One such development is MOKOPOLIS, located on Postępu Street. Under a special act on facilitations for housing investments, Yareal is building a sustainable, community-focused complex that will contribute to the ongoing shift from an office-dominated district to a more resident-friendly neighborhood.

MOKOPOLIS is designed as a cascading building, ranging from 4 to 9 floors, with spacious terraces on the upper floors and garden patios for residents on the ground level. The building’s terraced design ensures optimal natural light for both the apartments and a large courtyard garden, which will serve as an accessible, green heart of the complex. The project’s architecture draws from the neighboring buildings and the district’s industrial history.

“The project aims to fill a gap in the built landscape of Postępu Street and Służewiec, creating a cohesive piece of urban fabric that complements the street's frontage. The building, with residential units, ground-floor commercial units, and an open passage leading to green areas within, will enhance the open, urban character of the development and the surrounding area. The project’s unique architecture, with a light, gently undulating concrete frame, references both the neighboring structure and Służewiec’s industrial heritage,” – explains WWAA studio architect Mateusz Świętorzecki.

“Our goal was to complement the area’s architecture while adding much-needed residential space. The top priority was to create an open, welcoming project that stands out in a neighborhood dominated by closed, gated communities. Behind MOKOPOLIS, away from the street noise and traffic, there will be a public green area, forming part of a 500-meter-long green corridor—a mini linear park connecting neighboring communities. We will complete a 1,700-sq. m. green square at the midpoint of this corridor, making it more accessible to nearby residents and fostering community interaction,” – adds Jacek Zengteler, President of Yareal.

The Yareal development will add over 200 high-standard apartments to this part of the city, most of which will be popular two- and three-room units ranging from 35 to 87 sq. m. The complex will also include functional studios and spacious family apartments of up to 120 sq. m. The ground floor facing Postępu Street will feature eight commercial units catering to the daily needs of both residents and the surrounding community. The two-level underground garage will provide 256 parking spaces, and cyclists will have access to an underground bike storage area with ample parking spots for bicycles. The ground floor will also include a resident fitness room and a massage room.

MOKOPOLIS is Yareal’s first project under the special act on facilitations for housing investments, which requires consultations with neighbors and close collaboration within a community dialogue framework. As a result of feedback from residents, the project includes 18 designated parking spaces in the garage for guests and couriers, with a dedicated staircase providing quick access between the underground parking and the ground floor.

Like all other Yareal developments, MOKOPOLIS is committed to sustainability. It will undergo a rigorous sustainability audit as part of the international BREEAM green certification process. The building will use low-emission concrete and feature a solar power plant to provide free energy for the new community. A final BREEAM rating of Very Good will be supported by installations that accommodate electric vehicle charging and an energy recovery system from modern, energy-efficient elevators.

Yareal is expanding its apartment offerings in Miasteczko Wilanów. In the next phase of the ENSO Wilanów project, 70 large apartments will be built, nearly half of which will be 4- and 5-room units ranging from approximately 86 to over 150 sq. m. The ENSO Wilanów development is located near one of the main intersections of the district—Sarmacka and Branickiego Streets—close to the terminus of one of Warsaw’s new tram lines, which is nearing completion.

The sale of this next phase began after the first building in the project reached its full height, with completion scheduled for the summer of 2025. As the current stock of apartments nears exhaustion, the offering has been supplemented with 70 new units. Most of these apartments will face south, ensuring optimal sunlight for residents. In addition to the large apartments, Yareal has also designed 36 two- and three-room units, ranging from about 37 to 80 sq. m., as well as one studio apartment.

“ENSO Wilanów offers comfortable apartments, with residents having access to three green courtyards, a playground, and a recreational square with a linear park along the new street. We’ve implemented very high environmental, architectural, and energy standards, which will earn the project a BREEAM green certification rated 'Very Good.' Along with spacious, well-planned apartments in a prime location, ENSO residents will benefit from rainwater harvesting in a rain garden and free electricity from a solar power plant, which will help power the lighting in the underground garage,” – explains Jacek Zengteler, President of Yareal.

On Branickiego Street, there will be a grand entrance featuring a stylishly designed lobby and reception area next to a fully equipped fitness zone with locker rooms and amenities. Without leaving the building, ENSO Wilanów residents can work out in a gym with views of the green courtyard or relax on the outdoor terrace in the designated relaxation area. Some parking spaces in the underground garage will be equipped for electric vehicle charging stations. The project also includes bicycle storage areas and parking spots for cyclists, who will have access to the district's extensive network of bike paths.

