Warsaw Stock Exchange-listed developer Echo In-vestment has secured a €116-million bank loan from Bank Zachodni WBK and PKO Bank Polski for its under-construction Q22 office skyscraper project in the Polish capital. The recently concluded transac-tion is the largest bank financing deal in the whole history of Echo Investment, said Grzegorz Iwański, the financing department director at the company. Michał Białas, senior specialist – corporate proper-ty department, at Bank Zachodni WBK, said that the negotiations regarding financing the Q22 scheme had been relatively quick for such a large project. “We think that the negotiations process was very efficient and that it went really smoothly thanks to the first-class relationship with the cus-tomer and the swift cooperation between the banks,” Białas said. Echo Investment has recently signed Deloitte as the first anchor tenant for the Q22 development. The global consulting firm is going to take up 11,000 sqm of office space in the building. Asked whether the signing of the lease transaction had been the neces-sary condition for granting the bank loan, Białas said that a number of factors had been taken into consideration in the decision-making process, ra-ther than a single one. “We always analyze investments to be financed case by case,” Białas said. “While we are selective about

what we put in our portfolio, as one of the leading property financing institutions in Poland we want to be active in the market and participate in quality projects, be it in Warsaw or in any other major Polish city.” Białas admitted that in the face of the large new office space supply in Warsaw, banks generally remain very selective with regard to fi-nancing new schemes. However, according to him, bank financing is more available and slightly cheap-er today than a few years ago.

The investment is valued at 500 million zloty Image: Echo Investment Ilona Wołyniec, managing director, strategic clients and project finance division, at PKO Bank Polski, admitted that the supply of new office space in Warsaw is now very large. However, she noted that many of the exiting office buildings in the city are aging very fast and their tenants are increasingly moving to new locations, generating additional de-mand for new space. PKO Bank Polski is interested in financing office projects which are in locations that are popular with tenants, and in Warsaw these include Mokotów, Wola and the CBD. “Our portfo-lio includes projects in each of these three loca-tions,” Wołyniec said. She added that, from the per-spective of her bank, a sufficient pre-lease level is

still the main factor that allows the bank to view a particular office project as a “good” project. Designed by the renowned Kuryłowicz & Associ-ates architectural studio, the Q22 project is being developed at the intersection of Al. Jana Pawła II and ul. Grzybowska in the downtown of Warsaw, on the site which previously housed the Mercure hotel. The 155-metre scheme, whose value is esti-mated at 500 million zloty, is scheduled for comple-tion in the first quarter of 2016. It will deliver more than 50,000 sqm of leasable office space. The Q22 investment is one of the two office sky-scraper projects now under construction in War-saw, the other one being the Warsaw Spire scheme which is being developed by Ghelamco Poland near Rondo Daszyńskiego in the Wola district of the Polish capital. In August last year, the developer se-cured a total of more than 900 million zloty in bank financing for the development from Bank Pekao, Bank Zachodni WBK, PKO Bank Polski and BRE Bank.

After a period of an increased development activity in small and medium-sized cities in Poland, retail space developers are currently re-focusing on the largest urban centres across the country, according to a recent report by Colliers International. The to-tal leasable space of planned retail projects located in the seven largest markets in Poland – Warsaw,

the Silesia agglomeration, Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań and Tri-city – and scheduled to be complet-ed by 2017 amounts to 980,000 sqm, the study said.

Forum Radunia – an upcoming project in Tri-city Image: Multi Corporation The return of retail investments to large cities does not mean that there is less interest in the smaller urban centres, said Katarzyna Michnikowska, sen-ior analyst, research and consultancy services, at Colliers International. However, because of the considerable amount of competition in the smaller cities and the limited purchasing power of their in-habitants, not all developers now decide to build re-tail facilities in those locations, Michnikowska add-ed. The largest amount of the new supply will be locat-ed in Warsaw, the largest and most competitive market in Poland, where no large-scale retail scheme has been delivered over the last seven years. The Warsaw agglomeration now boasts of 1.4 mil-lion sqm of leasable retail space. Within the next three years, new investments totaling 400,000 sqm will be delivered, said Marta Machus-Burek, direc-tor, retail strategies and development advisory ser-vices, at Colliers International.

