On the occasion of the Global Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, which falls on November 19, we are initiating a series of podcasts called “Women of Praga Północ”, in which enterprising women associated with the Praga Północ district will participate. The aim of this initiative is to promote local activists and leaders who contribute to the development of this district, support local communities and inspire others. Women who want to emphasize how important it is to be together, to support each other, to be open to innovative ideas and to be courageous in making decisions.

Global Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is a global initiative aimed at strengthening the position of women in business, developing their leadership skills and supporting entrepreneurship. It is also an opportunity to honor successful businesswomen who are an inspiration to others, and at the same time to draw attention to why it is worth investing in women’s entrepreneurship.

For us, a developer operating in Praga Północ (as part of the projects: BOHEMA and F.S.O. PARK) and cooperating with the local community, companies and organizations, this year’s World Women’s Entrepreneurship Day is an excellent opportunity to integrate active and enterprising women operating in this district, who will share their experiences in a series of podcasts produced by OKAM.

• We decided to invite the Ladies associated with Praga Północ to a joint conversation, to introduce themselves, talk about their business, local government, cultural areas, but also to raise important topics that these women deal with on a daily basis. We want to arrange these stories, in the form of episodic podcasts, in the form of statements by our partners about what is important in the context of the development of Praga Północ, how we can jointly plan changes in this district, its long-term activity for the local community. – Urszula Karczmarczyk – Head of Marketing OKAM City.

Eight inspiring women have already confirmed their participation in the podcast project implemented by OKAM, including:
1. Anna Watkowska – Member of the Board of OKAM Capital and OKAM City, Lider of the F.S.O. PARK Project.
2. Marta Sękulska-Wrońska – Architect, Partner at the WXCA.
3. Katarzyna Kuzko-Zwierz – Manager of the Muzeum Warszawskiej Pragi Branch of the Warsaw Museum.
4. Dorota Wajszczak – Director of the DOSiR Praga Północ m.st. Warszawy.
5. Marta Chojnacka – General Manager of the Galeria Wileńska.
6. Joanna Szafranek – Member of the Board of OKAM Capital and OKAM City, CFO OKAM Capital.
7. Ola Smolińska – President of the Stowarzyszenie Serduszko dla Dzieci.
8. Katarzyna Sołtys – Director of the Dom Kultury Praga.

The aim of this initiative is to remind women of the great business potential that lies within them, how active they are, how independent they are and generally how enterprising they can be. We also want to draw attention to the importance of women’s support from other women.

We would like to systematically expand the group of experts so that the knowledge gathered in the form of conversations is as broad and useful as possible. The premiere of the first podcast with Anną Watkowską is planned for mid-December 2024.

• Our company is close to Praga Północ, where OKAM has been operating for many years, first as part of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga project at ul. Szwedzka, which was also implemented by a woman, and now F.S.O. PARK. after the former FSO. We have cooperated many times with various institutions from Praga, with people involved in activities in Praga Północ. In many cases, the representatives were fantastic women who run or support various organizations in Praga Północ, conduct their activities for Praga, support local activities, the local community, and contribute to the development of Praga Północ. As part of our campaign, we want to strongly emphasize the involvement of enterprising women in the development of this district. We hope that the group of our experts will expand and together we will create interesting stories, a knowledge base that will inspire more women to take an active part in their areas. – adds Anna Watkowska. – Member of the Board of OKAM Capital and OKAM City, Lider of the F.S.O. PARK Project.

The OKAM developer has obtained an occupancy permit for the first stage of the Strefa PROGRESS investment in Łódź. This is OKAM‘s first residential project in this city, combining modern residential spaces with recreational areas, coworking space and a fitness function, created with the comfort and convenience of residents in mind.

– We are constantly involved in the development and promotion of Łódź. OKAM projects influence the new face of Łódź. We have the pleasure and honor to participate in the transformation of the city. Strefa PROGRESS is the first project with a residential function implemented by OKAM in Łódź, but the second one – after the restored Łódź.WORK office complex. Advanced construction works are also being carried out on the plot at Dowborczyków 18 in the New Center of Łódź, where NOW is being built with an offer for over 300 apartments – says Marcin Michalec, Managing Director of OKAM Capital Sp. z o. o.

Strefa PROGRESS located between al. Kościuszki and ul. Piotrkowska, in the first stage, includes 256 apartments with areas ranging from 33 to 155 sq m. The architecture of the investment includes both a lower, 5-story building and a 15-story building rising from the side of Kościuszko, blending harmoniously into the urban fabric of Łódź. The author of the construction design is Grupa 5, and the executive design was prepared by APAVIA and MAMGUSTA. The general contracting was entrusted to Alfa Bet. Investor supervision was carried out by Uni-Form. The interior design of the Strefa PROGRESS was prepared by the Pawilon Architekci studio from Łódź in cooperation with 2×3 creative studio, which was responsible for the visual identification.

OKAM took care of resident-friendly solutions that improve the comfort of everyday life. The Strefa PROGRESS will offer residents a free bicycle and scooter rental, a green patio with small architecture, a fitness facility and a lobby with parcel machines. In response to the needs of people working online, the developer also created a co-working zone with places to work. Thanks to the proximity of the Piotrkowska 217, residents will benefit from the offer of restaurants and events from the world of music, culture and education. The space operating under the name Odlewnia, located at Piotrkowska 217, is already a recognizable point on the cultural and event map of the city.

The Promenada-Morskie Oko Park has gained new vegetation today. As part of the `Partnership for Climate` initiative, together with representatives of the Warsaw City Office, we planted over 2,000 ivy plants.

Green areas improve air quality, reduce pollution levels and increase biodiversity. They also increase the city’s resistance to the effects of climate change and contribute to the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The aim of the `Partnership for Climate` project is to conduct comprehensive, innovative educational and promotional activities related to the issue of climate change. Currently, the project involves around 70 different entities, including OKAM City, government and local government units, embassies and non-governmental organizations.

Such initiatives are very important to OKAM. Care for the environment, climate and human health have been put first from the beginning of the design of the F.S.O. PARK master plan concept, hence, among others, 20 ha of greenery, including 10 ha of park.

WORLD ENERGY DAY, which falls on October 22, reminds us of the need to develop alternative energy sources and save natural resources, which means living sustainably with the natural environment in mind.

According to data from the International Energy Agency, buildings currently account for approximately 30% of global energy consumption and over 20% of global CO2 emissions. At the same time, the energy transformation within the ‘European Green Deal’ assumes a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Europe by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. Its main pillars are: the development of renewable energy, the share of which in the EU energy mix is ​​to reach 40% by 2030, energy efficiency, ecological transport and zero-emission technologies.

When creating the concept of the F.S.O. PARK investment, from the very beginning we included alternative methods of obtaining heat energy and ecological sources of electricity.
In addition to 20 ha of greenery within the F.S.O. PARK, these solutions will help reduce the carbon footprint and reduce energy demand, and thus improve the quality of life of future residents, as well as reduce their electricity costs.

Let’s remember that in the era of climate change, every daily activity to save energy matters.

LET’S START TODAY!

On October 19 at 9:00 a.m., together with the Praga Północ District Office of the capital city of Warsaw, eco workshops will be organized at the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny in the FSO Main Gate at 88 Jagiellońska street in Praga Północ, on the site of the future F.S.O. PARK investment.

We invite you to delve into the fascinating world of trees and wood.

During the workshops, you will be able to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of wood, discovering its natural charm by creating simple sculptures from sticks and wood scraps. Inspired by the beauty of trees, we will transform raw materials into unique works of art. Participants will learn how to carve safely, which types of wood are best for such work, and how their biological properties affect the creative process.

We will also discuss issues related to the perception of trees in our environment and the challenges that trees face in today’s world. We will also answer questions about how these factors affect their health and lifespan, and how we can help improve the living conditions of urban trees.

The workshops are open to adults and children over 10 years of age.

Registration is required:

Free admission.

October 14 is National Education Day in Poland, which refers to the anniversary of the establishment of the National Education Commission in 1773. Education is one of the main values ​​underlying the F.S.O. PARK project.

• Education togethr with a community created around the idea of ​​sustainable development, are the foundation of the F.S.O. PARK vision. With the support of partners who share our values, we want to create a place in Warsaw’s Praga Północ district that builds interpersonal bonds and awareness of ecology and the challenges of today’s world. Only through shared knowledge and efforts can we build a true City of the Future here – emphasizes Arie Koren, founder of OKAM and CEO of OKAM City, the company responsible for the implementation of F.S.O. PARK.

An important space for educational facilities, including a school or kindergarten, will appear on the site of the future F.S.O. PARK investment. Stage I of the project involves the construction of a public primary school for approx. 645 students, which is currently lacking in the area, and its transfer to the Capital City of Warsaw. Currently, there are institutions related to education operating at 88 Jagiellońska street: EkoCentrum ‘Punkt Zwrotny’ (https://punktzwrotny.com/) – a place for educating young people about climate change and sustainable fashion, as well as ‘Wystawa w Fabryce’ (www.fozpit.org/czwarty-sezon) – an exhibition with historic vehicles, including cars manufactured in the former FSO, building knowledge about the history of the automotive industry.

Did you know that trees are the longest-living organisms on Earth?
In addition, they never die of old age. It is insects, diseases and people that contribute to their premature death.

World Tree Day, celebrated in Poland on October 10 since 2002, is an opportunity to draw attention to the importance of trees for the natural environment and human life, as well as to build ecological awareness.

#Trees, as well as entire forests, are essential for the continuation of life on Earth:
🌳 They purify the air, absorb CO2.
🌳 They filter water.
🌳 They purify the soil.
🌳 They lower the temperature.
🌳 They provide habitats for animals.
🌳 And what is also very important, they have a soothing effect on the human mind.

Therefore at #OKAM we are happy to participate in all initiatives that build ecological awareness related to, among others, planting and caring for trees.
Already in April this year, on “Earth Day”, we planted the first symbolic tree on the site of the future F.S.O. PARK investment in Praga Północ (in front of Main Gate of #FSO) which will eventually be transplanted to the first part of the park in stage I of F.S.O. PARK.

The implementation of this stage (approx. 2,050 apartments, approx. 60 commercial and service premises, a public school for approx. 645 students) has a chance to start at the beginning of 2026. It will also include approx. 7 ha of greenery, including approx. 2 ha of park.
Ultimately, 20 ha of greenery will be created on the entire 62 ha of the F.S.O. PARK investment, including 10 ha of a publicly accessible park.

🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳 🌳

Let’s take care of the trees!
On average, the earth loses about 100,000,000 trees every year …
And what is very important, on average one tree produces about 100 m3 of oxygen per year, and just 1 tree can absorb up to 48 kg of CO2 per year!

F.S.O. PARK is more than just a project – it is a new vision for Warsaw, where ESG (ecology, community, management) principles become the foundation of modern urban planning. This innovative project transforms former post-industrial areas into a sustainable, resident-friendly “City within a City”.

During the Reaktywacja Nieruchomości conference on October 10, Piotr Sawicki, Vice President of Pracownia SAWAWA, will present how ESG influenced each stage of creating F.S.O. PARK. This is an example of how a responsible approach to the development of urban spaces can shape the future, combining care for the environment with building a strong community.

Join us and discover how F.S.O. PARK is becoming a symbol of modern urban planning and the future of Warsaw! 🌍🏙️

Every year on the first Monday of October, World Housing Day is celebrated, established in 1986 by the #UN.
It reminds us of the need to conduct an effective urbanization policy, thanks to which growing city districts have access to the necessary infrastructure (energy, water, roads, green areas).

⚡ 💧 🛣️ 🌳

Our F.S.O. PARK investment will be developed according to the specific architectural vision of WXCA and 
Pracownia SAWAWA in cooperation with #OKAM and the values behind it, such as #community, #education, 
#ecology, healthly lifestyle, #greenery 
or respect for historical heritage.
Within F.S.O. PARK we plan not only residential buildings, but also commercial, service and office spaces, recreational areas, educational facilities or 20 ha of greenery, including 10 ha of central park. A number of solutions will also be used that are friendly to the natural environment (#RES, retention networks, limiting the transport of combustion cars, etc.). A new place to live on the map of Warsaw’s Praga Północ will be located in the immediate vicinity of public transport (trams, buses, metro in the future).

OKAM, as an experienced developer operating on the Polish market for 20 years, has always paid attention to building new spaces for living in the spirit of the New Quality Policy introduced in its projects, which puts the comfort of life of future residents first.
At F.S.O. PARK we go further, we build not only apartments but above all space, a place for living in the spirit of values ​​that were the foundation for creating the F.S.O. PARK concept.

On October 3, another inspiring meeting took place at ZODIAK!

This time, the discussion focused on building communities around universal values, how such a process works, and how specific design or investment activities can support it.
The pretext for the conversation was, among others, the currently presented exhibition “Plans for the Future 2024”: F.S.O. PARK, or the “district of the future” planned on the site of the former Passenger Car Factory.
The project is distinguished by its concern for the quality of public space as a place of special social and cultural value for each community.

F.S.O. PARK is a project that shows how values ​​such as community and ecology can shape modern urban spaces.

No one today probably has any doubts about the importance of the “E” factor: “Environmental” in ESG strategy. Nevertheless, the factor that hides the real superpower is the “S” factor: “Social”.

Architecture and spatial planning give this power – the power to connect individuals into communities, the power to support social, democratic dialogue.

During the PULSE Architecture & Design Prague 2024 conference, the architect of the architectural concept of F.S.O. PARK Marta Sękulska-Wrońska talked about using this power on the example of the projects of the Polish Pavilion at Expo 2020, the Museum Complex at the Warsaw Citadel, the concept of rebuilding the western frontage of Pałac Saski and the F.S.O. PARK district.

This coming Friday, October 4th, Galeria Wileńska together with the A.R.T. Foundation, under the patronage of the Mayor of Praga Północ District Gabriela Szustek, and with the support of partners including OKAM / F.S.O. PARK, is organizing a unique event for seniors. A day full of fun, education and integration. A number of attractions that will allow you to actively spend time, make new friends and take care of your health.

Between 26 and 29 September this year, the 7th edition of the international art festival Warsaw off ART took place titled “Where is this honey?”. The event took place in the Glicerynownia building, located in the revitalized by OKAM: BOHEMA – Strefa Praga complex at 26a Szwedzka street in Praga Północ in Warsaw. The partners of the event are OKAM and F.S.O. PARK.

This year’s edition featured young artists from Poznań, Leipzig, Cracow and Warsaw, whose work is intended to encourage reflection on today’s challenges of the young generations. The artists’ works refer to the financial situation of the youngest generations and their professional lives.

• We regularly participate in various artistic projects in Praga Północ, which is very close to us due to the investments carried out in the district. This time, OKAM provided space for an exhibition of works by young artists as part of the alternative art festival Warsaw off ART. We are glad that we can once again support artists and we hope that this is not our last meeting as part of Warsaw off ART. – emphasizes Urszula Karczmarczyk, Marketing Director of OKAM City.

At the turn of December 2023 and January 2024, OKAM was the organizer and patron of the exhibition of drawings by Praga artist Tymon Wodnicki from the series “Never ending drawing”, which was presented in the FSO Main Gate Building and the target investment F.S.O. PARK at 88 Jagiellońska street in Warsaw.

The exhibition as part of Warsaw off ART was available to visitors from 26 to 29 September, from 12:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Glicerynownia building, at 26a Szwedzka street. A vernissage was also planned for 26 September at 17:00.

• The festival stands out for its independent, off character, which attracts artists looking for space to experiment and audiences interested in the latest trends in art. This is an event that crosses formal and geographical barriers, creating a platform for various forms of artistic expression and building bridges between cultures. – says Piotr Ambroziak, Originator and Director of the Warsaw off ART Festival.

Since 2018, Warsaw off ART has been an independent artistic platform, a grassroots initiative by artists for artists. It celebrates the work of talented artists from Poland and around the world in all fields of art, such as painting, sculpture and music. Since its inception, the event has hosted over 100 artists.

OKAM has received a legally binding occupancy permit for stages D, E and F of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment. Thus, after almost 6 years from the commencement of revitalisation works, we are finalising this multi-stage complex in Warsaw Praga Północ.

Stages D, E and F covered a total of 15,824 sq m of PUM, 5,702 sq m of PUU and 3,478 sq m of office space. They were carried out by OKAM for the AFI Europe fund, which, in addition to commercial space, will provide a total of 371 PRS premises here.

OKAM purchased over 4 ha of land at Szwedzka Street in Warsaw after the former Pollena-Uroda plant in 2014. The entire complex has 50,000 sq m of PUM and 10,000 sqm of retail space. The last element of the project is the renovation of the 130-year-old Warzelnia building, where 67 unique premium lofts are being built, with an area of ​​28 to 104 sq m.

The completion of the works around WARZELNIA by Bohema is planned for 2025. More information can be found at: www.warzelniabybohema.pl/. Currently, as part of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga complex, OKAM has office and commercial space with a total area of ​​approx. 2,500 sq m in the Glicerynownia building (stage B).

Excessive exhaust emissions and high noise levels accompany residents of Polish cities almost every day. Although many of us cannot imagine life without a car, it is worth exchanging four wheels for public transport or a bicycle as often as possible.

“Car-Free Day”, which took place September 22nd, is a symbolic appeal encouraging drivers to leave their cars in the garage or in front of the house.

By bike, scooter or on foot? We will encourage such forms of ecological movement on the premises of our future F.S.O. PARK investment by creating appropriate infrastructure within it, including bicycle and scooter paths. The movement of combustion vehicles, especially within the internal, publicly accessible 10 ha of the park, will be limited. Thanks to this, not only will the safety of people moving around F.S.O. PARK be increased, but we will also contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and noise levels in the area. This will in turn have a positive impact on the quality of life and health of the residents of the new place to live in Warsaw’s Praga-Północ, neighboring housing estates, and their guests.

Life without a car is really possible!
Besides, exercise is health 😊

Poland is once again involved in activities promoting the Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Agenda 2030.

Our F.S.O. PARK investment will be built as part of sustainable construction and will be a place created with current and future generations of Warsaw residents in mind, as well as with care for the natural environment.

Through our project, we will respond to many of the 17 UN Goals, including:

• Good health and qulity of life – we plan to create recreational and sports areas, including bicycle and running paths. 20 ha will be green areas, including 10 ha of a publicly accessible central park. We will also limit the traffic of combustion cars inside F.S.O. PARK.

• Good quality of education – on the premises of F.S.O. PARK will be created educational facilities. A public primary school for approx. 650 children has a chance to be built in stage I of the investment.

• Clean and accessible energy – we plan to use solutions from the area of ​​renewable energy sources, including photovoltaics, solar collectors, heat pumps or perovskite photovoltaic cells, which will also translate into lower electricity bills.

• Sustainable cities and communities – F.S.O. PARK will be a place that builds community and social bonds, thanks to, among others, common spaces that support this. NO to isolation, YES to community and being together.

• Climate action – apart from green areas, we will introduce solutions that will help reduce CO2, lower temperature, reduce waste production or plastic consumption. The EcoCentrum ‘Punkt Zwrotny’ is already operating on the area of ​​the future investment, whose mission is to educate mainly young people in the field of circularity and sustainable fashion.

In Warsaw’s Praga Północ district, we want to create a ‘City of the Future’ that is friendly to the local community and environment, where ecology, a healthy lifestyle, community and education are the overriding values.

In recent years, more and more post-industrial buildings, pre-war tenement houses or post-industrial areas are getting a second life. Thanks to the passion of investors and architects, in old walls or on reclaimed areas, extraordinary projects are being created that combine the past with the present and even look into the future.

During the session on September 17 as part of the Property Forum 2024 – PropertyNews.pl TALKS “Trends that are heating up the commercial real estate market” – we had the opportunity to comment on the topic: Demolish or revitalize?

Among excellent experts, we had the opportunity to answer questions such as:
– Is it easier to modernize and change the functions of buildings or build from scratch?
– What difficulties do investors encounter in this type of implementation?
– How is the tenant mix selected?
– Costs vs. effect?
– Which is more ecological: recovering materials as part of demolition or revitalization?

This topic is extremely close to us. F.S.O. PARK is an example of an investment that OKAM is implementing on a former factory site with great respect for the history of this place. We assume the revitalization of selected historical buildings or their fragments and giving them new functions.

PropertyNews.pl, Grupa PTWP, PropertyDesign.pl – we would like to thank you for the opportunity to take part in the discussion.

On September 13 this year, 300 exhibits were presented in the former #FSO Paint Shop building (almost 600 in total), including cars manufactured in FSO: #Warszawy, #Syrenki, #Fiaty 125p and #Polonezy, but also motorcycles, bicycles, fuel dispensers, engines, etc. In addition, the exhibits also include vehicles whose parts were manufactured in other Polish production plants. The entrance gate to the factory with inscriptions and the FSO logo (previously located on the side of Kotsisa Street) was also recreated, and a place was prepared for the dismantled name of the factory from the Main Gate.

During the meeting inaugurating the ‘Exhibition in the factory’ together with experts:

– Anna Watkowska – Member of OKAM Board, Lider of FSO PARK Project

– Zbigniew Mikiciuk – Founder and owner of Muzeum Motoryzacji i Techniki w Otrębusach

– Maciej Bień – Director of `Exhibition in the factory`, Chairman of the Committee of Historic Vehicles of the Polish Automobile Club

we discussed what steps should be taken to preserve the legacy of FSO, which ceased its operations 13 years ago.

To start with, the Exhibition will be open to visitors on weekends from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (the last group enters at 2:00 p.m.).

Entry tickets will be required and can be purchased at: www.fozpit.org/czwarty-sezon

We ran, helped and had a great time!

What a day it was! On behalf of OKAM, 3 teams took part in the run. The sun was quite a challenge and the wind was equally demanding, but we did it 🏆

Congratulations and thanks to all the participants from #OKAM who made the magic happen on Sunday, September 8th  and the Poland Business Run came to fruition 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

September 7th was quite intense for us. In addition to the ECO-PICNIC at the FSO Main Gate, we also supported the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny, which operates daily at the FSO Main Gate during the Non-Governmental Organizations Picnic and the Haller Square Festival.

At the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny stand, you could test your knowledge of waste segregation and win one of the prizes, including one from F.S.O. PARK, and also make a colorful rag out of second-hand clothes.

Ufff, a busy weekend is behind us, but it was worth it 😊

www.fso-park.pl

September 7, we had the great pleasure of hosting you at ECO-PICNIC at the front of FSO gate.

