Brest's gunpowder depot to be converted into stylish shopping center
Ideya, a private company in Brest, has bought the 19th century gunpowder depot in the Kovalyovo neighborhood intending to convert it into a shopping center reminiscent of the ancient wooden town of Byarestse.
It intends to build 90 wooden shops and pave the lanes with wood. The company plans to open food counters within the next four months. More distant plans include a parking lot for 250 vehicles, a cafe and a brewery.
