had contributed substantially more property value than had been recognised in the original agreement.[24]

The property of the company Iskra was also affected during the clearance of Savamala. On 8 May 2015, a fence erected by the company in 1964 was demolished without prior notice, and employees of Millennium Team occupied part of the land used by Iskra on 24 June. Several structures used by the company were subsequently demolished during the wider Savamala demolitions of 25 April 2016.[25] In November 2025, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the demolition of the fence and the taking of the land had violated Iskra's right to the peaceful enjoyment of its possessions under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court found that the legal procedures intended to protect against arbitrary interference had been entirely circumvented and that the existence of special legislation for Belgrade Waterfront did not remove the company's right to due process.[25] The judgment concerned the events of May and June 2015; it did not determine responsibility for the separate April 2016 demolition of Iskra's buildings, which remained the subject of domestic proceedings and investigation.[25]

The removal of the Old Sava Bridge was also associated with the redevelopment because its right-bank approaches pass through Savamala and the Belgrade Waterfront planning area. Although the bridge replacement is a municipal infrastructure project rather than a building developed by Belgrade Waterfront, the Belgrade Land Development Public Agency states that one purpose of the new bridge is to introduce higher-capacity traffic flows into the area covered by the special-purpose spatial plan for the development.[26] The bridge, erected during the German occupation in 1942 and retained after the Second World War, was closed to traffic on 1 November 2024. Its steel structure was dismantled during 2025, and its characteristic central arch was removed from the river piers on 30 July 2025.[27] City officials argued that the old bridge was in poor condition, had insufficient capacity and obstructed the capital's development, while preservation groups, architects and some residents opposed its removal on historical, traffic and procedural grounds.[27] The city stated that preserved parts of the structure would be inspected and potentially reassembled at another location, but the final location and use of the removed bridge had not been determined when its arch was taken down.[26][27]

Expansion

[edit]

In October 2025, the Serbian government adopted amendments to the project's spatial plan, expanding its area from approximately 180 to 330 hectares across the municipalities of Savski Venac, New Belgrade and Čukarica. The expanded planning area includes the Belgrade Fair, Terazije Terrace, the former petroleum-storage site near the fairgrounds, the Topčider River corridor, the Čukarica backwater and part of the left bank of the Sava in New Belgrade.[28]

The plan designates Terazije Terrace as a public green space and proposes a green corridor along Kamenička Street connecting the Terazije ridge with Karađorđeva Street and the Sava riverfront. At the Belgrade Fair, Halls 1, 2 and 3 and the administration building are to remain a public-use complex, with their future functions to be determined through an architectural and urban-planning competition.[28][29]

On the New Belgrade side, the plan covers former industrial and storage areas intended for a mixture of commercial, residential, sporting and green-space uses. It also provides for a linear park along the former railway route, with the Old Railway Bridge converted into a pedestrian and bicycle connection between the two banks. The planned corridor continues towards the Topčider River and Ada Ciganlija, while the Čukarica backwater is designated for marina and recreational uses.[30]

More than 10,000 objections were submitted during the public-review process. Following the review, blocks 51 and 52 at Terazije Terrace and blocks 57 and 58 near Sava Square were excluded from the amended plan.[28][29]

Belgrade Waterfront project

[edit]

The Belgrade Waterfront project was publicly presented in 2014 as a large-scale redevelopment of the Sava riverbank. That year, the Serbian government designated it a project of special importance, and a master plan was presented at the renovated Belgrade Cooperative building.[31][32]

An agreement establishing the joint venture responsible for the development was signed in April 2015. Under the agreement, the Republic of Serbia held a 32 per cent stake and the United Arab Emirates-based developer Eagle Hills held 68 per cent. The project covered approximately 177 hectares and was planned to include residential, commercial, public and green spaces, with development scheduled over a period of up to 30 years.[33][34]

Preparation of the site involved removing railway infrastructure, clearing existing structures and relocating transport facilities, including services formerly operating from Belgrade Main railway station. Initial site works began in 2014, while construction of the first residential buildings started in September 2015.[35][36]

Construction

[edit]

