Among the available options, "French Quarter 2" stands out as the largest residential complex in Pechersk.

The construction of "French Quarter 2" was driven by the success of the first "French Quarter." Buyers appreciated both the location and the concept and pricing policy of the residential project.

The varied building heights (ranging from 9 to 24 floors) provide optimal sunlight access to both the courtyards and apartments.
The territory of "French Quarter 2" includes recreational areas, modern children's and sports playgrounds for active leisure. Along the walking alleys, there are benches for relaxation, greenery throughout, and a fountain in the center of the complex.