The weather was great, so we consider the relaxation a success.

The picnic was full of fresh delicacies from farmers! Great dumplings, fish, cold cuts, cheeses, pickles, juices straight from producers, healthy hemp, hot dishes from food trucks, artisan ice cream, refreshing lemonade and many, many more made sure that no one left here with an empty basket.

And those who wanted to spend time lounging on a deckchair with an English book in their hand had such an opportunity.

The overarching idea of ​​the FSO PARK is to create a unique place in Praga Północ that will gather residents around values ​​related to, among others, a healthy lifestyle, being together or education. ECO-PICNIC at the front of FSO gate initiates the activities planned by us, supporting this goal..

We would like to thank all the guests for coming, the representatives of the Praga-Północ District Office of the Capital City of Warsaw, headed by Mrs. Gabriela Szustek – Mayor of the Praga-Północ District for honoring us with their presence, the exhibitors for their wonderful products and LokalnyRolnik.pl for their support:

On 26-28.07.2024, Kościuszko Avenue turned into a hot space for music concerts 🔥

On July 26, for the 27th time, the latest projects for Warsaw (from 15 districts) and 5 neighboring municipalities were gathered in one place. This year, 64 projects by 41 studios were presented, including our F.S.O. PARK designed by WXCA and SAWAWA.

„Plans for the Future” have been a freeze-frame of what architecture is at given moment since 1996. They show how the challenges we face change and how design teams respond
to them. How the assumptions of new projects evolve. Finally, how form follows function, which later most visibly affects the appearance of the city.
The presented projects are proof that architecture can and should serve everyone. Designed with accessibility, greenery and counteracting heat islands in mind, they show how urban space can become more friendly and functional.
„Plans for the Future” is not just an exhibition. It is a space for imagination and for real plans that shape our tomorrow.

In addition, the Sustainable Architecture Circle of the Warsaw Branch of SARP was asked
to indicate the most interesting projects and provide them with additional commentary, and F.S.O. PARK was also marked. We are very proud, that’s an understatement 😊

Exhibition location:               
ZODIAK Warsaw Architecture Pavilion, Pasaż Stefana Wiechecki Wiecha 4

„Future plans”:                      
26/07 – 27/10/2024, Tue-Fri: 3:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m., Sat-Sun: 12:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m.

We would like to congratulate Natalia Hajska, who worked at OKAM and, as it turns out, her master’s thesis: “Smart heritage: a case study of F.S.O. PARK” at the Kozminski University, received the highest grade with honors.

According to Natalia: “Key takeaways include how technological innovations can support heritage conservation as part of urban redevelopment. F.S.O. PARK is a perfect example of such integration, showing that the Smart Heritage concept works in practice.
I would like to thank my supervisor, prof. Tomasz Olejniczak, for valuable tips and support during this journey. I am also extremely grateful to Anna Watkowska for giving an inspiring interview that significantly enriched my research.
It was a pure pleasure to write about a topic that has such particular importance for heritage protection and urban planning.

We are very proud and happy that F.S.O. PARK may have been part of Natalia’s master’s thesis and served as an example of smart heritage.

Big applause for Natalia!

On June 22, Matiz lovers met at the main gate of the FSO to reminisce, exchange information, take a souvenir photo and once again feel the spirit of the former FSO.

Daewoo Matiz was one of the last cars assembled (from December 1998) and then produced (from October 1999 to February 2007) at FSO. In total, the Warsaw factory assembled and produced 152,363 Matiz, which were mainly sold on the Polish market, as many as 149,953 pieces.
In 2000, the Matiza M100 was subjected to frontal, side and pedestrian crash tests. In the frontal collision, the car received 6 points, and in the side collision – 13.
19 points allowed for 3 out of 5 stars. Pedestrian safety was rated at 15 points, which gave two stars on a four-point scale.
Was it a safe car? Judge for yourself.

The history of FSO is very important to us. Master Plan concept of F.S.O. PARK assumes the preservation of selected buildings or fragments, we want the former factory to be part of F.S.O. PARK.

In September this year we are opening the “Exhibition in the Factory”. More details coming soon.

“Bicycle May” organized in cooperation with the Municipal Roads Authority has ended. The campaign in Bródnowski Park officially ended in mid-June.

This year, as many as 501 institutions, including 272 kindergartens and 229 primary schools, signed up to participate in Warsaw’s “Bicycle May”. 111,771 active participants completed a total of 2,535,556 journeys. In May, as many as 49% of all possible trips to Warsaw schools and kindergartens participating in the campaign were actively made. It was a record-breaking “Bicycle May”.

A healthy lifestyle is one of our guiding values ​​that we want to develop in the future F.S.O. PARK investment in Praga Północ.
🌳 🏡 🌳
Inside F.S.O. PARK we will limit car driving and focus on ecological means of transport, including bicycles. Bicycle paths will be created on 62 ha of land, which will be available to both residents and visitors of F.S.O. PARK.

What a match it was!
On June 16, we took part in the “Serduszko Cup” football tournament, organized by the “Serduszko dla Dzieci” Association, with which we have been cooperating in Praga Północ for many years.

Great time spent for a good cause for the benefit of the children of day care centers and care and educational institutions in Warsaw.
Our OKAM boys gave their all, for which we thank them very much!

Sport is one of the very important elements that make up our F.S.O. PARK investment. An internal 10-hectare park with bicycle paths, running and walking paths, a sports field next to the school, all in the spirit of a healthy lifestyle.

Is it possible that the first school year of EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny is just passing?

Since its opening at the end of September last year, over 10,000 people have visited Punkt Zwrotny and these were young people from all over Poland – Wrocław, Katowice, Zielona Góra and even Rumia!

The first year of conducting an experimental climate education project based on gamification, escape rooms, fun and cooperation showed how effective it is in teaching and inspiring young people.

We are glad that such place already exists in our investment: FSO PARK

In mid-May, in a greenhouse in the internal, educational courtyard of an office building on the premises of the future FSO PARK, investment, the team responsible for this project planted first vegetables and fruits.

The tomatoes and strawberries have already started to turn red. The first harvest is coming soon

This is a taste of what we plan to implement at F.S.O. PARK, which will be built on a 62 ha plot in Warsaw’s Praga Północ district.

Apart from caring for the natural environment and education in the field of ecology, what guides us and manifests itself in the planned vision of F.S.O. PARK is, among others, promoting an active lifestyle, including healthy eating. On the premises of F.S.O. PARK there will be 20 ha of greenery space for practicing sports as well as a dedicated space for greenhouses and an eco-market

As research shows, in recent years the percentage of Poles suffering from various diseases has been constantly increasing, and many people do not feel the need to eat healthily.*

It is worth remembering that a proper diet affects not only your physical condition and a healthy body, but also your well-being and mental health.

According to the healthy eating pyramid, in addition to physical activity, you should regularly consume products from various food groups, such as vegetables and fruits, dairy products and cereal products.

Enjoy your meal 🙂

Every year, Poles also produce several billion kilograms of waste, and their number is growing every year. Unfortunately, apart from containers, waste is also left in forests, parks or thrown into water reservoirs, which has a huge impact on the future of our planet.

It is worth remembering that the most important decisions regarding waste disposal are made in our homes, instead of throwing them away – we can give waste and unnecessary things a new life, as part of:

👉 Recycling, i.e. processing a used product or material to create a new version of the same item (e.g. cardboard) – in this case, we must remember about proper segregation.
👉 Upcycling – you can process a given item or material yourself, giving it new functionality and greater value; perfect examples would be a balcony seat made of Euro pallets, a bottle as a vase, old car parts as lamps or even a body scrub made of coffee grounds.
👉 Downcycling – which is a form of processing waste from which functional and valuable products of lower quality are created, such as waste paper or toilet paper.

As OKAM, we regularly participate in initiatives related to climate protection, including clothing collections in cooperation with EcoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny, we properly segregate waste at our headquarters, and upcycled items appear in sales offices, such as: lamps in BOHEMA sales offices or furniture in INSPIRE. Building eco-awareness, as well as appropriate waste management by companies and individuals, are extremely important in today’s world – that is why we are already planning environmentally friendly solutions that we will implement in our F.S.O. PARK.

The guiding principle for us at F.S.O. PARK is, among others, air quality, waste recycling and reducing energy consumption!

At the beginning of the month, the next edition of the nationwide ‘Bicycle May’ campaign, addressed to primary schools and kindergartens, began. Its idea is to popularize physical activity and riding two-wheelers among the youngest, with over 145,000 participants. kids.

🚴

A healthy lifestyle is one of the values that we want to develop in the future F.S.O. PARK investment 🌳 🏡 🌳 Inside F.S.O. PARK we will limit car driving and focus on ecological means of transport, including bicycles. Bicycle paths will be created on 62 ha of land, which will be available to both residents and visitors of F.S.O. PARK.

Taking a ride or permanently switching from four wheels to two wheels brings many benefits – exercise in any form is, above all, health: it improves your mood, strengthens your immunity and improves your heart function! It is also a great value for the environment – unlike cars, bicycles do not emit CO2 and produce a much lower noise level.

We encourage you to use this form of transport not only in May!

We’re switching to bikes 🚗 👉 🚴

Did you know that each 1 kg of textiles introduced into the second cycle saves 6,241 liters of water and reduces CO2 emissions by 12.9 kg?

We join the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny operating on the premises of the future F.S.O. PARK, for the clothes collection campaign as part of the Spring Wardrbe Cleaning:: 👕 👔 👙 👜 👒 Clothes and more will gain a new life instead of ending up in the trash.
his is not the end, because we will turn kilograms of collected textiles into zlotys that will support the Fundację Splot Społeczny. This is a Foundation that has created a center for exchanging items in Warsaw’s Praga district, a place where you can leave what you no longer need and take something that will be useful to you.

We planted the first Miyawaki Forest together thanks to the invitation of PZFD.

This fast-growing forest is 30 times more dense and 18 times more biologically diverse. It will grow twice as fast as a regular forest 🌿🌳

Over 60 people from 16 development companies spent Saturday morning, as befits the construction industry, with a shovel in their hand.

Thank you for inviting us and we look forward to seeing you in the future! 🙂

OKAM knows how to play green 🌳

The plantings can be admired at the entrance to the Warsaw Uprising Mound. The forest will be part of the “Burza” Action Park, financed by PZFD as part of the Green Fund for Warsaw.

The first symbolic tree planted in front of the EcoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny on the occasion of the largest international ecological holiday: Earth Day – April 22, 2024!

#Lipa Broad-leafed linden is the beginning of the transformation that begins in the area of the former #FSO and the future FSO PARK.

The planted example of the broad-leafed linden tree is approximately 15-20 years old and approximately 5 m high. Lindens are the second longest-living European trees after oaks – on average 300-500 years – which means that many generations will have the opportunity to see this tree. Ultimately, it will be transplanted into a 10-hectare central park, which will be partially implemented as part of phase I of the F.S.O. PARK.

In addition to OKAM representatives, the event was also attended by:

Representatives of Ekocentrum Punkt Zwrotny.

Youth of Akademia Dobrej Edukacji – Warszawa.

Emilia Ulińska and the team from Ulińscy – Szkółka Roślin – founder of the broad-leafed linden tree and other plants

Benedykt Kawecki with the team – an architect, a specialist in plants and greenery design from AKBK studio (Architektura Krajobrazu Benedykt Kawęcki), who was responsible for the planting arrangement project.

hansgrohe – founder of awards for young people..

The “Miasta i Deweloperzy” conference in Łódź gathered many experts from the real estate industry. OKAM had the opportunity to be a substantive partner of this event.

Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital, acted as an expert during a panel devoted to current events on the housing market in relation to the housing report for Q1 2024, prepared by Marek Wielgo, RynekPierwotny.

Each participant shared their observations on the current situation on the real estate market.

There were in-depth discussions on topics such as:

✅ development and sprawl of cities,

✅ summary of 5 years of the so-called “special housing act”,

✅ “Mieszkanie na start” program and pro-supply activities,

✅ spatial planning,

✅ reducing construction costs.

Meetings based on reporting data allow for a substantive discussion on the current situation of the development industry.

Dialogue about stage I of the F.S.O. investment PARK has started!
F.S.O. PARK 🌳 🏡 🚲 👪 will be a multifunctional, sustainable and ecological City of the Future located on a 62 ha plot at 88 Jagiellońska st in Praga Północ, owned by OKAM Capital.
This place will change the face of the post-industrial area of the former Passenger Car Factory.

– We want to change the face of the run-down, post-industrial area in a sustainable way, to the benefit of the residents of the district and the entire capital. F.S.O. PARK will be a place to live fully, in harmony with nature and as part of a neighborhood community. The voice of the local community is of great importance to us, because we are creating this project with current and future generations of Warsaw residents in mind. We therefore invite all interested parties to share their observations and ideas – says Anna Watkowska, Member of the OKAM City Management Board and Leader of F.S.O. PARK Project.

In accordance with the architectural vision, as part of phase I covering 13.5 ha, OKAM envisages the implementation of:
🏠 approx. 2,000 apartments for approx. 4,600 inhabitants
🛍 approx. 60 commercial and service premises
🌳 approx. 7 ha of greenery, including approx. 2 ha of a central park
🏫 public primary school for approximately 650 students, which will be handed over to the local government
Planned start of construction of phase I: Q4 2025.

More information on the dialogue and the meeting schedule can be found here: www.fso-park.pl/dialog

We invite you to participate in the dialogue regarding phase I of the F.S.O. PARK, which will last from April 15 to May 15 this year.

Will 2024 be a turning year?

Where are the sources of financing and in what direction do they flow?

Have any cities and sectors retained their power to attract capital?

Questions plaguing the real estate market were answered by participants of the annual spring meeting – expert practitioners taking part in the EurobuildCEE conference devoted to investing in the real estate market.

One of the panels “The restless sleep of apartment buyers and tenants” was led by Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

Substantive discussion, the latest market information, insightful analyzes and forecasts, as well as a unique networking opportunity – these are the advantages of the Eurobuild conference – we couldn’t miss it!

Water plays a huge role in nature, and therefore in human life. Unfortunately, billions of people around the world do not have access to running and clean drinking water, and this problem also affects people in Europe. This is due, among other things, to climate change, and the situation is expected to get even worse! According to UN forecasts, the demand for water will double by 2050, and more than half of the world’s population may be at risk of water deficit.

On the occasion of World Water Day, Hansgrohe Polska, which, together with OKAM, co-created a space for the EcoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny” in the FSO Main Gate, invited architects and the media to “Punkt Zwrotny” to talk about how architecture and design can help fight the access to water crisis.

The special guest of the event was Ewa Ewart, author of the award-winning documentary “To the Last Drop”. The film reveals how irresponsible and thoughtless human actions lead to the water crisis.

But it also inspires – we learn the stories of people who fight for clean and healthy rivers, it shows that we can contribute to solving this crisis.
Taking care of the gift of life, which is water, is an important element of the landscape of our F.S.O. PARK investment 🌳 🏠 💧 🚴 The project will be implemented in a sustainable way, with care for the natural environment. Our plans include, among others: installation of a 100% rainwater retention system. It is to be fully developed on our 62 ha plot using rain gardens, infiltration basins, bioretention ditches, retention ponds and underground seepage tanks. The recovered water will first be used to maintain the water level in retention ponds and then redirected to the toilet flushing installation or public sewage system. We also plan to use local pre-treatment stations for the recovery of gray sewage from apartments.

Let’s remember to save water every day, not only on World Water Day!

At the beginning of March 2024, OKAM Capital issued unsecured series A bonds. The value of the issue was PLN 50 million. In July 2023, the OKAM Group obtained PLN 27 million from the bond issue.

The offer was addressed to both private and institutional investors, with most of the demand coming from the latter group of investors. At over 65 percent value of the bond issue, subscriptions were submitted by funds.

– We repeated the success of last year’s issue, carried out in the amount of PLN 27 million by OKAM Incity – a company from the OKAM Group. At that time, demand exceeded supply by almost 30%. This year’s issue, carried out in the 20th anniversary of OKAM’s existence, allowed us to obtain almost twice the amount. The great interest in unsecured bonds from individual buyers and institutional investors confirms their trust in us as a reliable and reliable business partner and developer – emphasizes Joanna Szafranek, CFO of the OKAM Group.

The funds from the issue will be allocated to the implementation of OKAM’s investment plans, including primarily the further development of the land bank. In January 2024, the company concluded a preliminary agreement securing land in the Warsaw agglomeration, on which up to 1,000 apartments may be built. The developer also signed two letters of intent for the purchase of plots in Łódź with the potential to develop several hundred units. OKAM’s immediate plans also include launching the next stage of the CITYFLOW residential investment in Warsaw and the PROGRESS Zone in Łódź. The company also faces a multi-stage F.S.O. project. PARK on a 62-hectare plot in the capital city of Praga-Północ, which will be developed over the course of approximately 25 years.

OKAM bonds will be listed on the ASO Catalyst market after their registration. The brokerage house serving the OKAM Group is Dom Maklerski Michael / Ström.

Today is World Recycling Day!

It is worth to remember not only on this day that proper waste segregation is extremely important for the climate.

Did you know that Poles produce over 13 billion kg of garbage annually?
Did you know that a plastic bottle takes about 500 years to decompose, an aluminum can takes from 200 to 400 years, and a plastic bag takes about 300 years?

Faster, because over the next 25 years our F.S.O. PARK investment will be built in Warsaw. However, today we are looking for the best solutions for the environment, which we will introduce in the first stages of the project.

OKAM – Make living better

Recently, we have concluded 10 new lease agreements on the property of the former FSO in Warsaw, at 88 Jagiellońska street, with a total rentable area exceeding 13,000 sq m. These contracts cover office, warehouse and yard spaces, bringing various benefits to companies operating in the warehousing, service, transport and education industries. Currently, over 150 different companies and organizations operate on the plot.

As Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM City, emphasizes:
“We renew lease agreements with existing tenants and conclude new contracts. We do not have to convince partners of the advantages of our offer – location, flexibility in cooperation and, finally, diversity of space – these advantages appeal to other companies and organizations that join the group of our partners. Despite the target plans for the next quarter of a century, the multi-stage nature of the future F.S.O. PARK project will allow these entities to operate in our area for years to come on attractive terms.”

On Thursday 08.02.2024 was roof topping out ceremony of the building the Cityflow. This is a symbolic completion of construction works on the first stage of this investment. The second stage is in the preparation phase. The investor of Cityflow is OKAM ACADEMICUS, a company belonging to the OKAM CAPITAL capital group, and the general contractor is Unibep S.A.

Cityflow investment at ul. Redutowa in Warsaw includes two stages with 749 apartments in four buildings. As part of the first stage of the estate, two 10-story buildings were built, housing 330 apartments with areas ranging from 29 to 193 sq m. and two service premises. There are over 390 parking spaces in the underground garage.

The second stage of Cityflow assumes the construction of: 416 premises with areas ranging from 32 to 178 sq m. in two buildings with 5 to 9 above ground floors, one commercial premises, and 540 parking spaces in the underground garage. In both phases of the project, the apartments will have balconies, terraces or gardens.

– It is an honor to be among the leading general contractors building for OKAM – one of the leaders among development companies specializing in residential and commercial construction. This means that the Unibep brand is perceived on the market as a trustworthy contractor of high quality and solid projects – says Dariusz Blocher, President of the Management Board of Unibep. – Previously, we implemented projects in Warsaw for OKAM, such as InCity in Wola, Vista in Mokotów and BOHEMA – Strefa Praga in Praga Północ. I would also like to remind you that we have recently signed a contract for the implementation of the second stage of Cityflow. This means that our long term cooperation is beneficial to both parties and we have built good relationships between our companies.

The OKAM project will stand out on the market with its high standard of finishing and eco-solutions. The developer is introducing the Appartme Standard housing automation system to each apartment in the Cityflow investment. The ‘smart home’ solution will allow you to control 4 main areas: heating, electricity, lighting and water valves. It will be possible to manage the apartment remotely, from anywhere in the world, using a free mobile application. Appartme is one of the solutions resulting from the New OKAM Quality Policy.

As part of pro-ecological solutions, the estate will include, among others: automatic irrigation system with collected rainwater. The space of the estate is intended to be conducive to relaxation and sports activities. The extensive green areas around the buildings will be closed to traffic. There will be an amphitheater, a space with water mist, a vegetable garden and a street workout zone. The developer also planned a free bicycle and scooter rental and a two-wheeler service station.

– It is extremely important for us that the realization of Cityflow is going according to plan, which is due to good cooperation with Unibep. The project enjoys great interest on the market from buyers, and this is influenced by: attractive location, surrounding infrastructure, as well as the investment’s distinguishing features – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

The contract between OKAM and Unibep for the first stage of Cityflow was signed in December 2022, completion of this phase of the investment is planned for the end of 2024. In turn, the contract for the implementation of the second stage of this investment was signed in December 2023. We expect completion of the second stage of construction works in the second quarter of 2026.

We decided to make this year’s Fat Thursday exceptionally good 😊

We are joining the charity campaign “Replace a donut with a warm meal for a child”, organized by Fundacja Pociecha.

The campaign aims to raise funds to support children in need by providing them with hot meals.

How do we participate in the action?

1. Financial support: OKAM will donate money to the Pociecha Foundation

2. OKAM piggy bank: individual donations can be redirected online https://zrzutka.pl/7xtwjp/s/okam

Maybe you would like to join?

We encourage you 😊

OKAM entered the new year with 4 contracts in the general contracting system.

Thanks to the contracts signed in 2023, the construction processes of our residential investments were secured:

– CityFlow in Warsaw – with Unibep,

– Inspire (buildings E, F, G) in Katowice – with Grupa TK,

– NOW in Łódź – with FineTech Construction,

– Warzelnia by Bohema in Warsaw with FineTech Construction.

The second stage of the CITYFLOW investment will be carried out for OKAM by Unibep S.A. The subject of the contract is the construction of a complex of residential and multifamily buildings with services, an underground garage and land development. The commencement of the realization of the second stage of Cityflow is scheduled for Q1 2024, completion – for Q2 2026. Unibep continues construction works on the investment plot in Warsaw at Redutowa Street, and is the General Contractor also of stage I of the CITYFLOW estate.

The building proces of INSPIRE in Katowice was entrusted to the TK Group. The contract covers the construction of 3 residential buildings: E, F, G. This is the first investment carried out jointly by both companies and concerns the fourth stage of the INSPIRE residential complex. Construction works will start in the first quarter of 2024, and commissioning is scheduled for the first quarter of 2026.