The development was planned in several phases, beginning with construction in the central riverfront area and later extending towards Branko's Bridge, the Gazela Bridge and Savska Street. The plans included residential and commercial buildings, public facilities and the reconstruction of several protected structures.[37]

The first building permits were issued in September 2015, and construction of the two BW Residences towers began later that month.[38][39] Construction of Kula Belgrade began in 2016, followed in 2017 by the Galerija shopping centre and additional residential buildings.[40][41]

An amended spatial plan adopted by the Serbian government in April 2022 provided for further residential and commercial development, as well as schools, health, cultural and recreational facilities. It also incorporated three planned stations on the proposed Belgrade Metro network: Belgrade Fair, Mostar and Sava Square.[42]

Kula Belgrade

[edit]
Belgrade Tower and the rest of the Belgrade Waterfront

Kula Belgrade is a 168 m (551 ft), 42-storey mixed-use skyscraper and the tallest building in Serbia. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the tower has a rotated form in which its upper and lower floor plans differ by approximately 90 degrees. It contains the St. Regis Belgrade hotel, residential units and an observation deck on the 41st floor.[110]

The main construction works were carried out by a joint venture of Impresa Pizzarotti and Millennium Team. AECOM prepared the tower’s structural design, while DNEC served as engineer of record and construction-supervision consultant.[111]

The tower was topped out in 2021 and ceremonially opened in 2024. As of July 2026, an application for its occupancy permit remained pending, following reported issues involving its heating and cooling systems and fire-protection documentation.[112]

Galerija Belgrade

[edit]
Inside Galerija Belgrade shopping mall

Galerija Belgrade is a shopping and entertainment complex within Belgrade Waterfront. It opened on 30 October 2020 and includes retail and dining space, a multiplex cinema and parking facilities.[113]

Public and cultural facilities

[edit]

Several public and cultural facilities are being developed in and around the project area. The former Belgrade Main railway station is being adapted to house the Historical Museum of Serbia.[114] The former post office on Sava Square is under reconstruction, with space planned for an archaeological museum and a theatre.[115]

In October 2025, the reconstructed Ložionica railway complex opened as a centre for creative industries, innovation and digital public administration.[116]

Financing, revenue and profit

[edit]

The project is implemented through Belgrade Waterfront d.o.o., a joint company established by the Republic of Serbia and a private partner from the United Arab Emirates. Under the original 2015 joint-venture agreement, the private partner received a 68 per cent interest and Serbia retained 32 per cent; subsequent company reporting has described the respective holdings as 67 and 33 per cent.[117][118] The private partner undertook to provide up to €150 million in capital and a further €150 million through interest-bearing shareholder loans. Serbia assumed responsibility for legally and physically clearing the site, resolving property claims and providing or facilitating the necessary transport and municipal infrastructure.[117][119]

The agreement granted the joint company a 99-year lease over project land without a lease payment and provided for the leasehold rights over developed parcels to be converted into ownership after the land was brought into its intended use, without payment of a conversion charge.[117][119] Critics have consequently described the arrangement as the effective gifting of publicly owned land, although the land was granted to the partly state-owned project company rather than transferred directly to the foreign shareholder. Transparency International criticised the absence of an open competition for the private partner and argued that Serbia's land, site-preparation and infrastructure obligations were not transparently valued against the private partner's majority interest.[120] It estimated that the regulation of the construction land alone had been valued at approximately 33.7 billion dinars and argued that a competitive process might have produced greater public revenue.[120] Supporters of the arrangement have instead pointed to the redevelopment of previously underused railway and industrial land, new public infrastructure, tax receipts and Serbia's entitlement to dividends as a shareholder.

