The administrative proceeding was the last one before the contract signing. The procedures were commenced in 2009, when the City Hall invited to submit applications. In 2010, three companies had made applications and were qualified for negotiations. Except Berndorf Bäderbau, it was Miastoprojekt Wrocław Sp. z o.o. and LEO11 Sp. z o.o.

A development of other commercial facilities such as a hotel is also considered but was not included in the fore-mentioned procedure.