For the NOW investment in Łódź, which will be built at 18 Dowborczyków Street, on the border with the New Center of Łódź, we chose FineTech Construction. Pursuant to the agreement concluded on December 5, 2023, cooperation with FTC includes the construction of a multifamily building, which will consist of over 300 apartments with areas ranging from 29 to 113 square meters. The works will start in the first quarter of 2024 and are scheduled for completion in the first half of 2026.

General contracting of the historic WARZELNIA building at Szwedzka Street in Warsaw was contracted with FineTech Construction. The construction site was handed over in August 2023, construction works started a month later and their completion is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025.

OKAM started cooperation with KODO Interior Designs and Realization. The cooperation will include turnkey apartment arrangement and finishing services for customers who want to move into ready-made premises. The developer’s partner will carry out projects in OKAM’s investments in Warsaw and Łódź: CITYFLOW, NOW, Strefa PROGRESS and WARZELNIA by BOHEMA.

– We focus on high standards in our projects. We provide modern and environmentally friendly solutions and use good quality finishing materials. We cooperate with partners who provide professional services and high standards. Cooperation with KODO will allow us to offer our clients additional benefits and above average comfort – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

KODO is a studio providing turnkey interior finishing and furnishing services. He has 14 years of experience in guiding clients through the process of designing their apartments. As part of the cooperation, he demonstrates a comprehensive and individual approach to each implementation, starting from understanding the needs of the owner of the premises, developing an architectural design, through the selection of materials and regular visits to the construction site, to finalizing the project with the provision of warranty services. Customers receive a space ready to live with minimal involvement in the project.

– An integral part of purchasing a property is thinking about its interior. As an OKAM partner, we will also be a partner of each client planning to purchase real estate. Already when choosing your dream premises, our architects are ready to help you make a decision that will allow you to realize your vision of living in this place at a later stage. Conscious purchase and arrangement that will fully use the potential of the space is the key to customer satisfaction – says Maciej Skupiński, President of the Management Board of KODO.

We closed 2023 with a record result for the company. We sold over 500 apartments and handed over the keys to approximately 650 premises to customers, of which as many as 473 premises concerned Central House – the largest investment in the history of the company carried out without division into stages 😊

Last year was also favorable from a financial perspective. The value of revenue generated by OKAM Group companies amounted to over PLN 400 million while maintaining stable margins on projects.

We entered 2024 with four general contracting agreements for a total amount of PLN 370 million. Signed at the end of last year, they secure the implementation of investments in Warsaw: stage II of Cityflow (with Unibep) and WARZELNIA by BOHEMA (with FineTech Construction), in Łódź: NOW (with FineTech Construction) and in Katowice: stage IV of Inspire (with Grupa TK).

OKAM is ambitiously entering 2024. We continue to implement the strategy that assumes the sale of approximately 500 apartments annually in the medium plus and premium segments in attractive locations and taking into account the standards of the New Quality Policy. We are not only dynamically developing our projects, but we are also expanding our land bank. – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

In January 2024, we concluded a preliminary agreement securing land in the Warsaw agglomeration on which up to 1,000 apartments may be built. We also signed two letters of intent for the purchase of plots in Łódź with the potential to develop another several hundred premises.

During 4 Design Day on January 25-28, the International Congress Center in Katowice will again become the largest space in Poland for conversations about architecture, design, real estate, city development and sustainable design 🌍 Among these conversations there will also be the concept of F.S.O. PARK!

📌 On January 25, architect of F.S.O. PARK: Marta Sękulska-Wrońska CEO of WXCA will be one of the experts of the inaugural session entitled “Immortal design. Eternal architecture. “To live to the age of the Empire State Building and still be as hot as armchair Barcelona.” The topic of the session will be timeless design that stands the test of time and meets the fashion for mass, fast and temporary architecture.

📌 On January 26, Marta will present the architectural and urban concept of our F.S.O. PARK, a vision of a multifunctional, ecological district of the future on the premises of the former Passenger Car Factory.

We keep our fingers crossed for Marta!

The last stage of the INSPIRE investment includes 3 buildings: E, F and G with 9 above-ground storeys along with a ground floor and 2 underground floors. 188 apartments will be built here, along with gardens, balconies and storage rooms. Building E provides 85 apartments, F – 55, and G – 48 apartments. The premises will have a diverse area: from small, studio-type ones with a size of approx. 28 sqm. to apartments with an area of 142 sq.m.

• We are expanding the group of partners by entrusting the TK Group with the implementation of the next stage of the INSPIRE investment. This is our top investment in Katowice and we are on the home stretch to finalize it. We believe that cooperation with a reliable company, with many years of experience in the field of construction and investment implementation, will contribute to the achievement of the quality and deadline goals set by OKAM. The high standard, location in the very center of the capital of Silesia with access to green areas and a number of amenities in the multi-stage INSPIRE housing estate already guarantee a good quality of life for several hundred residents who have decided to associate themselves with this place – says Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

“Coffee with electricity” at F.S.O. PARK – this is another pro-environmental concept after EkoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny”.

Near the Main Gate of F.S.O. PARK will be located a station for charging EV electric cars with 14 stations. The station will be complemented by a cafe where you can not only drink delicious coffee and eat something good, but also work or hold a longer meeting in a larger group, even online, while waiting for your electric vehicle to be charged. The opening of the concept under the working name “Coffee with electricity” is planned for 2024.

Within approx. 3 km of the area of the former Passenger Car Factory at 88 Jagiellońska St. lacks cafes and restaurants, and at the same time, over 140 companies and organizations operate on the 62 ha plot that belongs to us, and are also often visited by clients and contractors. The office building of the former FSO Management Board also houses three universities: the College of Education in Sports, the College of Banking and the Private Sports Secondary School. Thousands of cars pass through this part of Praga Północ every day.

To make life even easier for current and future tenants and local residents, as well as to take care of the natural environment, we decided to connect the cafe with an electric vehicle charging station. The premises are located in the right part of the F.S.O. PARK Main Gate Building. A business partner is currently being sought. Right next to the cafe, a modern EV charging station will be created, still one of the few in the capital.

EcoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny” at F.S.O. PARK – this is where the change begins!

This is a place for young people that, based on popular escape rooms, provides knowledge about fast fashion and sustainable development in a very interesting formula.
Only 3 months have passed since the opening of “Punkt Zwrotny” in September this year and it has already been visited by 141 school groups, and another 95 are already registered. That’s almost 4,000 visitors.

EcoCentrum builds an audience – both among students, teachers and adults (events/open days/film screenings). Among other things, certificates for teachers visiting the EcoCentrum have been introduced, and regular Open Days of the “Punkt Zwrotny” for families are planned soon.

We can’t wait to have more fantastic plans for 2024. Congratulations and thank you for being with us.

So why not do something together? After all, as the motto says: F.S.O. PARK is THE PLACE THAT CONNECTS.

So: on December 14 to the Main Gate of F.S.O. PARK will be visited by the MONUMENTAL ART of Tymon Wodnicki.
We invite everyone to the opening of the drawing exhibition from the “Never ending drawing” series.
F.S.O. PARK – a sustainable city of the future – is intended to be a place that, among other things, will also focus on the needs and promotion of the activities of local artists and entrepreneurs who, together with us, will bring this place back to life. An announcement of our future activities is the exhibition of the works of Tymon Wodnicki – an artist who has been living and working in Warsaw’s Praga for years.
Tymon Wodnicki’s drawings are characterized not only by their artistic craftsmanship, but also by their gigantic formats. We found that the 62 ha plot of F.S.O. PARK is enough space to accommodate them.

The opening will be honored with an intimate performance by Miss Ann, i.e. Anna Watkowska – Leader of the F.S.O. PARK. You will have the opportunity to listen to atmospheric arrangements of songs from the album “Perfectly” as well as a song announcing the next album.

Today, together with Mamy Projekt, we officially opened the EcoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny at the F.S.O.PARK investment site.

• We invite you to 88 Jagiellońska St. in Warsaw > the former gate of FSO (F.S.O. PARK)

EcoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny = the place where change begins!💚

This is a new place on the map of Warsaw where by solving eco-puzzles you can discover the secrets of fast fashion. The main theme is the fashion industry. This is no coincidence, because young people build their identity, i.a. through clothes, accessories and appearance.

The modern EcoCentre will educate free of charge – mainly young people – in the field of circularity and sustainable fashion. However, this will not be standard learning, but experience and education through games!
 
Today’s meeting was hosted by: Małgosia Żmijska and Joanna Studzińska – creators of the Turning Point, Anna Watkowska – leader of the F.S.O. PARK project and promoter of eco style, Katarzyna Kacz – expert on circularity and environmental education.

We are glad that this noble ecological initiative has entered our walls – it is the first step towards a sustainable City of the Future, which we want to create in Warsaw’s Praga Północ. By creating the F.S.O. PARK concept, we wanted to draw more attention to the challenges of today’s world, including climate change or the noise that surrounds us, raising social awareness in this area. We are already building a community of people, companies and organizations that share our values around these topics – we are glad that Mamy Projekt was among them. The investment planned by us will be focused on ecology, including de-concreteing the space, reducing plastic consumption, temperature and CO2 emissions – it is to bring life to a higher quality, healthier and more conscious – emphasizes Anna Watkowska, Member of the Management Board of OKAM City and Leader of the F.S.O. PARK Project.

To participate in free classes, school classes can register via the form > https://punktzwrotny.com/zapisy/
On weekends, at the Punkt Zwrotny, there will be less waste workshops, educational meetings and clothes exchanges. The EcoCentre will cooperate with various organisations.
 
We would like to thank the participants of the event and our business partners: Archidesk > Martyna Banaszczuk > Ceramika Paradyż > Mapei > Unicell International sp. z o.o. > Hansgrohe Group.

F.S.O. PARK

A unique vision for the development of 62 ha of the former FSO area – possible to implement with the support of the Warsaw authorities and business partners.

The concept of the Master Plan is based on the values: ecology, education, community, healthy lifestyle.

Multifunctional and sustainable City of the Future – 20 ha of greenery, including 10 ha of a central park, a number of ecological solutions, a refined architectural layout with modern apartments, educational institutions, as well as commercial, service and office spaces – a place to live, work, but above all, to high quality of life. This is the vision of F.S.O. PARK – an investment that OKAM will implement from start to finish in Warsaw’s Praga-Północ district. Commencement of works on a 62 ha plot at 88 Jagiellońska in Warsaw, as part of the first stage, is planned for the beginning of 2025, and the implementation of the entire project will take approximately 25 years. The concept of the Master Plan for the entire area, in the presence of architectural studios, partners and local government authorities, was announced by OKAM on September 12 this year.

– For over 2 years since the purchase of the plot, we have been working intensively with local authorities and organizations, partners and experts to develop a common vision of the future of the former FSO area that is satisfactory for all parties. When creating the concept of its development, we were guided primarily by the desire to build a place that would be characterized by a high quality of life, responding to the needs of contemporary and future generations. F.S.O. PARK is intended to be a place that connects the local community, business and local authorities on various levels around such ideas, including: such as: education, ecology and community. We assumed sustainable revitalization, combining historical elements with new functionalities and modern solutions, including pro-environmental ones – which would create a sustainable, multifunctional City of the Future. – points out Arie Koren, founder of OKAM Capital and CEO of OKAM City, the company implementing the investment.

  And adds:

– For such a revolutionary concept of F.S.O. PARK had a chance to become a reality, good will and commitment of everyone is necessary, from local government institutions, local organizations to partners and experts, as well as the local community, we will not be able to achieve it alone. We believe that only together we can change the face of the post-industrial areas in Praga-Północ district and give them a new life. We hope that together we can change this small part of the world for the better and that others will follow in our footsteps.

The architectural vision of the area was created by OKAM, in cooperation with the WXCA and SAWAWA studios. It refers to the Master Plan implemented by Dawos at the request of the Warsaw City Hall in 2019.

OKAM purchased a run-down post-industrial area of the former Passenger Car Factory in 2021. Having experience in the revitalization of post-factory areas and paying attention to history, the developer decided two years ago to preserve selected buildings or their fragments, which was included in the Master Plan concept.

As Anna Watkowska, Member of the OKAM City Management Board and F.S.O. Project Leader, points out. PARK:

– In line with the idea of “from high quality of work to high quality of life” we want to create a unique, open living space for people who are aware of themselves, their expectations and values from the area that was once a workplace. Our main goal is to draw attention to the challenges of the modern world, including: increasing levels of environmental pollution, increasing CO2 emissions, social isolation, noise and insufficient education on these topics. Let’s start these changes together at F.S.O. PARK, in a place that is supposed to connect. Thanks to our experience and the scale of the project – 62 ha, we believe that this is absolutely possible, and thanks to this this part of Warsaw will change beyond recognition for current and future generations. We want to carry out an investment combining residential, educational and sports, commercial and service or office spaces, entirely in the spirit of ecology, in cooperation with partners who share values similar to ours and look in the same direction as we do in the spirit of sustainable development.

The usable area of the entire area will be approximately 700,000 sq m, and the PUM area will be almost 440,000 sq m. The first stage is planned to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. As part of the first stage of the project, which will cover approximately 11 ha, some residential buildings with commercial and service areas as well as the first fragment of the park will be built. Ultimately, the entire investment will include approximately 12,000. apartments intended for 17-19 thousand people, as well as approx. 13 thousand new jobs. The entire project is expected to last approximately 25 years.

Multifunctionality for the local community

F.S.O. PARK will not be fenced, it will be an open place for the local community, and the investment will include numerous public spaces. In addition to residential buildings, there will be educational and commercial and service facilities, including space for an eco-market, office space, and zones intended for organizing cultural events. Residents of Warsaw will have free access to, among others: to a green oasis in the form of a 10 ha park, which will be an extremely important element of the project stretching along the entire length of the area.

The concept of the Master Plan assumes the construction of educational institutions, including a primary school for over 650 students (over 200 more than calculated), which is to be built as part of the first stage of the investment. In the future, they have a chance to appear in F.S.O. PARK next educational institutions. OKAM’s vision also assumes the creation of recreational and sports areas adjacent to the space dedicated to educational institutions, as well as, for example, a public skate park, running and bicycle paths – aimed at promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.

Ecology – conscious and healthy life

One of the most important elements of the investment will be green areas – they will cover approximately 20 ha of the plot, of which 10 ha will be occupied by a park running through the central part of the investment. In order to raise awareness of the impact of ‘green architecture’ on physical and mental health, special greenery will be designed around and on the buildings.

The project will be implemented in accordance with the principles of sustainable construction, and primarily environmentally friendly materials and prefabricated elements will be used. The pro-environmental solutions that OKAM plans to implement in the investment will contribute to CO2 reduction, temperature reduction, reduction of waste production, plastic consumption and individual combustion wheeled transport, as well as to the development of renewable energy sources. In addition to climate protection, they will ultimately translate into reducing the costs of electricity and water consumption, as well as improving the quality of life of residents and tenants.

For about 2 years, the developer has been building a Business Community of innovative companies around the project’s vision that share similar ecological values – among them are: WXCA, SAWAWA, Buro Happold, DB Energy, Saule Technologies, Viessmann, Pekabex, Hansgrohe, Paradyż, Unicell, Mapei, ArchiDesk and Martyna Banaszczuk’s Studio. The project area may include renewable energy solutions: photovoltaics, solar collectors, heat pumps and perovskite photovoltaic cells. Thanks to renewable energy, it will be possible to reduce the demand for electricity from the grid by 20%. A total rainwater retention system and an internal low-temperature network are also planned. Modern solutions, according to the assumptions, will allow for 100 percent reduce the demand for thermal energy from the network needed for water heating and air conditioning in the summer months, and also by 34% lower demand for thermal energy from the network in winter.

To reduce CO2 emissions, the traffic of internal combustion cars, including passenger cars, will be prohibited within the complex. Collective parking lots will be built around the investment, points for delivery vehicles and couriers will also be designated, and OKAM will provide residents and tenants with electric vehicles and bicycles. In close proximity to the areas where F.S.O. PARK will be built there are bus and tram stops, and the Żerań FSO metro station is to be built nearby. Thanks to the extensive road arteries, you can get to the center of the capital in about 20 minutes. Right behind the investment there is also the S8 exit road from Warsaw. Ultimately, the entire project envisages a reduction of as much as 70%. demand for transport by own car.

In the complex at the end of September this year. There will also be an Ecocenter called “Punkt Zwrotny”, where school students will be able to develop their knowledge about ecology and sustainable development free of charge in the form of interactive workshops. Individuals will also be able to take advantage of the Center’s offer. Activities within the initiative will be led by Mam Projekt – a team experienced in building modern tools for ecological education. More at > www.punktzwrotny.com

On August 11, Szwedzka B Sp. z o.o., a company belonging to the OKAM Group, concluded a contract with FineTech Construction for the general contracting of the WARZELNIA building in Warsaw.

We have planned to start construction works at the turn of August and September this year, and their completion in the 2nd quarter of 2025.

– WARZELNIA will be a pearl of Prague architecture, complementing the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga complex finalized by OKAM. We entrusted the implementation of such an important investment to an experienced entity – FineTech Construction, being convinced that in 2 years we will announce a joint success. This is the first loft OKAM project in the almost 20-year history of the company, at the same time another extremely significant one as part of the revitalization of post-industrial facilities carried out by us. Today we are rewriting the history of the WARZELNIA – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

WARZELNIA is part of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga complex with a historic restored chimney in the heart of the investment. In the revitalized spaces will be built 67 lofts in various areas < from 28 to 104 sq.m > with associated surfaces, such as a terrace, outdoor garden or winter garden.

The uniqueness and originality of the project is evidenced by both the history of the place and the architecture. The historical character of the investment will be emphasized by a brick façade and aluminum window joinery with muntins. The historic exterior walls will be preserved in many interior spaces. The elegant lobby welcomes guests with high-quality finishing materials. The distinguishing feature of the project is a green patio with the original roof skeleton and footbridges suspended on it.

On June 29, we took part in the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Independence Day of the State of Israel!  The event was organized by the Embassy of Israel at the Hilton Hotel in Warsaw. OKAM was represented by Arie Koren – CEO of OKAM City and Anna Watkowska, Project Leader and Member of the Management Board of OKAM City.

Participants of the event had the opportunity to see and hear Anna Watkowska also as a singer. Our Board Member sang three songs in three different languages, i.e. Hebrew, English and Polish.

Congratulations to Ania on a successful performance!

We are very pleased that we could make our contribution to support that ceremony!

OKAM focuses on the highest quality of building interpersonal relationships. 🙂

As part of the 2 stages already completed, were built 3 buildings with 303 apartments (1^st stage) and 4 buildings with 270 apartments (2^nd stage). The last apartment sold in the 2^nd stage was a flat with an area of over 117 sq.m, located on the 6^th floor, which includes two balconies. On the entire area of BOHEMA, next to the residential part, there will also be a commercial, recreational and office zone.

–The metamorphosis that is taking place at Szwedzka Street in Warsaw is part of the change in the face of Praga-Północ, a district that has been developing very dynamically in recent years on all levels. BOHEMA – Strefa Praga will guarantee high comfort of living and working. We can see that the numerous advantages of the project, including a high standard of finishing and an outstanding location, translated into a great interest in residential premises. Now it’s time to implement the BREWHOUSE building, the pearl of BOHEMA! – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

OKAM continues the revitalization of the space after the POLLENA URODA factory and begins work on the over 130-year-old BREWHOUSE building. As part of the investment, will be built 67 lofts in the premium standard. The pre-sale of these unique apartments on the scale of Warsaw is underway.

The currently implemented stage includes a recreational and commercial part which will consist of revitalized historical buildings, including buildings with characteristic names: Kotłownia, Glicerynownia, Pudełrnia. The distinguishing feature of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment is the central space, i.e. the open Square with a historic Chimney, restored by OKAM. The public zone will be intended for rest, social meetings and fun for the youngest. It is also a place designed for the organization of events, theater performances or outdoor cinema. The commissioning of the space is planned for the end of June this year.

The investment is located in Praga-Północ at Szwedzka Street – directly next to the metro station of the same name. Nearby there are bus and tram stops and larger city arteries, facilitating communication with other districts of Warsaw. From here, the centre of the capital is about a 15-minutes drive away.

In the developing part of Wola, we will create a multifunctional living space. It will provide residents with numerous eco-solutions and facilities with zones intended for activity. In the project, nearly 40 percent – i.e. about 1.5 ha of the plot – is a biologically active area.

Thank you for visiting our stand at EXPO Łódź during the spring edition of the Real Estate Fair!

We hope that we were able to answer all your questions and dispel all doubts related to the purchase of Apartment in the Strefa PROGRESS.

Meanwhile, we are waiting for you in the Sales Office – from Monday to Saturday – al. Kościuszki 132/ Piotrkowska 217 Street in Łódź.

We would like to remind you that both on our website and stationary in the sales office you have the opportunity to take a virtual walk around the selected apartment.

We have received a valid permit for the implementation of a residential project at 18 Dowborczyków Street in Łódź! The investment will be located in the vicinity of our office building – ŁÓDŹ.WORK on part of the area where Teodor Meyerhoff’s factory operated in the past.

The project will be carried out on a plot of approx. 6,700 sq m. As part of the revitalization activities we have planned a facility with approx. 350 apartments in 4 buildings: 4, 6 and 9 storeys. The garage hall is provided on level – 1.

– We are extremely looking forward to the next project in Łódź. It is a city with which we have been associated since the beginning of OKAM’s existence, which is flourishing before our eyes, having a further, huge potential for development. Łódź is perceived as an attractive place to live and invest. We actively participate – both through construction projects and participation in various initiatives – in its transformation. Thanks to the revitalization process we transform damaged objects, giving them a new color. We combine what is most important, historical elements with modern accents – new faces and functionalities of our projects are appreciated by the inhabitants of Łódź. – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO OKAM Capital.

Some premises will have individual terraces on the roofs of buildings with direct access from the apartments. An interesting element will be finishing the walls and pillars of the ground floor façade with a brown-brown stone or porcelain tile cladding. On selected fragments of the façade will be used ceramic veneers. An important advantage of the complex will be the greenery surrounding the investment, a green courtyard and adapted roofs of buildings. Among other advantages of the project will be automatic watering of green areas with collected rainwater. Residents will have parking spaces at their disposal also with connection to charging electric vehicles.

The investment will be characterized by an excellent location, in the very center of Łódź. This means access to developed infrastructure: with public transport, commercial and service facilities or cultural facilities in close proximity.

