Yareal is expanding its offer of flats and apartments for sale at the firm’s flagship investment, SOHO by Yareal. As part of the project’s third stage of construction, a new apartment building with higher-standard flats will be erected right next to the complex’s central, linear park. Residential building KARDAN will offer a total of 132 apartments spanning between 25 – 125 sqm and 10 commercial premises on its ground floor. Its top floor will feature exclusive apartments with 3-meter-high windows and spacious terraces.
KARDAN is a U-shaped building erected in the centre of SOHO by Yareal; a contemporary and multifunctional residential, service and commercial complex that will ultimately span 5 hectares in Warsaw’s Praga Południe district. The building’s ground floor will include dedicated areas for retail and service points located along an internal passage with large, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and four public entrances centred around an open patio. All apartments above the ground floor will feature tall, Portfenetr-type windows. The entrance to KARDAN’s underground garage will be on Mińska Street. This will provide residents and guests with easy access to the well-liked and popular restaurant, Warszawa Wschodnia, which is located right next to the complex. Some of the parking spaces in the underground garage will be intended for the restaurant and its guests.
The building’s central location, right next to the linear park, is reflected in its characteristic architectural solutions and functions. Its elegant brick tile façade will be a direct reference to the area’s post-industrial history, thanks to which KARDAN will blend in seamlessly with the surrounding residential and revitalized, historic buildings.
“SOHO by Yareal was designed with the 15-Minute City urban planning concept in mind, with residents and guests being able to fulfil most of their needs on the spot – from simply living in the complex itself, to shopping, running errands, meeting with friends, or relaxing in Soho’s many gardens, restaurants and cafés. This is no ordinary estate, but rather a well-thought-out and diversified complex with a number of attractive utilities – combining flats, apartments, parks, greenery, recreational areas, unique architecture and useful services in a single location” – explains Jacek Zengteler, Vice President of Yareal.
The complex will comprise both newly-built and revitalized historic buildings, all of which will feature service and retail points – several dozen in total – as well as a commercial, multi-functional hall near Mińska Street. The entire complex will consist of a dozen or so buildings, surrounded by numerous squares, plazas and alleys, creating a cosy atmosphere that’s so characteristic of the Polish capital’s Praga district. Motor vehicle traffic will be limited throughout the complex, which itself will be adapted to pedestrian and bicycle traffic thanks to a network of sidewalks and cycle lanes connecting all areas of the investment.
The investment is being built in line with modern green building regulations and stringent requirements for BREEAM certification. The complex has also obtained BREEAM Communities certification – one of the first investment’s on the Polish market to do so – which confirms that it meets the highest standards in urban design and was developed together with, i.a. the local government and the area’s conservator. The completion of all stages of SOHO by Yareal will take place in about 4–5 years.