Residents will also have convenient access to public transport, with a bus stop located right next to the development and a tram line currently under construction nearby that will connect Wilanów with the center of Warsaw, ending at Branickiego Street.

The environmentally friendly solutions, prime location, access to public transport, and proximity to the Warsaw ring road have earned the ENSO Wilanów project a BREEAM sustainable construction certificate. Upon completion, the project will undergo a sustainability audit in the international BREEAM certification system, with an expected rating of “Very Good.” In line with its ESG commitments, Yareal has been certifying all of its new residential projects to BREEAM standards for years.

The first phase of ENSO Wilanów is set to be completed by the summer of next year, while the newly launched apartments are expected to be ready by early 2027.

LIXA D and LIXA E office projects, built by Yareal Poland as part of the final phase of the office campus in the business centre of Warsaw, won the Prime Property Prize 2024. Our building won in the “Building of the Year” category.

For 13 years, the Prime Property Prize has been recognising businesses, projects and personalities who make the biggest impact on the real estate market. The competition, divided into several stages, was organised by PTWP, the publisher of PropertyNews.pl and PropertyDesign.pl websites. From the submitted proposals, the editorial team selected TOP 5 lists in each category which were then published on PropertyNews.pl and PropertyDesign.pl. The readers of the websites and the Jury, which included, among others, the winners from previous editions, voted on the lists until August 30th, 2024. The winners were announced on September 16th, 2024, during the Prime Property Prize 2024 Gala which concluded the first day of Property Forum 2024 conference.

According to the organisers, the “Building of the Year” category, won by LIXA D and LIXA E project, recognised the best commercial or residential development in the previous year – a building that one could not simply pass without taking notice. A building whose form and function, and consistency with the context of its surroundings, serve as magnet for business, make it a city landmark and address the needs of the local community. The race for the “Building of the Year” title was extremely close – so close in fact that two ex aequo awards were given – aside from the LIXA D and LIXA E project, also the Doki Living building in Gdansk was honoured.

“I am immensely proud of the Prime Property Prize 2024 award. I would like to thank for all the votes cast by the readers of PTWP Group websites and the distinguished Jury. This amazing award is the crowning achievement of many years of hard work on a unique office campus which has blended perfectly with the Warsaw urban landscape, becoming an open buzzing people- and environment-friendly spot and the perfect place for business. I want to thank the entire team at Yareal Poland and all of our current and former associates. This award for the LIXA project would not have happened if it hadn’t been for you. I would also like to express my utmost gratitude and thanks to the LIXA project designers – HRA Architekci, the general contractors – FineTech Construction and PORR Group, all of our tenants and banks that financed the project – BNP Paribas and Deutsche Pfandbriefbank AG” – said Jacek Zengteler, President of Management Board of Yareal Poland.

LIXA D and LIXA E office buildings were the final phase of the LIXA office campus located close to Rondo Daszyńskiego in Warsaw, offering over 28,000 m2 of office space. The buildings were also one of the largest office development projects completed in Poland in 2024. The key distinguishing features of the project include the use of low-carbon concrete and façade made with 70% recycled aluminium. Certified electric power used for the construction and operation of the buildings is generated exclusively by wind turbines. By using green materials and renewable energy sources, and addressing the community needs, LIXA D and LIXA E align perfectly with Yareal’s sustainable development strategy. The final phase is the culmination of the unique LIXA City Gardens concept which creates new attractive urban spaces for commerce, services and restaurants. The whole complex has over 5,500 m2 of biodiverse green areas, including patios and terraces. Our buildings meet the requirements of the most demanding of clients, such as Snowflake, Sanofi, Stora Enso and two businesses from the technology sector.

The LIXA development near the Rondo Daszyńskiego metro station in Warsaw offers prime office space, but also cosy cafés and restaurants and best-in-class service outlets as part of the LIXA City Gardens concept. The LIXA D building has welcomed a new tenant, the Fimedica clinic, with 360 m2 of space on the ground floor.

The Fimedica outpatient facility has extensive expertise in providing medical treatment to adults and children alike. An undisputed asset of the clinic is its team of highly specialized doctors from such areas as orthopaedics, sports medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, rheumatology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, vascular surgery and colorectal surgery, and experts in physical therapy, osteopathy and massage therapy.