We have planned to start construction works in the 3rd quarter of this year and their completion in the 3rd quarter of 2025.

With the support of the KALLAN architectural studio, we have created the final vision of the revitalization of the WARZELNIA in the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment at Szwedzka Street in Praga Północ. The facility combining history with modernity will be located in the immediate vicinity of the Chimney – the central point on the map of BOHEMA. Currently activities related to the commencement of construction works are being carried out.

– The final appearance of the revitalized WARZELNIA is something we wanted to achieve bearing in mind the attachment to the smallest detail of this extraordinary place. It will be a gem in the heart of BOHEMA but I would be tempted to say that also a kind of architectural gem of the 21st century on the map of Warsaw. I admit that we are looking forward to the final effects i.e. ready, unique and modern lofts in these historic buildings – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO OKAM Capital.

In the revitalized over 120-year-old building will be built 67 lofts. Some of them will be characterized by an above-average height, reaching almost 3.5 meters. The apartments will be equipped with high windows with muntins as well as veneered portals and entrance doors. Each loft will include: balcony, loggia, terrace, outdoor garden, winter garden or mezzanine. They will also be equipped with a high-quality video intercom and an intelligent management system. Apartments on the ground floor from the side of the gardens will be additionally secured with external automatic blinds. The uniqueness of the façade of the building itself will be brick and the use of corten – a material referring to copper steel. The combination of these materials with different textures will create an original and interesting effect.

Inside the WARZELNIA there will be a green courtyard with appropriately selected vegetation and at the entrance to the building and courtyard there is an elegant representative lobby. From Szwedzka Street residents will have commercial and service premises at their disposal. We have also planned parking spaces.

– The WARZELNIA project is a timeless design experience that allowed us to create a unique living space and breathe new spirit into post-industrial buildings. When trying on this task we took into account the Genius Loci of this magical space. This allowed us to shape the post-industrial tissue in a way that complies with conservation requirements as well as the requirements for contemporary metropolitan apartments. Both the materials used and the applied language of architecture emphasize majestic, post-industrial spaces without trying to compete with them – adds Rafał Langowski, Architect, KALLAN Architekci.

Due to the uniqueness of the space, the investment arouses great interest – about 30% of lofts have already been sold. The commencement of revitalization and construction works is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2023, while their completion and commissioning of the WARZELNIA  is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2025.

2022 was an active time for OKAM. Focusing invariably on high quality and attractive investment locations, we have been developing dynamically despite the challenges faced by the real estate sector in the last 12 months.

In 2022, we started important projects and continued the implementation of subsequent stages of our residential investments: in Warsaw, Łódź and Katowice:

• in Warsaw’s CENTRAL HOUSE, in Mokotów, a topping out has been hung – nearly 500 apartments will be built as part of the investment and at any moment we will be at the stage of the first acceptances;
• in Wola we started the construction of CITYFLOW;
• we have completed the implementation of the next stage of the residential part of BOHEMA – Strefa Praga – thus we have completed approx. 280 apartments in stage C;
• in Łódź we have driven a shovel at the 1st stage of the Strefa PROGRESS – at the moment we have sold approx. 40% of apartments;
• in Katowice we commissioned 111 units as part of the 1st stage of INSPIRE and we carried out works around the next stages of the investment;
• let’s not forget about the 62 hectare project in Warsaw’s Żerań – we will soon finish work on finalizing the masterplan. We plan to announce it in spring 2023;
• in 22 we changed our headquarters – currently we operate at Jagiellońska 88 Street in Warsaw.

– In 2022 we have moved forward dynamically at OKAM. We developed despite rising prices or shortages in the availability of building materials as well as difficulties in obtaining mortgage loans by potential buyers. The last 12 months have shown us that the philosophy professed from the beginning: providing consumers with the best possible standards and selection of attractive locations, is appreciated and translates into a market position. We hope that this year will be even better for us and definitely more stable for the industry – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

Since the beginning of 2023, we have been working equally intensively and we are ready for new challenges in accordance with our philosophy: to provide consumers with the best possible standards! We hope that thanks to the commitment of all OKAMers this year will be even better, more active and full of further successes on our account!

We’re glad that we could take part in this year’s Christmas charity campaign – “Developers for the Łódź Hospice for Children ŁUPKOWA” – organized by the Łódź Branch of PZFD.

We’ re happy that we could make a contribution and help children!

From today, we have a new headquarters. Our new office is located at Jagiellońska 88 Street in Warsaw.

Yesterday we took part at the Christmas Eve organized by the “Heart for Children” Association which we support. The reception took place in the banquet hall “Kultura Wysoka” at Szwedzka Street in Warsaw.

We have officially signed a contract with UNIBEP which will act as the General Contractor for the implementation of the first stage of CITYFLOW in Warsaw. This is another, after BOHEMA – Strefa Praga, VISTA Mokotów and INCITY, jointly implemented project. 

– CITYFLOW will be our next unique investment, allowing future residents to enjoy everyday joy – active spending of free time but also living in the rhythm of words, rest and self-development in the spirit of eco. The investment will give you a chance to “swim” in a beautiful environment on the border of the city center and its peaceful side. We are extremely happy that we will soon start work on 1st stage – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

As part of the 1st stage – in Warsaw’s Wola district – will be built 2 buildings with 333 apartments and 2 commercial premises. The entire investment is characterized by numerous eco-solutions that support environmental protection and improve the comfort of life of residents. Approx. 40% of the entire plot is a biologically active area. For the use of residents, green areas and activity zones will be available, i.a: vegetable garden, amphitheater, spaces for relaxation and quadrupeds, resident’s club.

The author of the cityflow architectural concept is the DEDECO studio.

The commencement of works is planned for later this year and their completion – in the 4th quarter of 2024.

We are glad that we managed to enrich and diversify the vegetation in Warsaw’s parks!

We have received a legally valid permit for the revitalization of the Warzelnia in BOHEMA – Strefa Praga! That means the possibility of continuing revitalization activities in the post-industrial areas of Warsaw’s Praga Północ. As part of stage B of our investment, on a plot of over 3000 sq m will be built almost 70 lofts in the original over 120-year-old building. Completion of works and commissioning of the Warzelnia is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2025.

Lofts in the revitalized Warzelnia will be characterized by an above-average height reaching up to 3.5 meters which is an exception on the architectural map of the Polish.

– We give new life to post-industrial facilities, respecting their history while taking into account current trends. Warzelnia and the whole BOHEMA – Strefa Praga is a perfect example of this in which we preserve the original architecture and spirit of the past. We are glad that we will be able to create premium apartments in such an old building of the Warzelnia, hiding a beautiful page of history. – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital. 

Lofts will include mezzanines, loggias, terraces, outdoor gardens and winter gardens. The facility will consist of one four-storey building with an internal, green courtyard. We have also planned parking spaces. 5 service and commercial premises will also be available to residents. The commencement of works is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2023.

18th of November, Marcin Michalec – CEO OKAM Capital, during the on-line broadcast, commented on the change in the function of historical buildings and structures on the example of our investments.

That topic was part of the discussion on revitalization, giving life to old buildings, recycling and upcycling of historical interiors and all this in the beautiful scenery of Cukrownia Żnin.

“Lights and shadows of revitalization” – 17th of November, at the SARP headquarters, we took part in a discussion on revitalization. OKAM was represented by Marcin Michalec.

We invite you to watch short recordings under the link:

https://wetransfer.com/downloads/974fc8a83f7f59abf5c0106a0f676da420221117114854/e1d238dfbeb1af46aaa2fe37c876d89920221117114918/05bf9d

OKAM joined the Code of Good Practice Equal Company campaign organized by “Forbes Women“. Forbes has created a code for companies that really want to be equal.

We have signed a declaration referring to the Code of Good Practice of Equal Company. Thus the company declared that – guided by the principle of equality and diversity in business – will try to respect the Code of Good Practices!

OKAM has been included in the list of signatories which was included in this year’s paper editions of “Forbes Women“. At the end of the year we will receive a Certificate of participation.

Principles of the Code of Good Practices which OKAM declares as part of the “Equal Company” campaign:

1. Recruitment without notice
2. Canceling the wage gap
3. Parenting doesn’t exclude
4. Awareness building and educational activities
5. Anti-abuse
6. In the highest positions should be at least one woman

We continue the revitalization of post-industrial areas in Praga Północ as part of our BOHEMA investment taking into account the environmental aspect! Final works are underway related to the renovation of buildings around the main square in phase B: Glicerynownia, Kotłownia with space around the chimney. Surrounded by a historical, central point, i.e. a chimney will be created a green area with: hammocks, sun loungers and a recreation area for children. Shaping such oases is our response to the trend of concreting cities.

– OKAM is associated with ambitious revitalization projects. We give new life to post-industrial facilities, respecting history but also taking into account innovations or trends and bearing in mind the ecological aspect. Polish cities are perceived more and more often as excessively concreted. That’s why it is so important to skilfully carry out the revitalization of post-industrial areas while shaping new biologically active areas. Therefore on all our investments we try to create green spaces in which residents can relax from the hustle and bustle of the city. – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

That means that BOHEMA will be more than just a place to live. It’s to be a combination of living and commercial space with a chimney located in a central place. The square with the Chimney is the most important point in BOHEMA. It’s a square that is to be teeming with life and create a meeting place for residents, their guests as well as all Varsovians and visitors and everything with thoughtful green architecture in the background!

The commissioning of the space around the Chimney is planned for the 2nd quarter of 2023. In turn in the 1st quarter of 2023 will be finalized the renovation of the surrounding historical buildings, i.e.: the Glicerynownia, Kotłownia and the new commercial facility – Pawilon.

We have obtained a legally valid permit for the implementation of the CITYFLOW investment at Redutowa 9th Street in Warsaw’s Wola district. We will create a unique housing estate there, which will be surrounded by greenery and an activity zone for residents. CITYFLOW will be implemented on a plot of land, nearly 40% of which will be a biologically active area.

The entire investment will consist of 743 apartments with a height of up to 2.8 m located in 4 buildings – from 4 to 8 floors. As part of the 1st stage will be built two 8-storey buildings with 334 apartments with areas ranging from 29 to 193 sq m. Including on the last floors also penthouses with terraces on the roof as well as a place intended for the resident’s area on the ground floor. The remaining apartments will be enriched with spacious balconies and gardens. In the underground garage there are over 926 parking spaces as well as almost 300 storage rooms.

An extraordinary advantage of this project will be its surroundings designated by green areas. The investment will be surrounded not only by neighboring external parks and squares. It will be also  filled with internal green belts with a central square with a fountain so that residents will have constant contact with nature at their fingertips. In the complex for joint use there will also be an activity and relaxation area which will consist of: a vegetable garden, a secluded enclave with sun loungers and hammocks, an amphitheater and a square with water fog, a playground or a part intended for street workout lovers. There will also be a recreation area for animals.

In accordance with our New Quality Policy the CITYFLOW will be additionally equipped with numerous pro-environmental solutions and increasing the comfort of life of its residents. Among the amenities will be, e.g.: air purifiers and sub-sink water filters in each apartment, free bike and scooter rental, charging points for mobile devices, photovoltaic panels on buildings, a station for bicycle service or a resident’s club for common activities of residents.

As part of the pre-sale over 25% of apartments in the 1st stage have already been purchased. The commencement of construction works under this phase is planned in the 4th quarter of 2022, and their completion in the 4th quarter of 2024.

We are pleased to present a duet!

And who are we talking about?

Agnieszka Kobus – Zawojska – world and European champion and Olena Buryak, vice-champion of the world. The previous rivals joined forces and used the potential for a good purpose during the Henley Royal Regatta 2022 – the most prestigious rowing regatta in the world!

The story of the joining forces of rowers is moving…

Agnieszka invited Olena to Polish, as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to ensure her safety and shelter. In this way, friendship and a strong duo at the regatta were born! The main mission of the players is to collect money that will be donated to Ukrainian sport! 

In the Royal Henley Regatta, the rowers reached the semi-finals.

We are glad that we could make our contribution and support Agnieszka and Olena! We are rooting for them with all our might!

On June, took place the 6th edition of the Real Estate Impactor competition – the author’s look of journalists of “Rzeczpospolita” on the real estate market. Discussion panels were devoted to what happened in the past year in combination with what happened today and in the future.

We’ re developing cooperation with the Institute of Interior Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź under which 14 students prepare functional and spatial arrangements for three different formats of apartments (1, 2, 3 – rooms) in the Strefa PROGRESS in Łódź.

When creating an arrangement, students can take into account, e.g. functionality, current trends or potential expectations of future tenants. As part of individual ideas they can take into account, e.g. the layout of furniture or plan lighting.

– Strefa PROGRESS is an investment dedicated primarily to young people – active, living with passion, looking for work-life balance. That’s why we want to get to know their needs better. The voice of the young generation, which will largely live in the complex, is extremely important to us and we are convinced that it will be a significant inspiration for us and the future residents of the Łódź investment – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

The deadline for submitting works will pass in September this year and the announcement of the results and the transfer of prizes to the winners is planned for October. There will be financial, main and distinction prizes in each of the three categories. The jury will include representatives of OKAM and the Academy of Fine Arts in Łódź.

Emotions after the event in the INSPIRE in Katowice have not yet subsided!

On 08/06/2022, we officially completed the construction of the first two buildings A and B as part of the 1st stage  of INSPIRE investment in Katowice. The ceremony summarizing this phase of the project was celebrated together with representatives of the Katowice city authorities, authors of the project (architects from Bar Orian Architects and Czora& Czora studio), representatives of the General Contractor – Grimbud company and Santander bank, financing the investment, media representatives, as well as future and current residents.

Accompanied by a good treat in an intimate courtyard we could talk about a new investment and dispel all doubts.

The culmination of the evening was the concert of Miss Ann, our Member of the Board – Anna Watkowska!

Residents of the INSPIRE can use many amenities, including access to the Resident’s area, fitness room, sauna or rental of bicycles and electric vehicles – Twizy Renault. Each apartment is equipped with an air purifier, and photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof. The estate is located near the ponds, offering buyers of apartments, e.g. bicycle paths, cross-country trails, and as part of the complex an internal patio and a playground. Currently, the last apartments in 2nd stage (building C) are still on sale. The pre-sale of the 3rd stage (building D) has also begun.

– This is a very important project for us because it’s implemented on the basis of the New Quality Policy implemented a few years ago by OKAM. In our projects, we attach great importance to standards, we constantly improve the quality of life of residents and care about their health and comfort but we are also close to pro-ecological initiatives. That’s why we give all buyers of apartments on our top project in the Three Ponds Valley renowned air purifiers from Viessmann to breathe clean air in their interiors – emphasizes Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital Sp. z o.o.

On 19/05/2022, on the plot in Warsaw’s Żerań district, we organized a meeting for commercial agents, during which Olga Duda – Leasing Manager in Okam City in Żerań, presented an offer to lease the existing commercial space.

The meeting began quite originally, because the “sentimental journey” around the corners of the former passenger car factory with our OKAM guide. Then there was the official part, abounding in specific knowledge about the lease possibilities offered by the spaces of the former factory.

On a 62ha plot located at Jagiellońska 88 Street, future tenants have the opportunity to rent existing office spaces, with areas ranging from 20 to 1.000 sq m. There are also warehouse and production halls from 100 sq m, as well as paved squares, advertising areas as well as facilities and rooms for events, photo sessions or film sets. Currently, there are approx. 5.000 sq m of office and service space and approx. 65.000 sq m of warehouse space for rent, as well as approx. 27.000 sq m of open space in the form of squares. OKAM offers a flexible lease period under contracts. The area also has extensive parking lots for tenants to use.

– At the moment, we have buildings and spaces in Żerań that we want to develop and rent. Proper preparation and multi-stage implementation of the investment, which we ultimately have in our plans in this area, is a matter of the next dozen or so years. Today, we offer other companies and entities from various industries attractive space and multifunctional infrastructure, which – we are convinced – will meet their expectations – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM City and Member of the Management Board of OKAM Capital.

At the end of April 2022 we finished voting for the names for the new buildings in BOHEMA.
The voting took place among the future residents – Buildings: A, B1, C1, F (Stage C).

We present the names that received the highest number of votes:

• Building A → ARETUZA
• Building B1 → MERKUR
• Building C1 → CERES
• Building F → ELIDA

The motive to designate our new buildings were the names of products that were produced in factories located in BOHEMA for over 120 years!

The historical buildings that we are revitalizing will retain their original names, e.g.: Warzelnia, Glicerynownia, Kotłownia, Pudełkarnia, Budynek Elektryka.

We would like to thank everyone who took part in the voting!

INSPIRE in Dolina Trzech Stawów in Katowice is our first project in which residents will be able to fully breathe clean air in their own interiors. As shown by analyzes and research, the air we breathe indoors is often more polluted than the air outdoors.

However, the residents of INSPIRE do not have to worry about this – each buyer of a flat in the recently completed INSPIRE stage I (building A, B – a total of 110 apartments and 1 service unit) receives a professional VIESSMANN air purifier from OKAM along with the receipt of the premises.

The air quality in apartments is influenced not only by external pollution, but also by factors such as chemicals, improperly functioning ventilation or excess plastic. Especially nowadays, apart from the phenomenon of smog, bacteria and viruses multiplying in the air constitute another, separate threat to the health of people staying in closed rooms.

VIESSMANN purifiers, which are received by buyers of premises in the INSPIRE housing estate, are among the best rated by the medical community.

Apartments for sale in other buildings: C, D.

For years, we have been active in the capital of the Łódź Province, revitalizing post-industrial areas. We are currently developing another, and at the same time the first, residential investment in this city – Strefa PROGRESS . Our other projects include the ŁÓDŹ.WORK office complex and Strefa Piotrkowska 217 cultural and entertainment center, which together with the Strefa PROGRESS will constitute a mixed-use facility.

Strefa PROGRESS will have, among others a green square, a gym or a co-working space, in conjunction with Strefa Piotrkowska 217 – entertainment, culture and gastronomy.

Strefa PROGRESS is more than just apartments. This is a chance to live your own way. Active. Dynamically. Uncompromisingly. And in the very heart of Łódź, between 132 Kościuszki 132 Ave. and 217 Piotrkowska St. Piotrkowska is one of the longest shopping streets in Europe, it is here that all city life goes on. The immediate neighbor of the Strefa PROGRESS is one of the most important cultural and entertainment points on the map of Łódź, our Strefa Piotrkowska 217 Piotrkowska. Future residents will be able to take advantage of a place full of emotions, meetings, the best pubs and artistic initiatives.

It is not without reason that Łódź was included in the list of 25 awarded places “best of the World 2022 National Geographic”.

It is worth being here, housing, working, living, because Strefa PROGRESS also offers numerous amenities for residents – there will be, among others, gym/co-working room, parcel locker or free bike and scooter rental. The space between the individual buildings will, in turn, constitute a relaxation zone with an internal garden.

We participated in a unique event – the premiere of the book “The Cradle of Polish Automotive Industry” by Andrzej Krzysztof Wróblewski, which we have sponsored. The presentation of the journalistic records of the beginnings of the Żerań Automobile Factory operation took place on the premises of the former FSO, at the Automotive Museum, NATIONAL TREASURE. The book was blocked by censorship for many years, and finally got a chance to be published with an introduction by the author’s son – Tomasz Wróblewski and an afterword by Arie Koren, the founder of OKAM. We believe that our future investment in a post-industrial area in Żerań will restore the former splendor of this place.

We invite you to the newly opened OKAM office, which will be responsible for all works related to the implementation of the investment at 88 Jagiellońska St. in Żerań.

Welcome from Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

By the way, you can visit the National Treasury Museum, beautiful cars to see 🙂

Strefa PROGRESS – 276 apartments with commercial premises on the ground floor, in the immediate vicinity of Strefa Piotrkowska 217, at 132 Kościuszki Ave. Construction of the Strefa PROGRESS is to begin this year and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. This is our first residential investment in Łódź, but not the last one. We’re setting up in Łódź 🙂

As part of the investment, 4 buildings with apartments from 25 to 140 sq m, from 1 to 5 rooms will be built. Strefa PROGRESS will also have an underground car park. The project, as part of the revitalization, involves the reconstruction of fragments of historical buildings located in this area. In the past, there was an iron foundry of Józef John, who was a precursor of the metal industry in Łódź.

Strefa PROGRESS will be characterized by a unique location in the center of the capital of the Łódź Province, in the vicinity of the area of ​​restaurants, cafes and artistic events, liked by the city’s residents and visitors. The space between the individual buildings of the residential complex is also to become a relaxation zone with an internal garden with street furniture.

In Strefa PROGRESS, tenants will have at their disposal, among others rental of bicycles, electric vehicles and scooters, gym / co-working, chargers for electric vehicles or sockets for charging mobile devices installed in the benches in the courtyard.

FineTech Construction will be the general contractor who will revitalize historic buildings located closest to the Szwedzka metro station (stage F) in the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment. The company will revitalize 5 historical buildings after the former, among others a cosmetics factory, located in the immediate vicinity of the metro station, at the intersection of Szwedzka and Strzelecka streets.

FineTech Construction is also responsible for BOHEMA for revitalization works on historical buildings in the central part of BOHEMA around the chimney (stage B – Glicerynownia, Kotłownia, Chimney and the area around the chimney).

As part of the contract commissioned by OKAM, the General Contractor will be responsible for the revitalization of 5 buildings named after the cosmetics factory that used to be located here, including the so-called Budynek Produkcyjny, Pudełkarnia, Magazyn Centralny, Wieża and Budynek Elektryka, also known as Rogatka, with a total area of ​​approximately 11,000 sq m. sqm. As part of the work, nearly 200 lofts are to be built, located in 2 and 4-storey buildings with commercial and service premises on the ground floor as well as with a breakthrough / direct passage through the Budynek Produkcyjny to the heart of BOHEMA (square with a chimney).

– The cooperation between OKAM Capital and FineTech Construction has been going on for over 3 years, the more we are pleased with the trust that the investor once again gave us by commissioning the revitalization of the next stage of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga. Stage F is a real challenge for the general contractor, but the experience gained from previous projects, including two carried out for OKAM Capital, allows us to successfully look at the implementation of this project. At FineTech Construction, we make sure that the next generations in the dynamic reality of the 21st century do not lose their sense of their roots and the historical value of the surrounding buildings – similarly in the case of BOHEMA – Strefa Praga, which, thanks in part, to the Warsaw community, gives the soul of old Warsaw closed in space – emphasizes Włodzimierz Bogiel CEO of FineTech Construction.

