Adama Mickiewicza Housing Association in Sopot was established in 1957. The first multi-family eleven-storey buildings were built in 1969-72. The residential area is fully equipped with accompanying technical infrastructure, i.e. a boiler house, roads, power, water-sewage and gas grids as well as a commercial building.

Interestingly, Adama Mickiewicza Housing Association has been ahead of its time since its inception. It took a pioneering approach to the construction of the apartments, which saw members contributing 50% of the value and then paying the rest in instalments over the next 25 years. Whilst this is a common practice today, it was unheard of in the communist Poland!

This pioneering approach remains unchanged among its inhabitants, and thus also today the engagement and activeness of the residents plays a crucial role in the decision-making process in terms of the new investments and refurbishments inside and outside the houses.
