Half of all apartments built by Yareal in Warsaw’s Bemowo district have already found new owners. The first of NEOWO’s two urban blocks are currently being built in the vicinity of the Chrzanów metro station, which is also under construction, and the estate’s new residents will move into 164 high-standard apartments at the beginning of 2025. The residential complex will be equipped with its own solar power plant and will also be the first in Poland to feature upcycled wind turbine propellers as street furniture. Low-emission concrete will also be used for construction.
NEOWO is Yareal’s first investment in the capital’s Bemowo district. Construction is presently underway on market-popular compact apartments with gardens, loggias, terraces and top-floor mezzanines. NEOWO will consist of two urban blocks and a large, green courtyard with recreation and leisure areas equipped with e.g. a children’s playground and community gardens. The latter is an increasingly common, metropolitan form of sustainable cultivation as residents will be able to grow their own plants, flowers, vegetables and herbs for home cooking. Additionally, the roof of NEOWO’s first residential building will include a sunny terrace fitted with potted plants and recreational equipment.
“The most popular apartments built as part of the first stage of NEOWO include two- and three-bedroom flats that span between 31 – 75 sqm. Our housing offer in Bemowo, which also includes larger apartments, has been prepared for buyers who are looking for highly popular medium-sized apartments. These are often purchased in well-connected locations by families that want to move and improve their current housing conditions. The nearby expressway and the Chrzanów station of Warsaw’s II metro line, which is currently under construction nearby, provide excellent connections to the rest of the city. We have also made sure that our planning is bicycle-friendly – NEOWO will offer a total of 160 bicycle parking spaces located along its green courtyard and in the underground garage. That’s almost as many parking spaces as we plan to create for cars,” explains Yareal’s President, Jacek Zengteler.
Construction works are currently focused on the building’s foundations and underground areas. Along with the investment’s first stage, Yareal will also construct part of a public square that will lead to the entrance of the Chrzanów metro station. This 300-meter-long green axis, which will connect the underground station with the intersection of Lazurowa and Człuchowska Streets, will be open to both NEOWO residents and the public and will be fitted with street furniture made from upcycled wind turbine propellers. Last year, the first pieces of this original urban infrastructure were installed near Yareal’s sales office, which is located next to the NEOWO construction site.
Yareal’s NEOWO project brings architectural order to a district dominated by linear housing estates, most often built on agricultural plots, by creating an urban residential block with a more convenient and resident-friendly layout that ensures improved and more efficient transportation near the area’s metro station. The sustainable and environmentally-friendly solutions found throughout the investment, including an internal photovoltaic plant and street furniture from upcycled wind turbine parts, have ensured the NEOWO estate a BREEAM green building certificate. Real estate developer Yareal leads the industry in terms of obtaining sustainable building certification for its projects – more than 40 buildings erected by the developer have received “Good” or “Very Good” ratings in the international BREEAM green building system.