FineTech Construction construction works will begin in October 2021, and their completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023.

At the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment, FineTech is also responsible for the revitalization of stage B (except Warzelnia), the implementation of which is to be completed in 2022.

October 20 this year AFI Europe purchased all other stages D, E and F (except A, B and C) of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment from OKAM Capital. Functionality and architecture of this unique place on the map of Warsaw will be maintained in accordance with the initial vision and assumptions of the project.

– Everything we set out to start a new history of this important place in Warsaw’s Praga district will be maintained. BOHEMA – Strefa Praga will be run and finalized by us, while maintaining the assumed nature of the entire complex and the intended use of individual buildings, including the revitalization of historic buildings. The place, the vision of which, after consultation with local authorities or the conservator of monuments, was first put on paper, according to the assumptions, will have its own unique atmosphere and atmosphere, combining modernity with history. At BOHEMA it will be simply worth living, working and spending free time with friends or family – says Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital.

The sale of stages D, E and F will not affect the shape and character of the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga complex, which, according to the design, will constitute residential, commercial, office and entertainment and cultural space after completion of construction – combining the past and historical heritage with the present and progress , and creating a new quality of life in this part of Praga. BOHEMA’s “heart”, that is the square around the chimney, will also be implemented in accordance with the design assumptions – there will be restaurants and bars, a cultural section or a zone for families with children – there will therefore be a space for relaxation, social life or playing with children. The planned revitalization of all 13 historic buildings of the former cosmetics factory will be continued.

– AFI Europe very highly appreciates the standard and quality of the BOHEMA project. We appreciate the contribution and commitment of Okam Capital to the construction of a place that will permanently appear on the map of Warsaw as a lifestyle project. The vision of OKAM Capital fits perfectly into the city’s strategy of comprehensive revitalization of this part of the city. The city’s contribution, supported by real investments in infrastructure – the construction of metro lines as well as direct investments in the revitalization of municipal buildings in this part of Praga, is the best proof that this area of ​​Warsaw will become one of the most attractive places to live in the capital in the near future, and well-thought-out vision of the BOHEMA investment – Strefa Praga will bring a cultural and entertainment element and provide unique space for essential services, which will allow the local community to integrate, which will proudly identify itself with the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga project. AFI Europe does not plan to introduce changes to the investment program for this project, thoroughly thought out by Okam Capital, emphasizes Michał Stępień, CEO of AFI Europe Warsaw.

We are glad that together with Okam Capital we can jointly contribute to the revitalization and development of the Old Praga area – adds Sebastian Kieć, CEO of AFI Europe.

Another event in the series: The 4th Concert „Great Artists for Little Patients” took place last Saturday at the Sofitel Hotel at Piłsudski Square.

An unusual atmosphere and a good cause: helping children from the Children’s Memorial Health Institute. We are very happy that for the fourth time, OKAM also had the pleasure of contributing to it.

This time the brilliant Małgorzata Walewska, who charmed with her voice a wonderful audience full of enthusiasm, emotions and extraordinary elegance, the excellent Lech Pressed on the piano and the artistic “5 minutes” of the fantastic Patrycja Piekutowska during the Theme from Schindler’s List, into which she put her whole heart.

CITYFLOW sales office at 9 Redutowa St. in Wola district is already open. PLEASE FEEL INVITED.
In the first stage of the investment, we are planning 334 apartments with an area of from 29 to 193 m2 (in two 8-story buildings), including penthouses on the top floors with terraces also on the roofs.

And another meeting of golf enthusiasts, this time took place in Rajszewo near Warsaw. We couldn’t miss it.

“AAA I will buy the land” – a discussion panel in which we participated allowed for a discussion on:

• Why is it so difficult to buy an attractive plot for development in a country without a land deficit?
• How does the Special Housing Act actually work?
• When will we release agricultural land for construction again? The illusion of protecting state resources or an element of a conscious policy preferring the use of land from the KZN bank?
• Brownfield vs greenfield.

Marcin Michalec will take up the position of the CEO of OKAM Capital and a member of the Management Board in the special purpose vehicles on September 1 this year. He will then take over the duties of the current President of Arie Koren and will be responsible for the overall strategy and development of OKAM Capital in Poland. In turn, Arie Koren, relying on his many years of experience and knowledge, while remaining a member of the OKAM Capital Management Board, will focus on the development of investments in Żerań in Warsaw, which is to repeat the company’s success in Poland.

Marcin Michalec joined the OKAM team in 2017 and so far has been the Sales and Marketing Director. He has been involved in the real estate market for nearly 20 years. As a valued and experienced expert, he will take over the legacy and continue Arie Koren’s vision when it comes to developing OKAM.

– Arie Koren is a great visionary who created OKAM as we know it today – we are an investor who offers customers added value – often non-standard solutions that they will not experience anywhere else. I believe that my experience, knowledge of the market and fresh perspective will contribute to the further dynamic development of the company in Poland. We will work hand in hand with Arie on closely related projects – the next success of OKAM is related to the successful investment in Żerań, in turn this is related to the overall success of our company on the market – emphasizes Marcin Michalec.

– On the wave of success that OKAM has achieved in Poland since its inception 17 years ago, I would like to repeat it in the case of our largest investment, and at the same time one of the largest on the real estate market, i.e. in the post-industrial area in Żerań, which we have just finalized. This is a huge challenge – the entire preparation and coordination of the project, and then its implementation will take several years to come. Therefore, I will want to translate all my strength, competences and vision into the success of this undertaking – emphasizes Arie Koren.

OKAM recently purchased factory land in Warsaw’s Żerań with an area of ​​62 ha. It was one of the largest transactions of this type on the real estate market, not only in the capital, but also throughout Poland

Another space in ŁÓDŹ.WORK, this time 1,350 sq m was rented. The contract was concluded for 5 years. Almost 40 percent of the facility is already occupied. space, and contracts with other companies are being negotiated.
Office and service space ŁÓDŹ.WORK is located at 18 Dowborczyków St., in the post-industrial area (the former factory of Teodor Meyerhoff). The tenants’ employees have at their disposal, among others TWIZY’s eco-vehicles, bicycles and electric scooters. When the facility is completely full, it is planned to prepare space for food trucks, which they will also be able to use.

– We are extremely pleased that another tenant will move to ŁÓDŹ.WORK. We are convinced that the attractive location, developed local infrastructure and the unique character of this place, combining industrialism with a modern form, will be satisfactory for the people who will work there. At the same time, in order to meet the expectations of various customers, we are introducing an even more flexible offer that perfectly meets the needs of smaller companies and organizations – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

In addition to typical office spaces, it was also introduced the option of offices in the “all-inclusive” formula, which is addressed primarily to small companies, start-ups or project groups selected for specific implementation on behalf of large enterprises. Such tenants can take advantage of a flexible offer with the use of adapted space within 2.5 months. As part of the package, tenants are offered an annual contract and they can choose from four offices ranging in size from 9-14 sq m, nine rooms with approx. 20 sq m, two offices of 30 sq m and two – 40 sq m. The “all-inclusive” offer also includes the possibility of free use, among others, with 10 sq m of conference room, wifi, telephone booths and mini-warehouses (5 sq m each), as well as a kitchen equipped with the necessary equipment.

The first tenant in ŁÓDŹ.WORK is PKP Energetyka, which has leased approximately 400 sq m of office space for 5 years. OKAM is in talks with other companies and organizations interested in leasing space in the facility.

We like physical activity. We could not deny ourselves our presence at the Sand Valley golf course in Pasłęk last weekend.

We still have 2 more tournaments 4-5/09 in Warsaw and 18-19/09 in Wrocław ahead of us 🙂

We have just finalized the purchase of factory land with an area of ​​62 ha, located in Warsaw’s Żerań.

– When we bought a site that was once used for car production, we made one of the largest acquisitions of this type on the market in just one transaction. Undoubtedly, the scale of the investment will be huge and the preparation itself will take several years, and the multi-stage implementation will cover a dozen or so of the next. This is another challenge that we will face at OKAM. In the near term, we plan to take steps to make this place more attractive for current and future tenants and to provide them with the possibility of continuing their activities. It is very important for us to leave the character of this extraordinary place so important in the history of the Polish automotive industry, therefore the investment will be carried out by us respecting the past and will be preceded by consultations with interested parties. – points out Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

This is not the first project of this type that combines modernity and the future with the historical past. We have extensive experience in the revitalization of post-industrial areas. Among them is the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga, carried out in the Praga-Północ district of Warsaw, in the area of, among others, the former Pollena-Beauty factory. We also plan to implement a project on the plots of the former Danone factory. In turn, in Łódź, we have completed the ŁÓDŹ.WORK investment (the site of the former Teodor Meyerhoff factory), as well as Strefa Piotrkowska 217, where the Józef John iron foundry was once located.

Our investment in Żerań will be among the largest projects of this type in Warsaw, next to, for example, Miasteczko Wilanów, where, however, contrary to the OKAM investment, projects were implemented by several or a dozen developers. Thanks to this, we will be able to fully make this space more attractive and create a place where current tenants with whom we want to continue long-term cooperation and future customers will be able to feel safe and fully benefit from the potential of this place, especially in such an excellent location. Already today, the area has direct access to the S8 route, full public transport (trams, buses, railway line) as well as bicycle paths. In the future, the construction of an underground station is also planned in close proximity.

We have finalized the purchase of an office building located at 9 Redutowa St. in Wola district. It covers an area of ​​over 5,400 sq m, and the area on which it is located is over 5,600 sq m. The office building is adjacent to the plot of land that we purchased in autumn 2020, intended for a residential investment. The newly acquired facility and the surrounding area will complement the housing estate.

– Purchase of an office building directly adjacent to the plot at 9 Redutowa St., which we acquired in 2020, will be an important element of our planned investment in this part of Wola. Thanks to this, we will be able to comprehensively influence the landscape of this location, bearing in mind our modern and qualitative approach to implemented projects, taking into account the surrounding parks and well-developed infrastructure in this part of the city. The office building will complement the residential investment located at the back of this building, the implementation of which we are planning to start at any moment. We want everyone who decides to live here to feel special and feel that they have found their place, especially in such beautiful surroundings. The location in this part of Wola is obliging – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

In 2020, we purchased at 9 Redutowa St., a plot of 3.86 ha. We plan to build 4 buildings with over 700 apartments in this area. The project will be built among the surrounding greenery of the directly neighboring Powstańców Warszawy Park. The residential buildings will be kept in a modern style, and there will be plenty of biologically active space around them. We intend to allocate about 40 percent. (approx. 1.4 ha) of the plot for green and recreational areas. Completion of all stages of the investment is planned for 2025.

We hope that our OKAM trees: 35 pcs. Will grow beautifully in the Praga Park.

See post about this event on Facebook.

The historic Praga Park adorns Praga-Północ, it is already old, so he needed a bit of care to look beautiful again and to make the residents spend more pleasant moments there.

As many as 35 new trees from OKAM have appeared: birches, lindens, oaks and maples, all equipped with irrigation bags that will ensure the right water level.

Be sure to check it out and see how beautiful they are growing.

Construction works on the 2nd stage of INSPIRE (building C) in Katowice have just started. The General Contractor is again Grimbud, which also implements the 1st stage of INSPIRE (buildings A and B). The planned completion date of the 2nd stage of INSPIRE is scheduled for next year (4th quarter)!

INSPIRE is a residential investment in Dolina Trzech Stawów in Katowice, which already at the pre-sale stage enjoyed enormous customer interest. Building C, which will be built in the currently implemented stage, is intimate and will have only 60 apartments with an area of ​​28 to 140 m2, including penthouses on the top floor.

– The second stage provides for the construction of building C, which is located closest to the waterline. The entire architecture of the building is based on the “life balance” philosophy: it is a place to live, not just to live. Comfort, high aesthetic values ​​as well as excellent quality and functionality are what defines this small, numbering about 4 thousand square meters building, which has been integrated into nearly 2 thousand. square meters of green plot. It is worth noting that the penthouses will have two-level terraces. Thanks to the glass balustrade on the upper floor, it will be possible to admire the views without any disturbance. It is also possible to install a jacuzzi on the terrace. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

– This is not our first cooperation. We know that for the investor, which is OKAM, high quality and timeliness are important. Thanks to an experienced team of specialists who are well-versed in the latest trends in construction, we can guarantee this quality. We have a Quality Management System Certificate. We use modern technologies, we use only proven means and building materials, thanks to which the facilities we have realized are appreciated by investors and residents, not only for visual but also functional reasons. – says Ryszard Maciak, President of the Management Board of Grimbud.

From today, the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga sales office has been operating at a new address, 30 / U5 Szwedzka St. in a newly built apartment building: H. Please feel invited.

We have just signed a contract with the first lease, PKP Energetyka, for approx. 400 sq m. office space in ŁÓDŹ.WORK at 18 Dowborczyków in Łódź.

– We have signed a contract for 5 years and we are moving in at the turn of September and October this year. The choice of this office was due to its convenient location and building: modern, friendly, with an amazing atmosphere. Arrangement flexibility is also very important to us, i.e. the ability to adapt the office to our needs. ŁÓDŹ.WORK also offers interesting amenities for employees who will have access to Twizy eco-vehicles, bicycles and scooters. – says Mariusz Pietrzak, President of CUW, PKP Energetyka.

OKAM is currently negotiating the lease of further offices with a total area of ​​several thousand square meters with clients representing the IT, game, e-commerce, legal industries as well as local governments and government administration. – ŁÓDŹ.WORK was built in a perfect location and thus attracts customers. Ease of communication is important for employees and visiting guests. An additional advantage of this place is the original arrangement of the lobby and common spaces of the building: the industrial character of the interior in a modern form. It was supposed to be nice, but also friendly. That is why we made sure that all common spaces were useful. We are flexible to the needs of larger and smaller customers. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

The first run of Dagmara: ULTRA in her life was successful and for such a beautiful, noble purpose.

The idea for such a hard run was born in December 2020, when Dagmara fell ill with COVID and thought that as soon as she recovered, she would do something for others.

And she invented: Butcher’s Run 83 km in the Bieszczady Mountains (total height difference over 4,000 m), start at 3:00 am, end at 12:00 p.m. at night. She managed to.

It wasn’t just a run, this run had a purpose. The goal was to help.
We can walk, we can run, we can make dreams come true! But not everyone is like that. Some Women need support from us! This is the case of Kasia.
We collected for the pram, we collected for a trial prosthesis, and now Kasia needs a target prosthesis!

We can still help. We have 2 days left:
https://zrzutka.pl/w27t2d

We are proud of Dagmara and the fact that she is part of OKAM ????

Construction works on building “C” at INSPIRE in Dolina Trzech Stawów in Katowice will begin soon. This is the most prestigious part of INSPIRE: located closest to the pond, with a beautiful, direct view of the water.

The interest in the investment has been very high for many months. On the first day of pre-sale of building “C”, over 100 people signed up for the waiting list, of which over 30 signed reservation agreements. This means that in just one week, more than 50% of apartments were sold. Currently, more than 70% of the total is sold. Customers appreciate the unusual location, development of the space around the buildings, as well as the quality of workmanship of this award-winning investment. In buildings “A” and “B”, the completion of which is planned for the end of this year, over 90% of apartments have already been sold.

– Building “C” in INSPIRE is an unusual combination: the energy of a large city with the tranquility that comes from nature. This is a new quality of life. We emphasized the uniqueness of the building by designing penthouses on the top floor with two-level terraces with a total area of ​​over 300 sq m, which future owners will be able to arrange into private gardens. A dream of many people to rest in such a space, several floors above the ground, can come true today. The building is situated in such a way that it has a view of the water from three sides. Thanks to this, the other apartments also have a beautiful view – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

Building “C” will be erected on a plot of nearly 1,900 sq m. It will have an intimate character, as there will be only 61 apartments on 9 floors. The two-storey car park can accommodate 80 cars.

The commencement of works is planned in the second quarter of 2021 and completion in the first quarter of 2023.

Anytime now at BOHEMA – Strefa Praga (www.bohemapraga.pl) at 30 Szwedzka street (in stage I of the residential part), a nursery for kids will be opened, created for the youngest in line with the values ​​promoted by Jesper Juul and Montessori pedagogy: KIDS FIRST.

This is the second branch of the brand to extend its offer with workshops and thematic seminars for parents and young people after the success of the first place. The nursery is being established under the patronage of the International Organization Family Lab, operating on the basis of the value of Jesper Juul, and its creator is the Family Lab trainer, Katarzyna Szulc, who invites you to cooperate today.

He believes that at this time, more than ever, family support is the most important thing we can give them. After the trends of authoritarian education and then stress-free education, where none of them did not work out, time for motherhood based on relationships, authenticity and equal dignity of adults and children.

The human development period between 0-3 years is the most important time in building the foundations for respect for human integrity, building self-esteem and preparing to enter into healthy and valuable relationships, and this is what he focuses his work on. Being part of the BOHEMA family, he sees its enormous potential for spreading this ideology. It is inhabited by many young families with young children. The proposed approach will have fertile ground here. Together with BOHEMA – Strefa Praga, the KIDS FIRST brand plans to change the face of Praga by touching the foundations of: FAMILY.

The contract with FineTech Construction for further revitalization of the historical buildings of BOHEMA has been signed. This is a continuation of cooperation because for a year and a half, works have been carried out in the historical part around the chimney and on the side of Szwedzka Street.

Revitalization works include Glicerynownia and Kotłownia buildings as well as the space around the chimney. By the 4th quarter of 2021, approx. 3,500 sq m of service, commercial and office space and approx. 3,200 sq m of land development around the chimney will be restored. The entire part will be dedicated to services, trade, offices, social activities and social life. The assumption of OKAM is that the space around the chimney should be available not only to BOHEMA residents but also to be open to all Warsaw residents.

The historical part of among others The Pollena cosmetics plant on Szwedzka Street is changing its face: it will transform from post-industrial areas into a vibrant service, retail and office complex with space for social and cultural activities. The works are carried out under the supervision of the Masovian Voivodeship Monument Conservator. While renovating historic buildings, OKAM maintains their external, historical appearance and character. – We take care of many little things because they create the atmosphere. Also in the interior, we keep and restore “old” elements. This applies, among others, to brick barrel ceilings or the wooden structure of the roof truss. An additional element that builds the post-industrial character of BOHEMA will be the boilers operating in the complex until recently, which are witnesses to the various history of this place. Made in 1935 in the Gdańsk Shipyard, they will be included in BOHEMA as elements of architecture. They will decorate an important place with us, incl. space around the chimney, which for me is the heart of BOHEMA – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

Revitalization is always a complex process. OKAM’s goal is to restore historic and, unfortunately, in many places destroyed buildings to their former glory and to adapt them to modern functions and standards. And this place in the center of BOHEMA will be a meeting place, social life with bars, restaurants and services. OKAM wants to revitalize the entire space in accordance with the atmosphere and history of this place, and in line with the guidelines of the Masovian Voivodeship Monument Conservator.

In our daily work, we make sure that the next generations in the dynamic reality of the 21st century do not lose their sense of their roots and the historical value of the surrounding buildings. That is why BOHEMA – Strefa Praga has a special place among our projects. The next stage of the investment gives us the opportunity to restore the local community to its historical memory. Thanks to the combination of knowledge and passion, but also the experience of our professional team of engineers, together with OKAM, we not only create the new center of Warsaw’s Praga, but also give the whole Warsaw community the soul of old Warsaw closed in BOHEMA – says the president of FineTech Construction Włodzimierz Bogiel.

Historical buildings around the chimney are not only the Glicerynownia and Kotłownia. Design works are already underway on the Warzelnia building, in which OKAM plans to build approx. 60 apartments in a loft-style atmosphere, the character of which will correspond to industrial-style service and commercial premises, which will be located on the ground floor of the Warzelnia. They will be adapted to activities such as cafes, restaurants, bars or small services. These spaces will have direct entrances from Szwedzka Street and will be well connected with other historical buildings around the chimney. The height and shape of the Warzelnia will remain unchanged.

In relation to the original plans, only its interior will be redesigned, which will also change its purpose into a residential function. The building will be completed with a unique internal courtyard.

The decision to change the originally planned commercial space in Warzelnia was made following the changing economic and social situation over the last year and in line with the current needs and market conditions.

Along with the revitalization of the historical part, the second stage of the residential part is being built in parallel, the General Contractor of which is UNIBEP and whose work began in the 4th quarter of 2020

The historic buildings around the chimney will be completed in the 4th quarter of 2021, and the second stage of the residential part in the 4th quarter of 2022.

Another summary of the quarter is behind us and another award for INSPIRE project. INSPIRE once again took 1st place in the ranking of the best investments on the Silesian market, this time in the 4th quarter of 2020 according to Rynekpierwotny.pl (the best real estate portal on the market and among clients looking for apartments).
We like to end the year in such a way and enter a new one with such nice information 🙂

On the occasion of Santa Claus day on December 6, small residents of ŻOLI ŻOLI have received today such a gift from OKAM: kid’s zone.
This is another premises handed over to residents under the New Quality Policy created by OKAM, following the fitness and BMW bike rental in MOKKA, as well as the resident’s premises and BMW bike rental in VISTA.
We hope that the youngest residents/kids of ŻOLI ŻOLI will have a nice FUN there 🙂

Construction works related to the implementation of the next residential buildings included in stage II of the BOHEMA residential part have started. OKAM has already signed a contract with the General Contractor, UNIBEP, for the performance of construction works. This is a continuation of cooperation because UNIBEP was also the contractor of stage I, completed and put into use in mid-2020.

Up to 3 completed residential buildings (stage I) located at 30 Szwedzka will be joined by another 4 buildings with 264 apartments. Flats of various sizes from 30 sq m to 110 sq m will be built in six- and seven-storey buildings.

Stage II of the project, like stage I, enjoys great interest and turned out to be a great commercial success. Currently, as at the start of construction works, over 70% of the apartments have already been sold as part of the pre-sale. There are still areas from 44 sq m.

The completion date of stage II construction works is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2022.
 As in stage I, the new residential and office buildings included in the multi-stage complex will be given names that emphasize the connection of this place with history. The names for the new residential buildings will complement the original names of the existing historic buildings, e.g. Warzelnia, Kotłownia, Glicerynownia or Pudełkarnia, which the investor, OKAM, decided to keep and not to change.

The shell of building B has already been completed.
Stage I (building A and B) comprises a total of 112 apartments with an area of from 29 to 125 m².
You can still find your dream apartment at this stage because we still have approx. 30 apartments for sale.

