CBRE advised AKIPIA, a Czech investment group, on its entry into the Roma Tower project in Warsaw as an investor. The CBRE team prepared an independent market analysis and carried out commercial due diligence on the investment.
Roma Tower will reach 170 metres and will feature 48 above-ground floors and six underground levels, offering 357 luxury apartments. Residents will have access to recreational spaces on two floors, including a full-size swimming pool, a private cinema room, a wellness area, and many other amenities. The building was designed by Juvenes-Projekt under the direction of Jacek Świderski, while the Italian design studio Pininfarina is responsible for the interior design. The general contractor for Roma Tower is a consortium of STRABAG and TKT Engineering. The contract is worth approximately PLN 840 million net, and construction will take 50 months.
The project is a joint venture between BBI Development S.A., Liebrecht & wooD and the Pro Bonum Foundation, with Czech investment group AKIPIA joining on 2 October. The investment already has a building permit, and work is scheduled to begin in October 2026. Roma Tower is the first residential project in Poland to receive the highest possible rating of 3 Stars under Fitwel. This rigorous certification system promotes the well-being and physical activity of building users. The building is also seeking BREEAM environmental certification. The official presentation of the project, along with visualisations, is planned for 2027, when apartment sales are also expected to begin.
“Roma Tower will be the most luxurious residential skyscraper in Poland, and in a segment like this, an investment decision needs solid foundations. Our team prepared an independent market analysis and commercial due diligence to test whether the assumptions on demand, target group, and the scale of 357 apartments hold up. For an entity entering a project as an investor, that verification is a precondition for a sound decision. For the market, it is a signal that capital from the CEE region treats Warsaw’s luxury residential segment as a fully fledged investment class,” says Przemysław Łachmaniuk, Senior Director, Co-Head of Living, Capital Markets, Poland.
The Roma Tower investment will also include the redevelopment of nearby Emilii Plater and Nowogrodzka streets, with improved space for pedestrians and cyclists and new greenery, including rows of trees and low-growing plants. The street works are expected to cost more than PLN 20 million. Further phases of the project will focus on the renovation of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, St Barbara’s Chapel, the Stations of the Cross and the parish house.