The company's income is derived principally from the sale of completed apartments and commercial property, while advance payments for units under construction have also become an important source of project financing. According to financial statements reported by Forbes Srbija, the company recorded total revenue of 32.7 billion dinars and net profit of 5.23 billion dinars in 2023, compared with net profit of 6.97 billion dinars in 2022.[121] Business revenue increased to approximately 43.5 billion dinars in 2024, while net profit rose to about 7.5 billion dinars.[122]

In 2025, Belgrade Waterfront reported business revenue of 53.89 billion dinars, an increase of 24 per cent from the previous year, and net profit of 19.2 billion dinars, approximately two and a half times its 2024 profit. The resulting net margin was about 35 per cent.[123] Revenue from the sale of completed and delivered property amounted to 56.5 billion dinars, while the effect of changes in the value of completed and unfinished property inventories reduced the amount recognised as business revenue. At the end of the year, the company held 32.7 billion dinars in cash and 59.6 billion dinars in advances received from purchasers of properties that had not yet been delivered.[123] The published results relate to Belgrade Waterfront d.o.o. and do not consolidate the full results of affiliated companies responsible for assets including Galerija Belgrade, Kula Belgrade and the Bristol hotel.[122]

The distribution of the profits has remained controversial. Radar reported that, by 9 July 2026, Serbia had received slightly more than 3.7 billion dinars (approximately €31.7 million) in cumulative dividends from the company, despite holding approximately one third of its shares. The first dividend payments were made from profits earned in 2021, while a large proportion of subsequent earnings was retained by the company or distributed to the majority shareholder.[118] The same report calculated cumulative net profit through 2025 at approximately €375 million and reported that undistributed profit stood at 24.9 billion dinars at the end of 2025.[118] The proportion of total profit paid as a dividend is determined by the company's dividend decisions and is therefore not equivalent to Serbia's percentage ownership of the company.

The financial statements also contain reciprocal obligations relating to infrastructure. At the end of 2025, the company recorded a long-term liability of 19.49 billion dinars to the City of Belgrade for the contribution charged for the development of construction land. At the same time, it reported a receivable of 15.7 billion dinars for roads, parks, squares and other infrastructure financed or constructed by the company, meaning that the two amounts were expected to be substantially offset as completed public infrastructure was transferred to the city.[123] According to figures accompanying the 2025 statements, the project generated 3.4 billion dinars in corporate-profit tax and 4.7 billion dinars in other public revenues, including value-added tax, contributions, fees and charges, while 5.6 billion dinars was attributed to investment in public infrastructure.[123] Critics have argued that taxes generated through ordinary commercial activity should be distinguished from the return on Serbia's initial land and infrastructure contribution, while project representatives have included taxes, employment and infrastructure investment when describing the state's overall economic benefit.

Criticism

[edit]

Planning process and governance

[edit]

The planning and legal framework used for Belgrade Waterfront has been criticised by urban-planning researchers, professional organisations and anti-corruption groups. Academic studies have described the project as an example of an exceptional, centrally directed planning process in which the proposal was incorporated into Belgrade's planning documents after the project's political and commercial framework had largely been determined. Researchers Slavka Zeković, Tamara Maričić and Miodrag Vujošević characterised decision-making as exclusive and elite-driven, noting the absence of an open tender for the joint-venture partner and limited participation by local communities.[124] Ana Perić similarly argued that the applicable legal framework was used in a manner that restricted meaningful public participation, while Perić and Frank D'hondt placed the development among Balkan megaprojects characterised by special regulations, ad hoc institutional arrangements and the politicisation of planning.[125][126]

The project was enabled by a 2015 lex specialis establishing project-specific rules for expropriation, construction permits, taxation and land leasing. Transparency International stated that the law permitted expropriation for commercial and residential development that would not ordinarily have been allowed under Serbia's general expropriation legislation, and made it possible to avoid ordinary public-procurement procedures. It also noted that the design process had taken place without meaningful public participation and that the private partner had been selected without an open competition.[120] Serbia's Anti-Corruption Agency identified corruption risks arising from imprecise provisions and broad discretionary powers granted to public authorities.[120] The government defended the special legislation by designating the development a project of national importance and emphasising its expected investment, employment, infrastructure and urban-regeneration benefits.[120][124]