WE INVITE YOU AND HOPE TO SEE YOU.

OKAM has just signed a contract with FineTech Construction for the construction of the CENTRAL HOUSE residential investment at Domaniewska street in Warsaw.

The agreement provides that a building with a total area of ​​51,560 sq m will be built on a plot of 10,213 sq m with 474 apartments (in two stages) on 9 floors and 540 parking spaces in a 2-level underground garage, as well as parking spaces for guests on the ground floor, outside. Construction works have just started and the completion of the entire project is planned for the fourth quarter of 2022.

– CENTRAL HOUSE is an expression of an innovative approach to housing on the Polish market and the first project that we implement under the New Quality Policy. In the heart of the Mokotów business district, a well-thought-out project will be created using high-quality building materials and pro-ecological solutions that will be introduced as standard, e.g. electric vehicle and bicycle rental for the exclusive use of residents, air purifiers in each apartment, solar panels, car charging points, etc. We also take care of the space to relax, therefore we have planned the resident’s premises with a meeting space, fitness room and sauna, an internal green patio in two versions (for children and for adults), and a public terrace approx. 220 sq m on the roof of the building. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

The comfort of the apartment will be guaranteed by bright interiors with high, 2-meter windows. An additional convenience will be great flexibility in the design of the living space and the possibility of separating an additional room. Some of the premises will also have roof terraces.

The convenience of living in CENTRAL HOUSE will also be created by the surrounding shops, restaurants and small service points that are part of the perfectly functioning urban infrastructure of Mokotów.

Stage II of INSPIRE has just gone on sale and is very popular with customers. On the first day of pre-sale of stage II (building C) over 100 people signed up for the so-called “waiting list”, of which over 30 have already signed reservation agreements. This means that in just one week we sold over 50 percent of apartments available in building C, which will include 61 flats.

In stage I of the investment (buildings A and B), which is currently under construction, 70 percent of available housing. There are still about 30 apartments on sale. Ultimately, the INSPIRE project involves 7 eight-story buildings with 450 apartments.

– INSPIRE project is being developed under the New Quality Policy of OKAM. Life inspires us! A good life in an inspiring and beautiful place. The apartments will include, among others air purifiers, and an electric vehicle will be made available to the community. There will be parcel machines, bike rentals and bicycle service. We care about the environment: we illuminate common areas with solar energy obtained by solar panels. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

The architectural concept deserves attention.
INSPIRE is a place that is meant to inspire and goes beyond the concept of “four walls”. In addition to apartments, there will be places encouraging to spend time in an interesting way. There will be a resident zone with a fitness room, a games room with table football and billiards.

At approx. 4.7 thousand sq m of the plot, there will be a thoughtfully designed greenery surrounding residential buildings, as well as a green zone for common recreation of residents with integrated small architecture, ideal for spending free time and playing, also for the youngest.

The planned completion date for stage I (buildings A and B) is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021 and stage II (building C) for the fourth quarter of 2022.

OKAM is investing in another plot of land in Katowice, this time in the immediate vicinity of the Katowicki Park Leśny.
Ultimately, 700 apartments will be completed and the project is scheduled to start in 2021.

We have been shining green since yesterday: #17milionów
ŁÓDŹ.WORK is here, and you?
Let’s not be indifferent.

First place once again.
INSPIRE in Dolina Trzy Stawy is the best investment in Katowice according to the RynekPierwotny.pl ranking.

On September 21, 2020, OKAM finalized the purchase of a plot in Warsaw’s Wola district at 9 Redutowa Street.

On a plot of 3.86 ha, construction of stage I will start in 2021. Ultimately, 4 buildings with approx. 740 apartments will be built. In the first stage, 150 apartments will be available. The nine-storey buildings will be kept in a modern style, all immersed in the surrounding greenery of the directly adjacent Powstańców Warszawy Park.
There will also be a biologically active area in the estate, as OKAM intends to allocate approx. 40% (which is approx. 1.4 ha) of the plot area for green / recreational areas for use by future residents.

– This is our next investment in Warsaw, the second in Wola. This district is developing dynamically today. It is well connected and guarantees the comfort of living, that is why we are happy to come back here. The investment will also be built in accordance with the standards of the New Quality Policy of OKAM, like other investments currently underway. We plan to start the construction of stage I next year and finish it in 2023. Ultimately, the entire investment will be completed in 2025. I am convinced that this is another step towards the development of OKAM – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.

9th edition of charity Poland Business Run is behind us. The relay race was taken in different formula, in which participants could create own virtual rivalisation with 18 different types of runners and represent of OKAM was also there.

Thanks to the commitment of all people who took part in the relay race, at least 55 people with motor disabilities will receive assistance: 11 prostheses of limbs, 4 active prams and 45 rehabilitation camps will be subsidized.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Mixed-use objects – why is it so difficult and not for everyone?

Multifunctional investments are popping up in large cities like mushrooms, although a few years ago they were considered too difficult and unpredictable in terms of business.

Their renaissance is certainly caused by the difficult situation on the land market, but is it only?
A plot with historic buildings, or how to combine fire with water?
How do you choose the right mix of functions to keep the balance?
Is mixed-use a tasty morsel for investors?

We tried to answer these and other questions during the discussion panel at the Sheraton Hotel in Sopot on 08/24/2020.

Such sunbathing took place in the Piotrkowska 217 Zone.
In total, the zone was visited by approx. 3,000 people. We hosted 20 gastronomic stands and food trucks with various cuisines of the world.

he festival featured for the first time: Yaday – a food truck inspired by Israeli, Arabic and Jewish cuisine; Cactus – Bydgoszcz food truck with the flavors of Mexico, Świnka Wołowinka with meat kofts and pulled pork, and Mniam Mniam Slow Food, i.e. a burger trailer from Częstochowa.

Apart from the novelties, there were also our regulars, namely: Frytki Factory, Burgers from Gastromachina, Jacek Burger and Roni Food, casseroles from Gastrofather, churros from Churros Amigos, Original Chinese dumplings and Masitta Korea Food with Korean cuisine.

Dessert could be chosen among donuts from Mini Donuts King, cakes from Zakręcony Ciach and cakes from Kuroneko Brownie. The Street Food Festival also featured exhibitors with a wide range of craft breweries, including Browar Skrzat, Piwo z Żuka and Kraft Klub. For lovers of summer refreshment, lemonades from Naturalnie Tak and ginger drinks from Imbeer were served.

DJ Fogot, who played on Friday and Saturday nights, took care of the musical setting of the festival. Additionally, the participants of the Street Food Festival could relax in two beach zones with deckchairs.

Next edition: 2-4 October.

Full coverage of the event: see here!

We are starting handing over of apartments: 303 apartments in 3 buildings (stage I of the residential part).

The original and unique character of the apartments has been emphasized by the nomenclature that refers to the history of this place.

Future residents of stage I and Warsaw residents taking part in the survey organized by OKAM decided that the three new residential buildings will be called: POEMAT, CONSUL and PARYS. All names are brands of products manufactured in the past at the factory located on Szwedzka Street: POEMAT and CONSUL are toilet waters, and PARYS is cologne. The names for the new buildings will complement the original names of the existing historic buildings, e.g. Warzelnia, Kotłownia, Glicerynownia or Pudełkarnia, which OKAM decided to leave and not change.

We wish all future residents only beautiful moments, satisfaction and self-realization while arranging these unique interiors.

Thank you also for your understanding and patience while awaiting a valid permission to use.

Once again, our INSPIRE project received the award in the category: Best investment in Katowice. This time, place 2 in the II 2020 quarter.

The award was granted by the website: www.rynekpierwotny.pl

We are very happy. It’s nice to start the week like that ????

A subsidiary company of the OKAM Group responsible for the implementation of the Bohema – Strefa Praga investment, has completed negotiations lasting several months with the Warsaw City Road Authority on the renovation and reconstruction of Szwedzka Street.

The comprehensive renovation and reconstruction of Szwedzka Street will cover the entire section bordering the BOHEMA investment area. In total, over 550 m of running street will undergo reconstruction, which will include: replacement of pavement, reconstruction of pavements, replacement of street lighting and new traffic lights at the intersection of Szwedzka and Strzelecka streets (next to Szwedzka metro station). Street on this section will also receive new signs and a new traffic organization. The reconstruction of the street will significantly improve the comfort of using Szwedzka Street and will provide future residents with security and trouble-free access to the investment site.

The first residents will be able to move very soon into the first 3 residential buildings included in the first stage of the BOHEMA residential part – 303 apartments in total. OKAM is also preparing to start the implementation of stage II of the residential part, which will include 4 buildings: 264 apartments. – We hope that our future residents will be able to comfortably and safely move along Szwedzka Street. As a developer, we strive to start the implementation of the next stage as soon as possible. Official procedures and obtaining all permits, however, require a lot of time, but the negotiations with the City Road Authority just completed after almost a year are a huge milestone towards the start of the construction of the next stage of BOHEMA. – says Arie Koren CEO, OKAM Capital.

Come, watch, rent! Already today, future tenants of ŁÓDŹ.WORK can feel the atmosphere of the arranged office space in our show-room.

OKAM Global Commercial, a new company dedicated to commercial real estate created by the developer of housing investments OKAM Capital, entrusted the international consulting company Savills with the management of a newly purchased office building at 16 Lindleya St. in Warsaw.

The total area of ​​the property, which will be taken care of by Savills, is approximately 4,855 sq m. The facility offers office modules from 13 to 2,800 sq m with the possibility of their flexible connection depending on the needs of the tenant. The building is distinguished by an excellent location in the center of Warsaw, next to Starynkiewicza Square and Central Station.

In addition to the building at 16 Lindleya St. in Warsaw, OKAM Global Commercial is also responsible for the Łódź.Work office investment in Łódź. The company also offers offices and commercial and service premises in the BOHEMA multifunctional project in Warsaw, as well as commercial and service premises on the ground floors of housing investments in Warsaw and Katowice as well as in Piotrkowska 217 zone in Łódź.

OKAM Group has grown: a new brand OKAM Global Commercial has been created, which has just completed the transaction of purchasing the office building at 16 Lindleya in Warsaw.

OKAM Global Commercial
In addition to operating in the residential sector, the OKAM Group has also been operating on the commercial market for several years: it has office and retail properties in Łódź and in Warsaw. Now, however, OKAM has established a new company, OKAM Global Commercial, which is an expression of OKAM’s new strategy in relation to commercial real estate.
– For some time, we have been seeing tenants’ concerns about signing very long contracts. Today, uncertainty in the economy is even greater. The coronavirus epidemic has already caused tremendous changes in the market, and this is only the beginning. We try to respond quickly to the needs of tenants. And hence our idea: the possibility of short-term office rent in available premises in a newly purchased office building in the center of Warsaw at 16 Lindleya street. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM. – Our goal is to help tenants survive this difficult crisis moment. The strong points of this investment are attractive offices with a flexible rental length offer, as well as the opportunity to move in immediately.
The new company OKAM Global Commercial has an offer of office space for rent also in Łódź at 18 Dowborczyków street, and it is a ŁÓDŹ.WORK investment. The renovated historic buildings have 5,000 sq m of modern office space. Tenants will be able to move in from June 2020, and the flexible contract provides for the possibility of renting space in the basic standard even for 6 months.

Offices at 16 Lindleya street in Warsaw
It will look similar in the capital, where OKAM Global Commercial offers office space in a newly purchased building in the very center at 16 Lindleya. This location is extremely well connected, close to trams, buses, the subway and Central Station. Around there are many service and catering points and commercial. Thanks to the so-called OKAM Global Commercial office layout offers modules from 13 sq m, with the possibility of renting from 1 month. The offer also includes larger spaces, up to 2,800 sq m. The modules can be easily divided and combined, which means that companies can easily adapt the space to their needs and pace of development, e.g. start-ups can use a furnished office. Together with the office, tenants can rent a parking space and a room for an archive or magazine. The building has a reception and 24-hour security. The building is an interesting and competitive offer in this location. This is an interesting offer for entities that do not want or cannot wait and are looking for an office where one can work “already”.

Q&A: Olga Duda, Leasing Manager, OKAM Global Commercial:

New brand and new real estate in the OKAM group, now that the crisis is knocking on our door?
Opportunity is hidden in every crisis. We have been working on establishing a new company that will manage our commercial properties for a long time. We have more and more office, service and commercial space. It was a natural step. The strategy that the company will implement was built based on the needs of customers. We observe that companies are quite reluctant to decide to rent office space for several years. This, of course, results from the fear of taking on such a large and long commitment. But also because of the fact that today companies are changing rapidly and some want to be able to increase their office space every year or one and a half. These are the expectations of customers. That is why we came up with a “flex” agreement that is flexible to the clients’ needs. And finalizing the purchase of a new office investment is a great moment to launch a new brand.

What is the new OKAM Global Commercial strategy?
The unusual market situation required us to make decisions that would allow us on interest in our offer of new customers, and at the same time will enable continuing cooperation with current tenants. Our clients in times of uncertainty need stability, but also flexible solutions. And we have exactly that: a stable partner, proven over the years, which is OKAM and a contract that adapts to the needs. Our offer is mainly addressed to small and medium-sized companies.

Where will the new strategy be implemented? In all OKAM Global Commercial properties?
For today in two investments included in the OKAM Global Commercial portfolio. We are talking here about the historical and climatic surfaces of the ŁÓDŹ.WORK project at 18 Dowborczyków street. The building offers almost 5,000 sq m of modern office space, which will be available to customers in June 2020. It will look similar in Warsaw, where we offer office space at 16 Lindleya street, where available in the range 13-2.800 sq m.

What other amenities for tenants are planned in addition to short contracts?
All office space will be prepared so that the tenant can start using it without additional expenditure. This so-called basic standard. There is also the possibility of additional amenities in accordance with the individual company profile. We are also flexible in this dimension. It guarantees professional service and flexibility to everyone. For ease of communication we have prepared transparent and short lease agreements with our clients. Everyone who has rented an office knows that contract matters are essential, and sometimes it is difficult to get through dozens of pages.

Our INSPIRE project has been honored again by clients/users of the RynekPierwotny.pl portal (the most popular real estate portal on the market).

INSPIRE took 3rd place in the Best Investment Ranking in Katowice in the first quarter of 2020.

We are very happy and feel honored. Thank you 🙂

The names that were chosen by future residents of BOHEMA are the names of the products, namely toilet / cologne waters produced in POLLENA-URODA:
– Bud. G – PARYS
– Bud. K – POEMAT
– Bud. H – CONSUL

We would like to thank everyone who was involved in the vote. Thank you for all comments and suggestions.

We are also glad that the idea of using the names of products manufactured in factories located in the BOHEMA area for new residential buildings in the past, you liked it so much.

And all in the company of lectures, workshops and presentations of famous people from the work market.
SEE YOU this Monday.

During the next edition of 4 Design Days OKAM took part in the panel: “Silesia – A region with a living atmpsphere”. During the discussion, we tried to answer, among others for questions:

– How and where do people want to live in Upper Silesia?
– Residential developers are building boldly and on an increasing scale in the region. What is the potential of the housing market in this part of Poland?
– Hot locations – where developers see the greatest potential?
– One region – many possibilities – developers surprise with a diverse offer. Land availability and city housing policy versus developer’s plans?

But it is not everything. In January 2020, we sold the last apartment in Dom w Dolinie Trzech Stawów and during the 4 Design Days just after the discussion panel we received the Award for Dom w Dolinie Trzech Stawów for taking the first place in the “Family Friendly Estate” category. Beautiful icing on the cake at the end of stage III sales and closing the entire investment. Congratulations to everyone involved in this project. Bravo!

Today, in addition to presenting BOHEMA’s presentation at 4 Design Days in Katowice, we also received a statuette and thanks from biegamyzsercem.pl foundation, who on behalf of Jurek Owsiak appreciated OKAM and INSPIRE for supporting the 28th finale of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. We are very happy that we could be part of this initiative.

Yesterday we took part in the next edition of 4 Design Days in Katowice. BOHEMA was presented as an example of mixed-use development in a presentation on the topic: “Using existing post-industrial areas for mixed-use development in the context of a lack of investment areas.”

In cooperation with the biegamyzsercem.pl foundation, we managed to collect a total of PLN 101,146.25 for the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity (WOŚP) as part of normal and virtual running.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the virtual race, which OKAM and INSPIRE had the pleasure to support 🙂

Children from the Care and Education Center “Wzrastanie” in Katowice send us greetings from winter holiday in Zieleniec (www.zieleniec.pl) 🙂

A group of 38 people went on active holidays thanks to Mr. Dariusz Sobczak, who rode Iceland on a bicycle and sponsors RENAULT Pietrzak and OKAM together with INSPIRE. Everything happened also thanks to the cooperation with foundation biegamyzsercem.pl

On the way to Zieleniec, children visited the Osówka Complex (www.osowka.pl), and on their return trip they are planning a trip to the Gold Mine (www.kopalniazlota.pl)
It’s worth to do it for such moments 🙂

Rynekpierwotny.pl (the leading and the most popular real estate portal) announced the winners of the latest edition of the Investment Ranking organized by the rynekpierwotny.pl portal.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, our INSPIRE investment won in the ranking of the best investments in Katowice.
https://rynekpierwotny.pl/ranking-inwestycji/katowice/ocena-q4-2019/

Podsumowanie 2019 roku nastąpiło jak zwykle z tanecznym przytupem 🙂 OKAM-owa Wigilia to okazja do zabawy, The summary of 2019 was, as usual, with a dance kick 🙂 OKAM’s Christmas Eve is an opportunity to have fun, say thank you, speak, meet new employees …
… and to congratulate to Employees of the Year! Congratulations to the winners of the title 🙂

The foundation operates less than a year and on the wallpaper they already have a dozen or so projects in progress, besides 2 opera concerts in which OKAM oraz CENTRAL HOUSE had the pleasure to participate and all to help children from the Memorial Institute of the Children’s Health Center.

The icing on the cake at the end of this year during the meeting summarizing the foundation’s activities (19/12) was the concert of Patrycja Piekutowska, who led all guests through selected cities around the world.
It was a must for OKAM to be there … what else to add, we were very touched …

Construction site was transferred to General Contractor and the first excavations are behind us. You can come, see and visit the sales office. Apartments from 29 to 123 m2 are still on sale, and almost 40% of apartments are sold.

Christmas is inseparably associated with giving presents. Some buy Christmas gifts before Christmas decorations appear in stores, others recall half of them of December. Buying gifts is not easy.

That is why the Piotrkowska 217 zone in Łódź met the needs by organizing two handicraft festivals: “Winter Fair of Beautiful Things – From Things to Things” on 7-8 / 12 and “Christmas Market” with Good Gifts on 21-22 / 12. Local manufacturers and craftsmen appear among the exhibitors, creating with passion and love. In turn, on December 20 and 21, a mobile sauna will park in P217, working merrily and correctly for Lodzians and for Lodzians from 10:00 a.m to 8:00 p.m.

“Silent Night”, “When Christ is Born”, “When a Pretty Maiden” … these and other carols were recreated by children from Praga and collected in a beautiful album called “Praga Caroling” and all in the extraordinary atmosphere of Praga architecture.

This would not have happened without the initiative and patronage of the Mayor and the Office of the Praga-Północ District, as well as without the cooperation of, among others with the great musician Andrzej Krzywy from the group De Mono and the extraordinary singer Sasha Strunin specializing in jazz recently. It is a joy for OKAM and BOHEMA that we could also participate in it.

Our next project has obtained a valid occupancy permit and is therefore ready to receive its inhabitants.

Congratulations to all who were involved in the implementation of Żola Żoli!

BOHEMA enjoys undiminished interest. During the committee meeting, we had the opportunity to present BOHEMA’s assumptions, functions, tenant-mix, and related solutions with parking and transport, land use planning and marketing plans.

This is not the end, the next meeting will take place on 05/12/2019, during which the Commission will present plans for the revitalization of entire streets in Praga district.

It’s been 15 years! Thank you once again to everyone, without you OKAM would not be here.

Fantastic, phenomenal, amazing and …. just no words. What can we say/write? We were touched and delighted.

There was snow and Christmas atmosphere, and all at the Christmas song written by the Mayor of Praga North Borough. Children from Praga district were also involved, and everything in the scenery of Praga architecture, among others near Szwedzka, Strzelecka, Stalowa streets, etc.

“Zero emission transport is becoming the norm”
“How to prepare office and residential buildings for e-mobility?”
“How do cities encourage residents to switch to electric cars?”
These and other topics were raised during the e-mobility forum in which OKAM took part.

These and other topics were raised during the e-mobility forum in which OKAM took part.E-mobility has already reached critical mass, which is a lot to say, even James Bond now drives EV, Aston Martin Rapide E in a limited edition of 250,000 pounds will appear in the next part of the film.

Once again, OKAM took part in the debate at the headquarters of the Polish Business Roundtable on “Investing in Real Estate”. The topics of the discussion referred to this year’s EXPO Real 2019.

This weekend (26-27/10), BOHEMA sales office will be transformed into a pumpkin ghost room. It will not scare anybody, but we will definitely show a place with a soul: after all, history obliges us.

For two days, from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. we will wait in the sales office with delicious pumpkin soup and display of pumpkin miscellaneous. For all visitors will be also available to our experts who will answer all questions interested in buying or renting premises in BOHEMA.

In addition, you will also be able to watch the performance “Scary Parade”, which will take place at the same time next to the Szwedzka metro station and around Galeria Wileńska. For adults there will be a handful of information about the project waiting for the soul, and for small (and large) children in accordance with tradition sweet treats.

WELCOME!

During the press conference on air pollution organized by PHILIPS, we told why OKAM got involved in the fight against SMOG and research on it, how we fight it, what was the idea of the New Quality Policy and what it assumes, etc.

The topic of the conference is very popular, over 40 journalists took part in it. What more could we say? Our health / life is the most important.

We tried to answer these and other questions during the conference within the Polish Housing Market Forum, which on 22/10/2019 took place in Hilton hotel as part of the topic “Is silence and clean air included in the price of a flat? How do housing developers fight smog and noise emissions? “

– Anti-smog packages – what does it mean and how do they really affect the lives of
  residents? Costs, operation, forecasts.
– Users’ awareness of ecological solutions. Consumer Profile and potential changes on the
  market in the coming years. Expectations of city dwellers.
– Mobility and transport in the context of clean air in housing estates development.

