Zemunske Kapije
On 10 July 2017 a construction of the new residential complex, called Zemunske Kapije ("Zemun Gates"), began on the location of the former barracks "Aleksa Dundić", which is to be demolished. The complex will have 1,700 apartments ranging in size from 30 m2 (320 sq ft) to 95 m2 (1,020 sq ft), bounded by the streets of Cara Dušana, Zadužbinska and Šumadijska on the area of 6 ha (15 acres). The apartments will be spread in 8 buildings, with the total area of 200,000 m2 (2,200,000 sq ft). Deadline for the Phase I of the project is September 2018, when three buildings with 323 apartments should be completed with the first tenants settling a month later.[4][5]