The offices of Fimedica will be arranged in 360 m2 on the ground floor of the LIXA D building, with an entrance from the inner courtyard. During the lease negotiation process, the tenant was advised by BNM Real Estate Advisory. The opening is scheduled for early 2025.

“The LIXA City Gardens concept allows us to arrange innovative public space, open to office employees, members of the local community, as well as guests visiting our campus,” said Marta Zawadzka, Head of Lease and Asset Management at Yareal Poland. “Having the Fimedica outpatient clinic on our tenant roster makes our offering truly competitive, but also complements LIXA’s portfolio with medical services. We are thrilled with the lease signing, because we are confident that a medical facility among the tenants is a great asset to our office campus. I believe that with its wide array of services, LIXA and the LIXA City Gardens concept will become a vibrant, must-visit venue in Warsaw, taking into consideration the needs of guests and protection of the environment.”

According to Bartosz Pecarz, CEO of Fimedica, “The main rationale behind our medical centre is to cater to the needs of patients suffering from a number of health conditions. Our aim is to find the source of the condition and offer the best possible treatment. We are happy that we will soon open our facility at LIXA. Its convenient location and state-of-the-art surroundings allow every patient seeking prime medical services to take advantage of our services. This includes employees of other companies based in the LIXA campus. We are excited about the upcoming opening and would like to invite patients to schedule their appointment with our medical experts.”

The LIXA City Gardens concept features 4,000 m2 of modern space on the ground floor of the individual buildings (including a 150-metre-long public walkway) dedicated to numerous service, retail and food outlets. The commercialization process is almost finished. Apart from Fimedica, this signature development of Yareal Poland houses restaurants such as Rico, Kura and Street, Ramenownia, Szum, Gorąco Polecam and Batida. LIXA City Gardens also features showrooms (Aluprof, Unique Work, ISKU, VisionCube) and a modern household appliances store. It will also house a beauty parlour, Luna Skin. The LIXA City Gardens concept is scheduled to open at the start of 2025.

The LIXA campus is the largest office project in the history of Yareal Poland. The complex fits perfectly with the company’s sustainable development strategy, which focuses on environmental protection and is compliant with the highest ESG standards. The construction is powered by electricity from renewable sources, and uses low-emission concrete and low-carbon recycled aluminium. Levelling the carbon footprint, and collecting rainwater and using it to irrigate vegetation, are just some of the environment-friendly energy-saving solutions applied in the development. LIXA also offers vast green areas unique in the entire business centre of Warsaw’s Wola district. Its biologically diverse green areas cover a total of about 5,500 m2.

The LIXA office campus has been developed in stages in the downtown Wola district, a short walk from the Rondo Daszyńskiego metro station. The campus consists of five buildings with a total area of 77,000 m2, designed by the renowned architectural studio HRA Architekci.

The buildings of the LIXA campus have been awarded BREEAM green building certificates at the Excellent level. In addition, the LIXA development has been awarded the WELL Health-Safety rating, confirming that the project meets high requirements for safety standards and procedures. LIXA is also committed to the highest quality of digital connectivity and smart technology in the buildings, as documented by certification according to WiredScore criteria (the LIXA C and E buildings have been awarded this prestigious technology certificate at the highest Platinum level, and the certification process for LIXA D is ongoing). In addition, LIXA E has been recognized with the Active Score Gold certificate, and LIXA D is under review. Moreover, the LIXA C, D and E buildings are currently being reviewed under the AirRated certification process.

The new building, inspired by the modernism of the Żoliborz district, will replace an existing outdated office building from the 1980s. The current building is surrounded by a concrete plaza. The investment at 63 Mickiewicza Street will comply with the conditions set by the Warsaw City Council under the special housing law. This decision followed the project’s approval by numerous city institutions and district-level community consultations.

The new modernist L-shaped building with stylish rounded corners will be built along Mickiewicza Street. The design will create a new public open space, including a 1,300 sq. m. publicly accessible square with landscaped greenery for the new residents and the local community. Before construction begins, the old office building and the concrete plaza, currently used as a gated parking lot, will be demolished. This change, approved by city planners and the Warsaw City Council, aims to fill a gap in the urban streetscape and enhance the public space and urban layout in this part of Żoliborz.