Beautiful ending of the expedition “Cycling through Iceland” and the official handing of a check to the Care and Educational Center “Growing up” for winter holidays in 2020 during the event Birthday of the City of Katowice on 14/09/2019. Thank you Renault PIETRZAK and Mr. Darek Sobczak for the opportunity to support the “Cycling through Iceland” campaign.

On September 3, 2019, OKAM, the inwestor of INSPIRE, signed a contract with the General Contractor, Zakład Budowlano-Montażowy Grimbud Ltd. The contract provides for construction in the first stage two residential buildings.

In the eight-story buildings at 41 Sikorskiego Street, 112 flats will be built in the first stage, varying in size from 29 to 125 m2, as part of which one-room studios, as well as two-, three-, four- and five-room apartments were designed. On the top floor there will be spacious penthouses. All apartments, depending on their size and location, have access to a balcony, loggia, garden or terrace, which area reaches up to 120 m2. The height of the premises is up to 3 meters. A two-level car park will be built in the underground. Storage cells will be available for interested residents.

Residents will have an elegant reception at their disposal. In your free time, you will be able to use the resident’s zone with a fitness room and gym, sauna and entertainment area with table football and billiards. A special, closed room with the function of a bicycle and trolley will be created for active and for families.

On 4,000 m2 of plot there will be greenery surrounding residential buildings. The central part is a unique gorge, the development of which will encourage activity or a peaceful rest in the bosom of nature. Beautifully lit, with integrated benches, it will be an ideal place for meetings and games, also for the youngest residents.

– The INSPIRE project is being developed as part of the New Okam Quality Policy introduced in autumn 2018. This means that we use above-standard facilities for our residents, e.g. air purifiers in every apartment or electric vehicles available to the community. There will be parcel machines, bicycle rental and bicycle service. We also care about our environment: solar energy obtained by solar panels will illuminate the common areas, and we will use rainwater for watering the greenery. Our projects are very popular among clients: great locations and quality, incl. in the use of high-quality materials they defend themselves. We are guided by the philosophy: we are building a place to live, not just buildings. – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM Ltd.

– We are an experienced construction company that has been on the market for twenty-five years. Throughout this period we have successfully completed over 200 projects. Everyone was special to us. We also treat INSPIRE exceptionally. We use the latest technologies at all stages of our activity and focus on proven, high-quality building materials. Many Investors have trusted us and our projects meet with positive feedback from users. We are convinced that this will be the case here: OKAM customers, future residents will receive a high-class product that will meet all expectations and at the same time will be a showcase of our company for years – says Ryszard Maciak, President of the Management Board of Grimbud Ltd.

The planned commencement date of works under stage I is the turn of 2019 and 2020, completion is expected for the fourth quarter of 2021.

The OKAM company cooperates with PRC Architects. The studio will design the company’s latest project: a residential building with commercial premises at 49 Domaniewska Street in Mokotów in Warsaw.

– We’re back to good cooperation. Together with the PRC studio, I worked on the implementation of the Arlet House in Ochota. It’s an interesting project: it enjoys the eye and is functional – says Arie Koren, Okam’s CEO. – In the case of investment at 49 Domaniewska Street, we do not have a ready project yet, and the investment has already attracted interest from customers who ask when we will start selling. This is due to the good location and positive assessment of Okam – Koren adds.

At nearly 12,000 square meters of the plot will be a residential building. – The idea in the heads of our architects has already begun. We have learned the possible conditions of building and investor’s expectations, now it’s time for creation. – says Andrzej Michalik, Partner of PRC Architects. The studio has been operating for over 20 years and has completed a number of investments throughout the country: from office and hotel buildings, through residential projects, to shopping centers and town planning. Its portfolio includes Maraton Gardens estate in Poznań, Miasteczko Orange in Warsaw or the prestigious Mamaison Hotel Le Regina Warsaw project.

Apartments that will be erected on the plot at 49 Domaniewska Street will guarantee the residents calmness in a great location: away from the main street in the vicinity of the Mokotow office and service center. Clients will be able to choose between 26 and 112 sq. m in size.

The project will be presented in the second quarter of 2018. The investor plans to open the sales at the turn of the second and third quarter of 2018.

On 31 January 2018, Bohema obtained a legally valid building permit for the first stage of the residential part.

In the first stage there will be 3 buildings: two intimate 6-storey and one 4-storey. In total, 303 apartments will be built from 27 to 135 m2. These will be new buildings that will refer to existing historical buildings after the former Pollena-Uroda factory. Construction works will start in the first quarter of 2018 and will end in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Bohema as a whole project will provide for a combination of various functions: residential, service, commercial, office, cultural and social. The concept of creating a new living space surrounded by restored buildings is appreciated by customers.

– I must admit that the real interest of customers in this investment surprised me. We have already sold more than 40 % apartments available in the first stage – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO OKAM Capital – This means that every day from the start of sales more than one apartment is sold to customers. It is a clear signal: the residents of Warsaw want to live in places that escape traditional classifications. They want flats with a character in an environment that allows them to lead an active life – adds Koren.

Location of Bohema makes it one of the most attractive investments in Warsaw: it is located directly next to the Szwedzka metro station, which is scheduled to be opened in 2019, at the same time that the first stage of Bohema will be completed. In the neighborhood there are roads, outgoing routes, trams and buses. The Wileński Railway Station is also nearby.

There are also areas for active recreation and peaceful urban walks.

In the immediate vicinity of Bohema, on Strzelecka Street, one of the first Warsaw woonerfs will be built. Under this Dutch word, there is a street where drivers find their cars and pedestrians. A special project assumes that the path leads through the area where trees, benches and even small playgrounds are located in the middle of the road, which force the natural slowdown of the car traffic. The road is on the same level as the sidewalk and bike lane. Such a pioneering solution in the capital will be created for PLN 3.5 million on Środkowa and Strzelecka Streets in Praga district.

The “Namysłowska” Sports and Recreation Center is located within a ten-minute walk. Thanks to the reconstruction of the already existing swimming pool complex, a new, generally accessible urban sports zone will be created for more than 6 ha, and above all a full-sized indoor ice rink, which can be used by skaters in the summer.

Residential prices start at PLN 7,900 to 9,500 / 1 m2.

The sales office at 20 Szwedzka Street invites from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

On February 17 and 18 this year in the center of EXPO XXI in Warsaw (12/14 Prądzyńskiego St.), there will be a Trade Fair of Housing and Apartments, which partner is Okam together with the Bohema project. Okam will present his investments at D2 stand.

Bohema, the latest residential project of Okam, is the Gold Sponsor of the Tracks. Bohema is one of the most interesting housing proposals in Warsaw. These are modern buildings that will be built in the revitalized part of Prague. They are part of a unique concept that combines housing, service, office and cultural and social functions.

 The new buildings thanks to the large brick planes will refer with external architecture to the existing historical buildings after the former Pollena factory. The elevations will also feature steel balustrades, which correspond to the technical elements of the industrial buildings. Inside the common areas, it is planned to use demolition brick from existing development elements and to use architectural concrete in the area of ​​staircases and some walls in the corridors. The post-industrial character of this place will also emphasize balconies and loggias through the severity of finishing materials. Modern and high comfort of living in a unique atmosphere – this is the shortest Bohema summary. 

Okam will also present others Warsaw investments: Żoli Żoli, Vista and Mokka.

Żoli Żoli is an interesting Żoliborz address: not far from Grunwaldzki Square, at Rydygiera St., apartments with various sizes are created: from 27 to 113 m2. They are attractively designed: they have from 1 to 5 rooms. The project distinguishes the height of the apartments. In the entire building A, flats are above standard high and have 3 meters. This creates new arrangement possibilities and even small apartments seem to be more spacious. Apartments on the ground floor have green gardens. All other premises have balconies or loggias, while penthouses have loggias and roof terraces. The apartments are bright and well-lit: large and tall (up to 270 cm) panoramic windows guarantee an adequate amount of daylight. Currently, apartments with areas from 41 to 107 m2 remain on sale. 

The Vista Mokotów apartments are distinguished by a great location. A quiet part of Woronicza St. (near Etiudy Rewolucyjnej St.) is located in the vicinity of vast green and recreational areas, as well as in the neighbourhood of the developed urban infrastructure. Residents will find rest and relaxation in the nearby ‘Pole Mokotowskie’ or more intimate on a green patio accessible only for residents. Nearby schools, shops, a cinema or office center allow you to enjoy the city life and limit travel time. Vista has a legally valid usage permit. Currently, apartments with areas ranging from 55 to 162 m2 are available in this investment.

In Mokka Mokotów at Konstruktorska St., the majority of flats are smaller and medium-sized units – two-room apartments with an area not exceeding 50 m2 and three-room apartments with an area of ​​60 m2. All apartments are characterized by a large “flexibility” and easy redesign, for example, a separate kitchenette with a window or an additional room. Apartments can be modified and adapted to the changing needs of residents. Mokka cares for its residents: a fitness club and a free bicycle rental are at their disposal. The building has a valid usage permit.

We invite you to stand D2, where you can get to know all the projects implemented by Okam in Warsaw. They present different types and possibilities of urban life, but they have one thing in common: high quality and interesting locations.

Vista in Warsaw’s Mokotów, at 33 Woronicza Street has a legally valid occupancy permit. Thus it is ready to welcome residents.

In Vista, we focused on the comfort of residents: high-quality materials, interesting finish of common areas: elegant reception and thoughtful courtyard with small architecture, possibility of charging electric cars, private bike rental, and Resident’s Club – says Arie Koren, CEO OKAM – The building is fully adapted for people with disabilities. This is to be a comfortable home for all residents – Koren concludes.

The Resident’s Club deserves special attention. This is a 70-meter room suitable for spending free time. It is divided into three zones: one with a television, sofas, a popcorn machine, the second with a table for four games: billiards, air hockey, table football and tennis, and the third with a large table with space for 10-12 people. The club has its own kitchen facilities. It is a place to spend time together with neighbors or to organize a private event or a family celebration.

The Vista Mokotów apartments are distinguished by a great location. A quiet part of Woronicza Street (near Etiudy Rewolucyjnej Street) is located in the vicinity of vast green and recreational areas, as well as in the vicinity of the developed urban infrastructure. This location creates comfortable living conditions. Rest and relaxation are guaranteed by the nearby Pole Mokotowskie or a more intimate, green patio accessible only to residents. Nearby schools, shops, a cinema or office center allow you to enjoy the city life and limit travel time.

You can also use the available flats in the range of 55 to 162 square meters, the prices of which start at PLN 7400 per m2.

Vista is not Okam’s only investment in this area. The investor realizes the construction of a residential project called Mokka at 7 Konstruktorska Street. In both investments on 2-3 February 2018 there will be open days during which you can take advantage of interesting promotions and view selected premises. For customers, Okam has prepared an interesting offer: a flat design, a finishing package (implemented by urzadzamypodklucz.pl) or household appliances for free.

2017 was the best year in the history of Okam: a record year in terms of the number of flats sold and the value of sales.

The Bohema project is a unique idea of a new living space in Warsaw. An integral part of it is the residential part.

Apartment buildings are to guarantee the comfort of living in a modern building with all amenities, that is underground parking spaces, elevators, large glazed areas, as well as gardens on the ground floor, balconies, loggias and roof terraces. On the other hand, they will fit into the surroundings and refer to the revitalized factory.

The elevations will also feature steel balustrades, which correspond to the technical elements of the industrial buildings. Inside the common areas, it is planned to use demolition bricks from existing/historical development elements and to use architectural concrete in the area of staircases and some walls in corridors. The post-industrial character of this place will also emphasize balconies and loggias through the severity of finishing materials. Attention should also be paid to the interesting architecture of the internal landscape of the courtyard, where concrete elements of small architecture are intertwined with the designed green, both low and high. All gardens for premises on the ground floor will be located above the main pedestrian route, so as to ensure greater privacy for their users. In addition, a green square is available for residents, where you can go for a short walk.

The revitalized buildings of the 19th century factory will be supplemented with new buildings, and the whole will create an unique zone in which flats, offices, retail and service areas as well as space for cultural and social activities will be created.

Live and work: here!
The project is an unique idea of a new living space in Warsaw. It provides a combination of various functions: residential, service, commercial, office, cultural and social. On the one hand, Bohema is to refer to the environment in which it is created and to be open to it. On the other, it has to complement what is missing in the area, i.e.  modern office space or residential space.

Bohema is a place open to the city, both figuratively and literally. It is open to the urban rhythm of life twenty-four-hour. Open to the city also by its location: great communication, located directly at the Szwedzka metro station, which is planned to open in 2019, at the same time as the first stage of Bohema will be completed. In the neighborhood there are roads, outgoing routes, trams and buses. The Wileński Railway Station is also nearby.

It is an urban space that, in addition to performing these functions, refers to the tradition of urban squares, where social life took place. I am proud that OKAM is an investor and the originator of this project – adds Koren.

In the first stage, there will be buildings in which 303 apartments will be located. Two intimate 6-floors buildings and one 4-floors will give you the comfort of living. Apartments will be between 27 and 135 m2.

The post-industrial atmosphere will be maintained by using bricks on the facades. While living in Bohema, you can take full advantage of the city’s amenities. And if you fancy a trip to the center, it’s only a few minutes by metro … – emphasizes Michalec.

Over 14 500 m2 of commercial space will be waiting for guests and tenants. The unique climate in a post-industrial environment, modern amenities and high quality finish are the important advantages of this place. The central point of Bohema is the square with a chimney. The square is intended for social, cultural and artistic events, and its public space will be used for concerts, performances, cinema, events, etc.

– The area around the chimney was conceived as a place for meetings and relax. The chimney has a chance to become a Prague „rotunda” – older Varsovians remember that the rotunda was a place where everyone was arranging to meet: on dates, meeting friends or going shopping together – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM Group. Bohema is a place that guarantees its residents, tenants and guests all the necessary amenities and the power of cultural and entertainment attractions.

Unique scenery, Prague atmosphere, excellent communication, a large parking lot, a modern hall, outdoor nature, attractions for children – this is how the first public event in Bohema will look like for years. – We hope that the event will attract crowds not only from right-bank Warsaw, but all those who would like to learn about the benefits of living in this part of Warsaw and get to know the offer of Prague. Prague is a perfect place not only for living and business – more and more people spend their free time here, pursue their hobbies and dreams. – emphasizes Jakub Wesołowski – Managing Director of EXPO PROPERTY.

About 35 exhibitors presenting housing, office and commercial projects will take part in the fair.

The company Hochtief Polska will be the general contractor of the third stage of the House in the Three Ponds Valley in Katowice. Operationally, the Krakow branch of the company is responsible for the realization.

In the third stage, as in the previous ones, high quality of building materials will be used for finishing: clinker, wood, aluminum and natural stone. The corridors will be lined with an elegant carpet, which provides additional soundproofing of common areas. The distinguishing feature of the building is the use of large wooden windows.

In mid July, the Okam Group promotional campaign begins – the promotion concerns the purchase of apartments in VISTA and MOKKA’s Warsaw projects. Every customer who buys a flat as part of the campaign will receive a BMW bike.

The campaign “BUY AN APARTMENT AND COLLECT A BMW” is the first joint action of both partners. Okam Group chose the BMW brand as a partner for a reason. Both the BMW product, the BMW CRUISE BIKE and the apartments in VISTA and MOKKA Mokotów are aimed at active people.

– For the BMW brand, an active lifestyle is important, which is why BMW has been the main partner of the Prague Half-marathon for many years – says Łukasz Goździor, Marketing Coordinator at Inchcape Motor Poland. – BMW Cruise Bike combines an interesting and modern design of the third generation frame with functional bicycle geometry. An eye-catching feature of this model is the so-called “Bull’s neck” in the upper part of the frame at the head. The line of this element was borrowed from the style of BMW motorcycles and resembles a fuel tank. Another novelty are invisible welds – smoothed and ground. Links were taken inside the frame. – Łukasz Goździor emphasizes the advantages of the bike.

– VISTA and MOKKA are apartments in the area where there are many green areas, and the network of bicycle paths is really rich and numerous. It is worth taking advantage of such possibilities of active rest or quick transport to work or school in the spring and summer season. – says Marcin Michalec, Sales and Marketing Director at Okam Group. – We’ve been thinking about active residents from the very beginning. In our investments, we have predicted a bike room where you can safely store your equipment and additionally we have prepared private bicycle rentals for our clients. And it is the BMW bikes that will stand in our bicycle stable – adds Michalec.

The action runs from July 18 to September 17, 2017. Everyone is willing to try out the bikes during open days, which will take place at the Vista and Mokka investments on August 4-5, and in September

House in the Three Ponds Valley (Dom w Dolinie Trzech Stawów) in Katowice will be realized  in stage III – it will be the third and final stage of this investment.

Apartments in the House in the Three Ponds Valley are highly appreciated by customers. This is evidenced not only by the completion of commercialization of stages I and II, but also awarded: first place in the Rynek Pierwotny ranking for “The best Investment in Katowice”, “The best Location in Katowice” and second for “The best Architecture in Katowice”, as well as an award of Housemarket Silesia Awards in the “Lofts and Apartments” category. The third stage is also the most awaited: the buildings will be closest to the ponds, and most of the apartments have a view of the water and the park.

In the third stage, 99 apartments will be built and 140 parking spaces in the underground garage. Comfortable flats will be available in a large span: from 27 sq. m to 166 sq. m and on some floors they have an above-standard height, which is 3 meters. Planned rooms are functional, scheduled and give great arrangement options. In the three-room apartments there are planned wardrobes and an additional bathroom next to the bedroom. Through large, wooden windows you can admire the green areas, park and ponds. Most apartments have large balconies and loggias, and from them a beautiful view of the pond and greenery. Penthouses, which will be located on the last floors, will additionally enjoy the owners with a beautiful view from the vast terraces. On the last floors, the terraces will be finished with a composite board.

The building is a prestigious project, which is the only one in the area with an elegant lobby. Residents appreciate the high standard of finishing of common parts, eg carpets in the halls. Elegance goes here with functionality: this solution also quietens the corridors. The estate has fenced recreation areas. Available to residents will be sports fields and tennis courts, and for the youngest there is a well-equipped playground.

When choosing a location, the company was looking for a place that, on the one hand, would beat the city’s energy, and on the other it would guarantee peace and create conditions for rest. And so unique is the location of the House in the Three Ponds Valley: in the city center and at the same time surrounded by park and ponds.

The House in the Three Ponds Valley was appreciated by the Silesians: numerous awards, high sales and a lot of interest in the third stage clearly indicate this. This is the biggest compliment for us. We are proud of it. Our inhabitants chose this place because, as they say, it is a great “oasis”, which due to its location allows you to enjoy the charms of urban life. Nobody likes to stay in traffic jams and waste time – says Arie Koren, CEO of Okam Capital – Clients of the House in the Three Ponds Valley are families and active people. People who want to live and live in a beautiful place that brings to mind suburban recreation and leisure areas. But getting to work, school or shopping center is just a few minutes.

The investment was designed by Tomasz Konior, an architect known, among others, for the project of the Silesian Philharmonic, the seat of the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra (NOSPR). The House in the Three Ponds Valley in comparison to other neighboring investments has a cozy character and is not a huge complex. Thanks to this, the estate is safe and peaceful.

You can live everywhere, live a full life only in selected places. The House in the Three Ponds Valley was conceived as a place to live. Beautiful, prestigious apartments located in the immediate vicinity of green and recreational areas. Inhabitants can use walking paths, cycling and rollerblading places, commune with nature and have a nice time in neighboring known restaurants and bars (Sztuwajery, La Cantina, Panderosa). And if they want in a few minutes they can join in the urban rhythm of the Silesian agglomeration.

Near the House in the Three Ponds Valley there are shopping centers (Trzy Stawy and Belg), schools and kindergartens. The proximity of transport hubs allows you to quickly get to selected city points, such as a school or workplace, or go on a family trip outside the city or business meeting in another agglomeration.

OKAM has signed a contract for general contracting with NDI. The contract includes the realization of the latest OKAM investment in the Żoliborz. ŻOLI ŻOLI also has a valid building permit.

ŻOLI ŻOLI is a housing investment that was created in the ‘Płaskowicki and Partnerzy’ architecture studio. The general contractor is NDI, which has extensive experience in the realization of premium investments. – We have been operating on the Polish market for over 25 years. Thanks to our knowledge, a team of specialists as well as proven subcontractors, we are able to provide the best standard of performance. ŻOLI ŻOLI is an interesting architecture in a prestigious location. I am sure that thanks to our contribution, this investment will be really “jolie”, which means simply beautiful – says Jarosław Kosiński, Director of the Center Department of NDI.

Construction works on the plot, where two buildings with only 234 apartments will be built will start already in June.

Apartments in ŻOLI ŻOLI have varied areas: from 27 to 113 m2 and are attractively designed: they have from 1 to 5 rooms. In the whole building A, flats are above standard high and have almost 3 meters (2.99 m). This creates new arrangement possibilities and even small premises seem more spacious. All flats are distinguished by well-thought-out and functional layouts with the possibility of rearrangement, eg. the division of a studio into two rooms, or the separation of a kitchen in larger apartments. Apartments on the ground floor have green gardens. All other premises have balconies or loggias, while penthouses have loggias and terraces on the roof. The apartments are bright and well-lit: large and high (up to 2.70 m) panoramic windows guarantee an adequate amount of daylight. – It’s a very well thought out and well-prepared project and also in a great location. Żoliborz is one of the most fashionable districts in Warsaw. And it is not surprising: a few minutes to the center, well communicated, with a lot of greenery and fully developed infrastructure. A district in which a lot is happening – says Arie Koren, CEO OKAM – ŻOLI ŻOLI has already been appreciated by the clients.

Sales of the apartments is carried out since mid-April in the new office at Rydygiera 9b Street adjacent to the investment. Directly from the windows of the sales office, you can see how Żoli Żoli is created.

STRENGTH OF WOLA is a photo exhibition about the Warsaw Wola district. Its purpose is to show the changing neighborhood and the potential hidden in it. The exhibition of photographs – from the interwar period, through the PRL to contemporary shots – will allow you to move in time and discover this famous and unknown face of the Wola. The official opening of the exhibition will take place on May 11 (Thursday) at 17.00 in the INCITY building at 1 Siedmiogrodzka St., and then from May 15, the exhibition will be on the fence at 28 Karolkowa Street, and from June 9 in Open Colony (branch of Wolski Cultural Center) at 15 Górczewska St., where it will remain until June 28.

