Cyprus to gain Cultural Centre - 22 May 2007

Plans for the Cyprus Cultural Centre in Nicosia have been given the go ahead. Construction of such a development is expected to boost the island’s tourism and property sectors.

A British construction firm, Hopkins Architects, won the bid, and is expected to complete its work by the turn of the decade, the Cyprus Financial Mirror reports. It is expected to cost around £54 million and will be situated opposite the country’s finance ministry in an area that has been earmarked as a major cultural zone.

This potential boost to the Cyprus property market will be used for showcasing performing arts, international music concerts, dance, opera, ballet and theatre.

"The Cyprus Cultural Centre is now taking a specific shape and we are now entering the final stretch in Cyprus acquiring what it deserves, a modern temple of art and culture and an excellent architectural design," said Kikis Lazarides, chairman of the Cyprus Cultural Foundation.
