September Owner Update — 8th Sept
Last Updated 5 October 2026
Construction progress, fit-out choices and the next due dates

Dear fellow Co-Owner,

Thank you to everyone who joined our 7 September owners’ meeting. Below is a consolidated update on construction progress, the bathroom and flooring choices discussed, and the actions that need to be completed over the coming weeks.

Please use the Owners Register as the official record of your selections. If you are keeping Standard A, the standard specification will normally proceed automatically unless the category below requires an explicit confirmation.

Section 1
Construction Progress
Status Update — No Action Required
Timing clarification: these dates describe readiness for the next finishing stages. They are not final apartment-completion or handover dates.

Section 2
How to Confirm Your Choices Updated 2 & 8 Sep
Read Before Confirming — No Due Date

Section 3
Bathroom Choices Updated 2, 7 & 8 Sep
Due Dates: 15–25 September

Major bathroom plumbing cannot be relocated — this is fixed by the building’s architectural and drainage system.

Revised bathroom-selection deadline: to give owners more time, the bathroom-related selection deadline previously communicated as 13 September is extended to 17 September 2026. By this date, please confirm your specific selection — standard option or the relevant B option — for: bathroom tiles, shower divider, shower set, vanity unit, and mirror/upper-cabinet option. This is a selection deadline, not a delivery deadline; owners selecting a B option with owner-supplied materials must still meet the separate delivery deadline shown for that item and floor.

Confirm your shower-set choice by 17 September.

Vanity, mirror and upper cabinet — Category 24 installation support Updated 8 Sep

Lower vanity units and sinks must fit the fixed plumbing and drainage positions. Confirm your choice by 17 September; owner-supplied B2/B3 items must arrive by 10 October.

Standard mirror is included free of charge. A simple standard mirror will be supplied and installed above the bathroom sink at no additional cost. The included standard mirror measures 50 × 60 cm and will be installed above the bathroom sink. If you supply your own simple mirror instead, its installation is also free. The installation prices below apply only to owner-supplied upper cabinets, illuminated units, combined mirror-and-cabinet units and other more complex or non-standard bathroom furniture — not to a simple mirror.
Installation supportPrice
Simple mirror (standard or owner-supplied)Included — no charge
Upper cabinet without mirror€75
Mirror and cabinet set€110
Vanity with mirror and lights€140 — only where the additional electrical point was requested and prepared

Notify Stela by 17 September if you want installation support for a non-standard item. You may also arrange your own qualified professional for non-standard installation, coordinated in advance with the onsite team. Labour costs for handling and installing materials have risen by more than 2.5× since the project began, which is reflected in the prices above.

Final installation remains subject to the selected model and the apartment’s approved bathroom layout.

Bathroom-door opening direction

If you prefer a different bathroom-door opening direction, mark the requested direction clearly on your apartment layout and send it to Stela by 25 September. The site team will accommodate the request where technically possible. Other interior doors follow the project layout.

Kitchen Options Updated 2 Sep
No Fixed Due Date — Confirmed Individually

The project is working with a custom kitchen manufacturer. Owners are welcome to send Stela the dimensions of their kitchen space together with a simple sketch of the desired layout, including the approximate dimensions of each cabinet and their preferred colour scheme and materials. Based on this information, Stela will coordinate with the manufacturer and obtain an apartment-specific quotation.

Alternatively, owners may arrange an individual consultation with Stela, during which she can support them in developing their kitchen layout, cabinet configuration, finishes and specifications before requesting a quotation from the manufacturer.

The process may include onsite measurement, detailed design, production, installation and warranty, subject to the manufacturer’s final technical review and quotation. Any owner-provided measurements and sketches will be treated as preliminary until verified onsite.

The indicative due date for the first round of kitchen orders is 30 October 2026. A second order round is planned for 10 December 2026 for owners who need additional time to make their decisions. The kitchen production line is operational, allowing orders to be coordinated in these two stages.

Kitchen Design and Coordination Support

Individual kitchen-design and owner-specific coordination are charged at €25 per hour through Mons Orbelus. The packages below are indicative; the appropriate scope depends on the kitchen’s complexity and the support required.

PackageTime and feeIndicative scope
Kitchen Concept3 hours / €75Initial consultation; review of the kitchen space, owner’s sketch and requirements; discussion of the preferred layout, cabinet configuration, colours and materials; preparation of a clear brief for quotation.
Kitchen Design & Quotation6 hours / €150Everything in the Kitchen Concept package, plus development and refinement of the cabinet layout and dimensions; coordination of appliances, finishes and functional requirements; preparation and submission of the specification to the manufacturer; review of the initial quotation and one round of owner feedback.
Kitchen Design, Ordering & Installation Coordination9–12 hours / €225–€300Full support from concept through ordering: detailed layout and specification coordination; manufacturer communication; quotation review and revisions; support with final selections and order confirmation; coordination of onsite measurement, delivery and installation arrangements; and follow-up on owner-specific questions during the process.

These packages are indicative and help owners estimate the likely level and cost of support. Work is billed according to the actual time spent at €25 per hour. Any material additional work or expanded scope will be discussed with the owner in advance. Cris issues the corresponding invoices monthly through Mons Orbelus, with payment made directly to the company account.


Section 8 · Optional
Complete Furnishing Collections Updated 2 Sep
Optional — No Fixed Due Date
For owners who would like the apartment fully furnished, not just fitted out.
CollectionPrice incl. 20% VATPositioningDetails
Essential€7,812Entry-level complete furnishing collectionView Collection →
Comfort€9,432Mid-range complete furnishing collectionView Collection →
Premium€12,096Premium complete furnishing collectionView Collection →

The collections include the itemised kitchen, bedroom, living/dining, terrace, lighting and curtain scope shown in the individual quotation. Bathroom vanity furniture and the shower divider are excluded; each total already reflects a €200 reduction. Transport, carrying, assembly, appliance connections, plumbing and electrical installation are quoted separately.

The three furnishing collections are complete package proposals for owners who would like to select the furniture and curtains included in one of the presented offers. Each collection includes the itemised kitchen, bedroom, living/dining, terrace, lighting and curtain scope shown in its individual quotation.

Owners are not limited to selecting one complete collection. Items from the Essential, Comfort and Premium collections may be mixed and matched. To request a customised combination, email Stela and clearly identify each required item and the collection from which it has been selected. Stela will coordinate an individual quotation confirming the selected items, delivery to the property and assembly costs.

For curtains, owners may use the images in the quotations as inspiration for the general style and colour scheme. They may also send Stela reference images showing their preferred curtain type, design and colour. The furnishing studio will review the request and confirm the available solution and final price.

For a customised kitchen, owners should send Stela a simple sketch or reference image of their preferred kitchen, together with the available dimensions, desired cabinet arrangement, colour scheme and material preferences. Stela will coordinate with the manufacturer and return with an apartment-specific proposal and final quotation. The price will depend on the final dimensions, configuration, materials, finishes, delivery and assembly requirements.

The furnishing studio does not currently provide an English-language website or direct English-language service. Stela will therefore coordinate communication and quotations between owners and the studio.

Owner Ordering and Onsite Delivery Procedure Updated 8 Sep
Please read this before placing or dispatching any order — it applies whether you order directly from a supplier or through Stela’s coordination support.