The development of each city is controversial. Some see it as a chance, others regret what goes into the past. The STRENGTH OF WOLA exhibition is a record of the process of changes that have taken place in the last few years in this one of the most famous districts of Warsaw. Historical shots will be interspersed with contemporary photos. The exhibition shows how the district develops, drawing strength from its history.

History of Wola dates back to the fourteenth century: the first mention of the village of Wielka Wola, which was owned by the dukes of Mazovia, dates back to 1367. The district permanently inscribed in the history of Poland: here, on the Wolski fields, kings were elected for over 200 years. Many names in Wola take its origin from the time of the free election: for example, the name of Elekcyjna street or the Koło estate, which refers to the knights’ circle.

The golden age for Wola was the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, when many plants and factories are being built here. The flourishing industry for years determined the nature of this district. Also in the interwar period and after World War II, Wola was mainly associated as an industrial and working district. In this period, it was commonly said that it was the Wild West, other districts were rebuilding and Wola was lying fallow for many years. In addition, after 1980, many factories operating here fell.

Wola has been rediscovered in recent years. Currently, we see the rapid development of the district, which today is perceived as an increasingly fashionable place. Its location, communication and unique atmosphere are appreciated.

The patrons of the exhibition are ASBUD and OKAM, two Warsaw developers. – We want to show the place with which we are connected and which was chosen by us for a reason – the company’s representatives emphasize.

– Warsaw is my city of choice. It is full of energy and potential. Wola is the quintessence of Warsaw. A few years ago, the place appeared as a desert. Ruined buildings, neglected places. Not very safe. Today, this district is alive. Great location in the vicinity of the city center and major transport routes and metro. With a unique atmosphere that draws strength and character from the history of this place – says Arie Koren, CEO OKAM.

– Wola is currently the most attractive office zone in the capital, where many leading companies and corporations move their headquarters. At the same time, many prestigious housing investments are being created here. Thanks to this, the contemporary Wola is a combination of the energy of a dynamically developing Warsaw city, shifting to the west, with elements of a real city that does not depopulate after 5pm. Here “new” gives the other life “old” – emphasizes Raied Tanous, Managing Director of Asbud Group.

– I am glad that the energy and potential of Wola are appreciated by the entrepreneurs operating here. The STRENGTH OF WOLA exhibition allows you to touch history and enjoy the present. I wish to all residents of Wola, the people who work here, that this district will dynamically develop, not destroy its heritage and be beautiful every day – says Tomasz Misztal, Deputy Director of the Wolski Cultural Center.

The exhibition will include photographs of buildings and places that have changed very much, and those that have not undergone significant transformation for decades. And so the building in which the Hospital of St. Zofia not only has not changed in appearance in years, but it has also had the same function invariably since 1912. In turn, Prądzyńskiego Street, where modern exhibition center EXPO operates today, at the beginning of the 20th century was a place where grain elevators stood.

The exhibition was preceded by a photo competition entitled YOUR WOLA for all lovers of the Wola district. Its goal was to show Wola through the eyes of residents, people who work in Wola and all those whom Wola fascinates. The winning photos will be presented during the vernissage of the exhibition on May 11.

The patrons of the exhibition hope that the exhibition will appeal to all those who like Wola. The exhibition on May 15 will be transferred from the INCITY investment of OKAM to fencing the newly-built Metropoint investment of ASBUD along Karolkowa St. From June 9, it can be seen in the branch of the Wolski Cultural Center.

YOUR WOLA is a photo competition for all lovers of Wola – Warsaw’s district. The winning photos will be presented during the exhibition entitled STRENGTH OF WOLA (11 May), the aim of which is to show the development of the district. The exhibition of photos from the interwar period, through the times of the PRL to contemporary scenes will allow you to move in time. The exhibition will be presented from May 15 on external fences and everyone will be able to get to know the atmosphere of Wola.

The aim of the competition, which started on April 14th, is to show Wola through the eyes of residents, people who work in Wola and all whose Wola fascinates. We want to see the Wola extraordinary. Moments captured in the lens can surprise and astonish. Wola is a district of contrasts: from the highest office building in Warsaw and a luxury hotel, through modern apartment buildings, “blocks” from the 60’s and 70’s, forgotten, decaying houses on Odolany, housing estates from the 20s of the twentieth century to architectural monuments from XIX century.

Wola is on the one hand the so-called the second Warsaw “city” with numerous office buildings, where many companies and corporations have their headquarters. On the other hand, Wola is a secluded Park Moczydło with charming clay stones. Wola ceaselessly surprises with its faces.

– Warsaw is an energetic city. Dynamic, young, pulsating. And extremely powerful. This city inspires. Many people chose them for their home. I also. When I saw Wola several years ago I knew that this place has potential. There was a power of history in it that needed to be woken up – says Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM, one of the organizers of the competition.

– I still meet with the votes that investors do not care about the environment, that we only want to build and that’s all. It’s absolutely wrong thinking. We particularly care about the surroundings, about the development of the area. And it is not uncontrolled and chaotic, but it is the one that interacts with the existing urban fabric. – Koren continues – We have already completed the investment in Wola. We want to show how beauty and respect for tradition can change the city – he adds.

We are waiting for photos until May 3, 2017, at 2:00 PM. The subject matter of the photos must be related to the Warsaw Wola. Photographs can be monochrome or colored. Invention lies with the authors. More information about the competition and regulations on www.twoja-wola.pl and on FB profile https://www.facebook.com/TWOJA-WOLA-601853366690452/?fref=ts.

Prague’s Bohema was awarded in the prestigious Wienerberger Brick Award. The project was awarded in the category “Project without implementation”.

Featured Bohema
The rationale for Bohema was emphasized by a skilful continuation of the scale and character of the historical development of Prague and the creation of an attractive public space surrounded by new residential buildings and industrial relics. 

The Wienerberger competition has been awarding outstanding architectural objects for thirteen years, showing the world not only the highest quality material and design, but also the essence of the architecture synergy with the surrounding environment. The local edition, being also the qualifications for the international competition, focuses on the art of native architects.

Bohema: from design to realization
The Bohema is an unique project in Warsaw in the post-industrial complex of the former Pollena factory at 20 Szwedzka St. Designed in the studio of Grupa 5 Architekci, the design of a modern housing estate with complementary service and commercial functions, after a few years of turmoil on the real estate market have a chance for implementation.

– Bohema will be a special place – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO OKAM Capital – Bohema is an investment that will combine tradition and modernity, an investment that escapes traditional classifications: because it’s not just a flat, it’s not just a commercial and office space. It is an urban space that, in addition to performing these functions, refers to the tradition of urban squares, where social life took place. I am proud that Okam is an investor who will realize this unique project.

Bohema will consist of a residential part, which will be created by a team of newly created buildings with modern architecture referring to the old buildings of the factory and the nearest neighborhood as well as the public part. Old buildings from the intersection of Szwedzka and Strzelecka Streets will turn into a unique commercial and service complex.

The residential part is planned for approximately 900 apartments. The strong side of Bohema is implemented infrastructure investments that will ensure great communication with the center of Warsaw. There will be a subway, train and extended and modernized road routes nearby.

An additional advantage will be the proximity of the areas with services located in the historic part. The project assumes such a location and separation of the residential zone, which will guarantee quiet and functional separation from the public zone.

An important asset that the jury of the competition appreciated was the open-minded character of the housing estate, in which instead of typical space separation with high fences, appropriate space zoning and urban detail were used. The sense of security and comfort on the estate results from the proper arrangement and relation between the public and group space.

A characteristic element of the original design was also the futuristic, “cubic” housing development around the chimney, constituting an energizing, compositional keystone of a wide, softly flowing interior between subsequent courtyards of the interior of the housing estate. 

The expected start date of the realization is: 4Q 2017.

On March 16, the Vista building was crowned with a traditional topping out. The housing investment is being built in one of the most attractive locations – in Warsaw’s Mokotów, at 33 Woronicza St.

The Vista Mokotów apartments are distinguished by a great location. A quiet part of Woronicza St. (near Etiudy Rewolucyjna St.) is located in the vicinity of vast green and recreational areas, as well as in the neighbourhood of the developed urban infrastructure. This location creates comfortable living conditions. Rest and relaxation are guaranteed by the nearby Pole Mokotowskie or more intimate, green patio accessible only to residents. Nearby schools, shops, a cinema or office center allow you to enjoy the city life and limit travel time.

Vista is a modern building with 275 flats from 28 to 165 sq m. The 12-storey investment was made of the best materials. – Vista is not only made of high quality materials, but the building is equipped with interesting solutions, including possibility of charging electric cars. All lighting was made in energy-saving LED technology. Rainwater tank with the possibility of using it to water the greenery around the building is another modern and ecological technology. Smart videophones with access to the Internet cloud will be installed in all apartments – says Leszek Gołąbiecki, the president of the board at Unibep SA. – This is another project realized with OKAM Capital. Together, we finished one of our largest investment in Warsaw’s Wola – InCity, with over 500 apartments. Residents of apartments ready for occupation ale pleased with their flats’ high quality – emphasizes Leszek Gołąbiecki.

Vista will be put into use in the fourth quarter of 2017. Prices start at PLN 7,100 per sq m – says Arie Koren. – Customers appreciate our approach to the calculation of the yardage. We are one developer in the surroundings which does not count the area under the partition walls to the total area of ​​the flat. This is a difference of up to 2% of the flat area in favor of the Buyer, which he receives from the developer as a gift – adds Koren.

Vista is a variety of square metrage, on which 1 to 5 rooms have been arranged. Apartments are characterized by a large “flexibility” and easy redesign, for example, separating a kitchenette with a window or an additional room. Some larger apartments have the option of separating a smaller apartment with a separate entrance, which is ideal for people who have children growing up or need to look after their elderly parents.

VISTA is above all quality and convenience, which consists of:
– a representative lobby with reception;
– a spacious green patio with fountains; 
– large, wooden, panoramic windows;
– the height of apartments from 2.7 to 3.38 m; 
– high standard of finishing common parts, including veneer entrance door;
– modern elevation with HPL modules;
– bicycle storage and bike rental, playground and resident’s club.

The attractiveness of investments is strengthened by the close proximity of the Mokotów business area. People buying apartments for rent will appreciate the fact that tens of thousands of people are working in the vicinity of the investment, which may be potentially interested in renting a flat close to the workplace. In the building from Woronicza St., there will be a retail and service area as well as a representative lobby with reception. Vista is not Okam’s only investment in this area. The investor realizes the construction of a residential project called Mokka at 7 Konstruktorska St. 

OKAM Capital is launching another investment: on February 1, the sale of ŻOLI ŻOLI will start – an elegant, modernist investment located on the green Żoliborz at Rydgiera 6 St.

ŻOLI ŻOLI is a project which character refers to the district in which it is created. It is an intimate investment with only 234 apartments in two buildings.

– Light, modern architecture refers to the Żoliborz climate. We always try to make our designs fit the surroundings and get the best from the environment. The brand itself refers to the name of the Żoliborz district: in French, jolie (read: żoli) means “beautiful, nice” and this is the project: simply beautiful as Żoliborz. The simple building refers to the architecture of the 1920s. – says Arie Koren, CEO Okam Capital – We took care of all the details: elegant lobby, high-quality finishes, elevation with wood-like elements. This project is tasteful. On the other hand, convenient and functional: entry from all sides, a special platform for the disabled and children’s prams. Available for residents: bicycle storage, prams storage and a playroom for children.

The buildings are connected by a green, open courtyard with a playground.

Apartments in ŻOLI ŻOLI have various size: from 27 to 113 m2 and are attractively designed: they have from 1 to 4 rooms. The project distinguishes the height of apartments. In the entire building A they are above standard and have 3 meters height. This creates new arrangement possibilities and even small apartments seem to be more spacious. Premises are distinguished by well-thought-out and functional layouts with the possibility of rearrangement, eg the division of a studio into two rooms, or the separation of a kitchen in larger apartments. Apartments on the ground floor have green gardens. All other premises have balconies or loggias, while loggia penthouses and roof terraces. The apartments are bright and well-lit: large and tall (up to 2.70 m) panoramic windows guarantee an adequate amount of daylight. In ŻOLI ŻOLI, 313 parking spaces with above-standard dimensions located on three levels of the underground garage will be built.

Customers will be able to buy storage cells and choose one of 192 that will be built in both buildings. On the ground floor, service premises have also been designed (up to a height of 6 m), in which shops and service points necessary for residents will be located.

It is worth mentioning the location of ŻOLI ŻOLI – It is said that in Żoliborzan’s personality and the character of the location there is a strength that attracts more inhabitants like a magnet. And there is no reason to be surprised. This smallest district of Warsaw directly borders with Śródmieście. At the same time it is the greenest (the largest green area per capita) and the intimate part of Warsaw. Full of cafes, restaurants, wine bars, numerous shops and places created for meetings and relaxation. ŻOLI ŻOLI is directly adjacent to the park, with “Figle i psoty” – one of the coolest playgrounds in the city. A new kindergarten is being built right next to Rydygiera. Nearby are well-known and recognized cafes, a bakery and an ice cream parlor (Sam, Ice Cream “Baśniowa Street”, Sucre) and other shops and service outlets. 5 minutes on foot to the large Arkadia shopping center. Two steps from the tram and bus stops, with easy and fast access to the S8 and S7 routes. Soon, the revitalization of Grunwaldzki Square will begin, which will become the Warsaw’s local center, a friendly recreational space, adapted to cycling and walking. Do you need to convince someone else to live in Żoliborz? – Wojciech Konferowicz, Sales and Marketing Director of OKAM Capital presents the location. 

The project was made by a studio ‘Płaskowicki + Partnerzy Architects’ known from projects Apartment in Kolobrzeg Zdrojowa Invest, Apartment Baltic Park Molo in Świnoujście, Konstruktorska Residencial Matexi or the North Gate, office center in Warsaw. The sale starts on February 1 and will be carried out at the OKAM Capital sales office at 1 Siedmiogrodzka Street. Within a few months, it will be transferred to the construction site.

Currently, preparatory processes are being held to start construction work, which should be commenced by the general contractor in December 2015. Construction is projected to be finished in the third quarter of 2017.

“It is another one of our projects to be developed in cooperation with Unibep,” says Okam Capital’s CEO, Arie Koren. “Our experience of working with Unibep has proven that the company is timely, reliable and professional. Together, we are finishing the InCity – one of the biggest investments in Warsaw’s district of Wola, containing almost 500 apartments. The apartments that have already been put into service are appreciated by their residents for their high quality,” Koren underlines.

Vista is planned to have over 17000 m2 of usable floor area in four 12-story buildings as well as 292 parking spots in an underground garage.

The presale of this new residential investment in Mokotów will start with discounts and family picnic on Saturday and will last until Sunday (5 and 6 September) with opening hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Vista, meaning ‘the view,’ is the newest residential investment of OKAM Capital. It is to be built in one of the most attractive locations in Mokotów – Służewiec Przemysłowy (Industrial Służewiec), on Woronicza 33.

At the upcoming weekend (5-6 September), during the FAMILY PICNIC we are to begin the presale.

The name of the project is not a coincidence; it refers to the architecture and philosophy of the place: great panorama than can be seen from the windows is ‘the view’ indeed and living in this urban oasis gives you the view on a comfortable life.

VISTA is to be built in the western part of Służewiec Przemysłowy (Industrial Służewiec) in Mokotów. It is one of the most attractive locations for residential investments, mainly because of its favorable communication solutions, that is, opening of Warsaw Southern Bypass, southern section of N-S route with “Marynarska” junction and comfortable access to public transportation (buses, trams, subway and Fast City Rail ‘SKM’). Attractiveness of the investment is reinforced by close vicinity of business centers in Mokotów and Ochota.

The investment itself is located in a quiet part of Woronicza street. Surrounded by the greenness of historic stands of trees, it will be an oasis to relax in and to escape the hustle of the big city. VISTA, consisting of four 12-story buildings, will be the highest residential building in the neighborhood. Residents of the apartments located at the highest stories will have the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful view on Mokotów and Chopin Airport. About 300 spacious apartments of an area between 35 and 105 m2 will be built as a part of the project. Beautiful winter gardens and spacious terraces will be built as parts of some of the apartments. All of the apartments will be bright and well-lit thanks to panoramic windows. The investment is characterized by timeless, elegant design. Highest quality materials will be used for finishing.

At their disposal, the residents will have an elegant lobby, beautiful internal courtyard with garden, parking with electric vehicle charging stations and children club.

Construction of the investment, in accordance with valid construction permit, will start in fall 2015 and will be finished in 2017. Prices of the apartments range from PLN 7700 per m2, but during the open days discounts and special credit offer will be available.

VISTA opens its doors for all those interested in a new view on life! During the open weekend we would like to introduce you to our living philosophy. To us, it is not just a building. It is the atmosphere of life we would like to share. We would like to invite you to taste fresh juice, get a massage, seek a dietitian’s advice and balance your body doing zumba, crossfit or stretching.

We have also prepared something especially for our youngest guests. Our face painting artists will turn your kids into their favorite cartoon characters. The little ones will also be able to let off some steam by playing on trampolines and slides. We have special mountaineering program for both, children and adults: climbing on drink crates and making giant bubbles!

Please, join us at VISTA (Woronicza 33B) on 5-6 September (Saturday-Sunday) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

MOKKA, another residential investment of the leader on Warsaw’s real estate market, OKAM Capital, has received valid and final construction permit on 14 July 2015. Construction project has been approved. Since 15 June, the company has been selling the apartments in the investment.

The project will be supervised by its authors, an architectural design studio, Hermanowicz Rewski Architekci. Construction work will start in third quarter of 2015, and finish in 2017 as planned.

The investment, located on Konstruktorska 7, will be built in northern part of Służewiec Przemysłowy (Industrial Służewiec), a part of Mokotów. It is one of the most attractive locations for residential investments, mainly for its favorable communication solutions – opening of Warsaw Southern Bypass and southern section of N-S route along with ‘Marynarska’ junction. Attractiveness of the investment is reinforced by close vicinity of Mokotów’s business parks, shopping mall, cinema and fitness club.

Most of the new investment will consist of smaller apartments – two rooms with no more than 45 m2 of area, designed to meet the expectations of even the most demanding clients desiring sophisticated apartments. Residential buildings will be constructed on an almost 9000 m2 plot. As a part of our new residential project, estimated at over 20,000 m2 of floor area, about 300 apartments will be built. Up until today, almost 15% of the apartments have been sold.

MOKKA consists of two 9-story buildings. The residents will have an elegant lobby, internal courtyard with garden, electric vehicle parking and residents’ club at their disposal. The prices start at PLN 7100 per m2.

There will also be a retail space, where the residents will find local sales and service centers.

Currently, OKAM Capital is executing three residential investments: InCity in Wola, Vista on Woronicza 33B and The House in Valley of Three Ponds in Katowice. Next year, OKAM is to start its new project, Bohema, which aims at revitalization of 19th century cosmetics factory in Warsaw’s district of Praga Północ.

OKAM and UNIBEP SA have signed a general contractor agreement for fourth stage of the InCity investment, located on Siedmiogrodzka street in Warsaw. UNIBEP SA was a general contractor of previous three stages. The project has been created in an architectural studio, Grupa 5.

In the fourth stage 84 apartments are to be built. The apartments will be smaller than those in the previous stages, with an area between 26 and 84 m2. Residential units will be located on 7 stories of a free-standing building, while the ground floor is intended for retail space. The architecture of the building corresponds to the buildings from previous stages. The investment is finished to a high standard. Green spaces and playground for kids will be created between the buildings. At their disposal, the residents will have 91 parking spots in a 3-story underground garage.

“We are glad to have been able to realize all of the construction stages of this modern residential investment located in the heart of Warsaw,” says the CEO of UNIBEP, Leszek Marek Gołąbiecki. “We would like to thank our investor for the trust they put in us and for rewarding cooperation. We do our best to make sure the quality of our services is at its highest level, and this investment is the best proof of this fact.”

The fourth stage is the last one of the InCity project.

“The investment is to be finished in fourth quarter of 2016. It was appreciated by our clients who praise it for its top class location, high standard and attention to details. Today, apartments from first two stages are sold out, and in the third stage only 30% of them are still available,” says Arie Koren, OKAM Capital’s CEO. “Clients are already inquiring about our future investments. We are moving construction works to Mokotów. We are selling out two of our new investments in Służewiec: MOKKA on Konstruktorska 7 and, in September, we are to start selling VISTA on Woronicza 33b.

InCity is a unique project: modern architecture located in a quiet part of the city center, in a direct vicinity of Rondo Daszyńskiego subway station (200 m). The investment is situated near Warsaw Rising Museum, newly emerging business centers, pool, fitness club, theaters and shopping centers. All these elements make the investment even more attractive. It is a perfect place for people who value life in the heart of the city, where the most important events take place. The project was designed by architects from Grupa 5, one of the most prominent architectural design studios in Poland.

The real estate development company OKAM Capital is starting the second stage of construction of their prestigious investment in Katowice. The House in Valley of Three Ponds is a unique residential building situated in a close vicinity of the green recreation areas on Gen. W. Sikorskiego street.

The penultimate stage of the project comprises construction of 56 apartments between 34 and 99 m2. Total usable floor area of the investment is to reach 3962,5 m2. Smaller studio apartments, double room apartments as well as three-, four- and five-room apartments will be available for purchase. Four exclusive penthouse apartments will also be available in this 8-story building. The residents will have underground parking lot at their disposal, with 86 parking spots. This apartment building was designed in an architectural design studio, Konior Studio, the authors of the previous stage. Construction works of the second, penultimate stage will start this June and finish in September 2016. Hochtief is the general constructor of the project.

“The House in Valley of Three Ponds is one of our main investments. It is extremely popular among clients. The first stage of the project has just been put into service. 20% of the apartments from the second stage, which we have begun selling last fall, have sold out by now. By cooperating with the best designers and contractors, we guarantee the highest standard of our apartments to our clients,” says Sales and Marketing manager in OKAM Capital, Michał Skwarek.

Close vicinity of a lake and distinctive soil conditions required specialist technology do be used while realizing the project. The buildings were situated on 261 displacement piles of total length exceeding 2 km, constituting a solid foundation for the building.

The House in Valley of Three Ponds is a residential object located in close vicinity of the center of Katowice, with a picturesque view on the valley. Main function of this housing development is to surround the green areas and the real fisheries of the ponds, that is, to create a perfect space for relax and recreation. Tennis courts, pitches, playgrounds, and fitness club will be built as a part of the project.

Prices of the apartments in this investment start from PLN 6000 per m2.