Criticism of the project's governance intensified after the Savamala demolitions of 24–25 April 2016, when masked men demolished buildings in Hercegovačka Street on land intended to be cleared for the development. In June 2016, then-prime minister Aleksandar Vučić stated that senior Belgrade officials were responsible for the operation.[127] In April 2026, the First Basic Prosecutor's Office said that the masked perpetrators had still not been identified because police had not established their identities, and that not all circumstances necessary to determine the precise criminal classification of the acts had been established.[128]

Architecture and urban design

[edit]

Architectural criticism has primarily concerned the master plan's density, scale, relationship to the historic city and treatment of the riverfront, rather than the engineering design of individual buildings. Professional organisations opposed the proposed plan from an early stage and called for an international urban-design competition for the Sava Amphitheatre.[129] Critics argued that the investor-led plan replaced earlier proposals for a lower-density district containing major public and cultural institutions with a predominantly residential and commercial development aimed at the luxury-property market.[124][126]

Architect Dragoljub Bakić criticised the height, arrangement and orientation of the riverfront blocks, arguing that their massing created a wall along the Sava, obstructed views from the older city and placed a population and traffic load on infrastructure that had not been correspondingly expanded. He also described the architecture as conventional commercial construction rather than an innovative response to the site.[130] In 2024, Bojan Kovačević, president of the Academy of Architecture of Serbia, described the development as an act of “urbanistic violence” and a “foreign body” that did not relate adequately to Belgrade's established architecture or riverfront morphology. He argued that the use of towers and luxury apartments had been treated as evidence of modernisation without sufficient consideration of urban context or residential quality.[131]

Construction quality, permits and worker safety

[edit]

Complaints about construction quality have been made by some apartment owners. In March 2023, Danas reported that residents of the BW Aurora and BW Arcadia buildings had complained of water entering underground garages, persistent dampness, leaking pipes, sewage problems and alleged faults involving façades, windows, ventilation and fire-protection equipment. Correspondence among residents also referred to repair work and the possible initiation of legal proceedings against the developer, contractor and subcontractors.[132] According to the report, contractor Strabag arranged a meeting with residents and repair work was under way in some parts of the buildings.[132] The complaints were based principally on residents' accounts and internal correspondence; the reporting did not cite an independent structural survey establishing that either building was structurally unsafe.

Regulatory questions also arose over Kula Belgrade. Forbes Srbija reported that, although the hotel within the tower had opened in 2024, the Central Register of Unified Procedures showed neither an occupancy permit nor an application for one as of November 2025. The register did show several proceedings concerning fire-protection documentation, some of which had initially been rejected and later approved.[133] In April 2026, the first published occupancy-permit application associated with the tower appeared in a separate proceeding concerning a system intended to draw technical water from the Sava for heating and cooling. The register did not make clear whether the application covered the entire tower or only the water-intake and mechanical installations.[134] The developer did not answer the outlet's questions about the reason for the delay.[133]

Construction-site safety also attracted criticism. On 14 September 2018, two workers employed by subcontractors working under Strabag died after falling from the 22nd floor of a building under construction at the development.[135] The cause remained subject to investigation in contemporary reporting. Strabag stated that the workers were registered, trained and supplied with the required equipment, while Belgrade Waterfront stated that safety plans and occupational-protection standards were applied at its construction sites and that it would cooperate with the investigation.[136]

Financial transparency and money-laundering allegations

[edit]

Financial criticism has centred on the absence of competitive selection for the private partner, the allocation of costs and risks between the state and investor, and the limited initial disclosure of the joint-venture agreement. Under the agreement, the private partner received a 68-per-cent interest and Serbia a 32-per-cent interest, while the state undertook land clearance and major infrastructure obligations. Transparency International argued that the lack of competition may have reduced potential public revenue and described the special legislation as a precedent that placed the requirements of a particular investment outside the generally applicable legal framework.[120]

Separate money-laundering allegations have nevertheless appeared in reputable reporting. In 2016, the Financial Times reported that the civic group Ne davimo Beograd warned that the development could become a focus for corruption and money laundering because of the project's opaque financing and contracting arrangements.[137] In 2024, Kovačević alleged that an examination of the project's finances and apartment purchasers would probably reveal money laundering and purchases by businesspeople connected to political interests.[131]
