News Yareal

The real estate developer is currently building 120 apartments on Legnicka Street, which runs parallel to the larger Powstańców Warszawskich Street, opposite Wzgórze Focha in a quiet area of the Siedlce district. Finetech Construction, a company which has already completed several residential and office projects for Yareal, has been chosen as the general contractor for this project.more...

Finetech Construction is expected to complete construction of ODEA Park in the fall of 2024. The project was prepared by architects from Tricity-based Arch-Deco studio, which specializes in designing modern, high-quality apartment buildings. ODEA Park, which is located on the border of Gdańsk’s Downtown and Siedlce districts, is being built on a green hilltop at the end of cozy Legnicka Street. To protect neighbors from construction-related inconveniences, Yareal set up a separate access road to the site dedicated for trucks for the duration of construction. In doing so, it avoided clogging up Legnicka Street with heavy traffic, preserving its priceless, pre-war cobblestone.

“ODEA Park’s unique location required we take an unconventional approach to its construction. Powstańców Warszawskich Street, which provides an excellent link with Gdansk’s city center and the city’s other districts, is located right nearby – just a few dozen meters from our investment. ODEA Park is being built on a sizable hill and above street level. And although the place located quite far away from other buildings and will soon provide future residents with breathtaking views of the city skyline, such conditions require that we take appropriate steps to protect the neighborhood and its residents. This is why we created an alternative access road to the construction site, agreeing on its route together with the project’s neighbors, city authorities, as well as with the French Embassy, which granted us access through the French Military Cemetery” – said Yareal’s Tri-City Regional Director, Katarzyna Rauber.

ODEA Park will be built on the area’s native ground level, so its apartments will be built on ground that is much higher than their surroundings. In light of this, Yareal will create a series of rain gardens around the investment.

"ODEA Park is another project implemented by us for Yareal, after the Pozytywny Mokotów housing estate in Warsaw and the LIXA office complex in Warsaw’s Wola district. We have a lot of experience with ambitious development projects, which is why we are even more satisfied with another investment of this type, this time in Gdańsk. ODEA Park is an extremely interesting project, not only because of the architecture of the buildings, the construction solutions used, but also the place where they are built. The awareness of respecting the place where we carry out projects is an expression of care for the natural environment, which is always inscribed in our company DNA, and ODEA Park perfectly expresses this idea" - adds Finetech Construction’s CEO, Włodzimierz Bogiel.

ODEA Park will not be fenced. Instead, the open housing estate will mark its boundaries using existing greenery and new plantings. The estate itself will include an additional building with a fully equipped common area for residents. Recreational areas and bicycle racks, as well as a playground, will be fitted between its apartment buildings. Residents will also be able to store their bicycles in several storage rooms in underground garages. Access to ODEA Park will be facilitated through several public transportation connections, as bus stops and a nearby streetcar line are within walking distance.

Upon completion, ODEA Park will consist of five cozy residential buildings with underground garages, which will house 120 families in apartments spanning up to 160 sq. m. Residents of second-floor apartments will have access to mezzanines which will significantly increase the effective floor area at their disposal, with some rooms in selected apartments reaching an impressive height of up to 5-6 meters. Meanwhile, owners of apartments on the first floor will have access to private gardens.

ODEA Park’s natural surroundings and green solutions, such as an in-house solar power plant, coupled with easily accessible public transportation, have secured a Very Good rating on the estate's BREEAM green construction certification. Additionally, the investment is also taking part in a pilot project for Green Building certification from the Polish Green Building Council (PLGBC).
