The largest military infrastructure project in the history of independent Lithuania will occupy 190 hectares and will become the service location for 5,000 soldiers and civilians of the German brigade. The project is split into two phases.
- The first phase has been carried out via traditional procurement since August 2024. As contractors are executing the work faster than planned, completion is intended by the end of 2026. Administrative buildings, vehicle maintenance facilities, dormitories, a canteen, a fueling and washing station, and warehouses are being built, alongside the installation of engineering networks.
- The second phase, aimed at reducing risks, is divided into three parts and executed via a public-private partnership (PPP). The tender was announced in March 2025; contracts were signed at the beginning of 2026, and works are commencing in the middle of the year. Residential buildings, headquarters, and training facilities with simulation systems will be constructed. State commitments total 1.8 billion euros including VAT, which encompasses 12.5 years of maintenance. The European Investment Bank provided a 540 million euro loan.
Critical infrastructure is planned for completion by the end of 2027. All infrastructure will remain the property of Lithuania.
