Construction has begun on Yareal’s latest residential project on Postępu Street in Warsaw’s Służewiec. The developer has signed a contract with the general contractor, Fine Tech Construction. The cascading MOKOPOLIS building will feature over 200 apartments, mainly consisting of the highly sought-after two- and three-room units ranging from 35 to 87 sqm, with loggias and terraces. This is Yareal’s first residential project shaped by consultations with neighbouring residents and the local government, resulting from the application of the special housing law. Construction will begin this month.
The final design solutions for MOKOPOLIS, adopted after public consultations, include a public square with landscaped greenery and a designated guest parking area. Additionally, Yareal has allocated over 5 million PLN for the modernization of the nearby branch of Primary School No. 191 on 12 Gruszczyńskiego Street and for preparing an expansion concept. As a result of the special housing law, a sustainable and community-building project will be realized on Postępu Street, contributing to the transformation of the Służewiec district’s office-dominated infrastructure towards more resident-friendly solutions.
“We are building a publicly accessible estate in an area dominated by gated communities, which often restrict residents’ daily activities. The cascading building, ranging from 4 to 9 stories, will be centred around a large private courtyard garden, completely free of car traffic. The building’s varied height allows for the design of attractive terraces on the upper floors, some nearly 100 sq. m. in size. Additionally, at the back of the building, away from the street noise, we will create a fully furnished green area open to everyone, equipped with a playground and garden furniture made from natural materials. This green area will be part of a larger greenery network extending along the neighbouring estates towards Bokserska Street,” explains Jacek Zengteler, President of Yareal.
“MOKOPOLIS is another residential project we will complete for Yareal. We know the developer’s requirements well, having gathered extensive experience from previous projects, ensuring smooth project execution. This is particularly true regarding adherence to high environmental standards associated with BREEAM green building certification, which is a core value for both Yareal and FineTech Construction,” emphasizes Włodzimierz Bogiel, President of FineTech Construction.
The WWAA studio prepared MOKOPOLIS’s architectural design, which directly references the surrounding architecture and the district’s industrial heritage. The architects ensured that Yareal’s investment would harmonize with the neighbouring hotel structure through a facade featuring a gently undulating, repetitive motif of a distinctive light frame, highlighted by the openwork railings of residential loggias.
Like all other Yareal development projects, MOKOPOLIS will undergo a thorough audit for sustainable solutions as part of the international BREEAM green certification system. The investment will use low-emission concrete and will be equipped with a solar power plant, which will provide free energy for the community. The final BREEAM rating of Very Good will be ensured through solutions such as the installation of optional electric vehicle chargers in the parking garage or a system that recovers energy from modern, energy-efficient elevators.