“We are planning to construct a 6-story building with over 60 apartments. The building will cascade down to 5 and 4 stories, and will include essential services on the ground floor as well as an underground garage. Adjacent to this building, there will be an open area without fences, designed to facilitate communication and provide space for relaxation. This landscaped square, shielded from the street and free from traffic, will include a safe playground and recreational area. This transformation will significantly enhance the urban character of Mickiewicza Street, especially by introducing stylish residential buildings with courtyard greenery and ground-floor services. Additionally, we have pledged to donate 2.5 million PLN for educational purposes. We are currently finalizing negotiations with the city on this agreement,” explains Jacek Zengteler, President of Yareal.

The decision to approve the investment at 63 Mickiewicza Street by the Warsaw City Council followed the special housing law and complied with the Mayor of Warsaw's guidelines for engaging with the local community. The process was transparent, with the investor having to secure multiple agreements with different institutions. Following the council's resolution, a construction project is set to commence in the second half of 2025.

This boutique apartment building, nestled in the western part of the multifunctional complex, will feature 17 apartments with direct views of the linear park, serving as the green axis of the entire urban development. NEFRYT is the last residential building to be constructed within the SOHO by Yareal project, making it a truly unique opportunity.

NEFRYT is designed as a freestanding, intimate building overlooking the green park stretching along the SOHO by Yareal complex. The architecture and the size of NEFRYT complement the already inhabited apartment buildings, particularly the nearby RUBIN building. NEFRYT will form a cohesive project with the other new buildings, thanks to design features such as clinker tiles that echo the complex's post-industrial character and distinctive aluminum cubes. This will ensure the building fits seamlessly into the new residential and historic industrial surroundings, which will be revitalized in the final phase of the investment.

“NEFRYT is a unique building characterized by its intimate nature and high standards. The limited number of spacious apartments will be perfect for those who value privacy, freedom, and comfort. Located in the central part of the complex, the building will meet residents' most basic needs, such as shopping and socializing in nearby restaurants, while providing recreation opportunities in the adjacent park. The park and other green areas feature over 100 trees and shrubs, including numerous specimens preserved or transplanted from the site's industrial past. NEFRYT will diversify the SOHO by Yareal offering, introducing high-quality architecture, attractive spaces, and apartments for new residents, along with additional services on the ground floor,” said Jacek Zengteler, President of Yareal.

17 spacious apartments, ranging from 76 to 149 sq. m., will be available for sale. The five-story NEFRYT will offer high-standard apartments featuring large, glazed windows for optimal natural lighting. Apartment owners will also have spacious balconies and terraces, with a unique apartment on the top floor featuring a large terrace suitable for installing a sauna or jacuzzi.

The entrance to NEFRYT, nestled amidst green areas and the park, will be conveniently located on the north side, facing the inner courtyard. The south-facing windows will offer picturesque views of the park with mature trees and a shaded playground. The building will house two commercial units on the ground floor, catering to the needs of residents and visitors to the publicly accessible green spaces of SOHO by Yareal.

SOHO by Yareal's residential offerings have been increasingly popular over the past few years, thanks in part to the completion of the most significant phase with an attractive park, its proximity to Warsaw's city center, and the planned nearby Mińska metro station. The area also boasts one of Warsaw's largest and most charming parks – Skaryszewski Park with Kamionkowskie Lake. In the fourth phase of the investment, Yareal recently launched the sale of additional apartments and units in the SOHO 10 and SOHO 12 buildings, which are quickly finding buyers.

The SOHO by Yareal complex is more than just a place to live. It's a community designed to function as a local hub, combining residential areas, recreational green spaces, services, and dining options. This unique design enables residents to live according to the 15-minute city concept, largely without leaving the estate. The project has received the pioneering BREEAM Communities certificate in Poland for implementing the highest urban design standards, developed in collaboration with local authorities and the heritage conservator.

The complex is a testament to Yareal’s commitment to sustainability, incorporating numerous ecological solutions. These include low-emission concrete and a rainwater retention system that will collect water in underground tanks for irrigating the extensive green areas. SOHO also features a community garden in nursery containers made from recycled clothing, allowing residents to grow their own vegetables, herbs, and ornamental plants.

The construction of the new buildings SOHO 10, SOHO 12, and NEFRYT is scheduled for completion by the end of 2025.