Asked why it has taken so long to prepare new large-scale shopping centre projects in the Polish capital, Michnikowska pointed to planning and land ownership issues which usually take a lot of time to resolve. Perhaps there was not enough determina-tion on the part of developers who postponed their investment decisions due to the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, Michnikowska said. For its part, the Silesia agglomeration currently has 1.1 million sqm of retail areas. Another 110,000 sqm of space should be added by 2017, in cities includ-ing Katowice, Piekary Śląskie and Tychy, according to Colliers International data. In the Kraków ag-glomeration, the existing stock now amounts to a combined 550,000 sqm. The largest scheme in the pipeline is the Serenada shopping centre which will deliver 42,000 sqm of leasable space.

Katarzyna Michnikowska, Colliers International Image: Colliers International The retail stock in the Łódź agglomeration, current-ly standing at 503,000 sqm, is going to grow by an-other 50,000 sqm. A large shopping centre scheme called Sukcesja is now under construction in the city. There are still many investors who believe in the potential of Wrocław, Machus-Burek said. The

agglomeration now has 600,000 sqm of retail space, with an additional 130,000 sqm being in the pipe-line. Three shopping centre investments are now being developed in Poznań, the largest of them being the 100,000-sqm Posnania mall. Within the next three years, another 34,000 sqm could be delivered with-in the planned Metropolis scheme. Last but not least, the Tri-city market now has 692,000 sqm of retail GLA. Pipeline projects include the Galeria Metropolia scheme which will deliver 22,000 sqm of leasable space in late 2015 or early 2016, the Col-liers International report said.

REVITALIZATION

The MARS Real Estate group will in the upcoming months sign a joint-venture agreement regarding the development of the Gdynia Waterfront multi-function project in Gdynia on the Baltic coast. The planned scheme will be developed in the downtown of the city, on approximately 8.5 hectares of post-industrial, waterfront land that was previously used by the Nauta ship repair yard. Tomasz Lewandowski, Managing Director, real es-tate assets, at MS TFI (MS Mutual Funds Society) which manages the MARS Real Estate group, said that a new zoning plan has recently been adopted for the area in question, which will allow for the re-development and revitalization of the site. When fully developed, the Gdynia Waterfront project is

Page 5: PT Urban Issues No. 36

expected to comprise 45,000 sqm of retail space, 35,000 sqm of warehouse space, 28,000 sqm of res-idential space and 23,000 sqm of office areas.

Tomasz Lewandowski, MS TFI Image: MARS Real Estate At the moment, the MARS Real Estate group owns assets valued at a total of almost 500 million zloty. The MS TFI fund that manages the group belongs to the state-owned Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (Polish Military Group). MARS Real Estate com-prises five real estate companies – Centrum Bankowo-Finansowe Nowy Świat, Centrum Giełdowe, Grupa Waryński, FS Nieruchomości and Unimor Development – which are now developing schemes valued at a total of more than 800 million zloty. Apart from the planned Gdynia Waterfront devel-opment, the group is currently involved – through those subsidiaries – in a number of other ongoing

and planned office and residential projects in War-saw and Tri-city. In the Polish capital, these are the Centrum Bankowo-Finansowe Nowy Świat and Nowy Świat 2.0 office schemes in the downtown, as well as the Stacja Kazimierz and Miasto Wola hous-ing developments in the Wola district. The Nowy Świat 2.0 project is now under construc-tion and is scheduled to be completed in June next year. The scheme will deliver 4,178 sqm of office space and 1,968 sqm of retail areas, with MARS Real Estate currently talking with its potential tenants, Lewandowski said. For its part, the existing Cen-trum Bankowo-Finansowe Nowy Świat building, which neighbours the Nowy Świat 2.0 site, is going to be thoroughly refurbished and modernized with-in the next few years. The Stacja Kazimierz and Miasto Wola projects are respectively being developed by MARS Real Estate subsidiary Grupa Waryński in joint ventures with residential developers Polnord and Dantex. Accord-ing to Lewandowski, sales of apartments in both developments are proceeding apace. Grupa Waryński is also planning an office project called EQlibrium in the same neighbourhood that it will develop on its own and which will deliver over 10,500 sqm of space.

Warsaw Stock Exchange-listed developer Echo In-vestment has launched construction on the second

phase of its Nowy Mokotów residential project in the Polish capital, one of the largest housing schemes in the portfolio of the company. The in-vestment is located in the area of ul. Konstruktorska and ul. Suwak in the Służewiec Przemysłowy neighbourhood of the Mokotów district of Warsaw and will comprise a total of 800 apartments in four phases, when fully developed. The development was designed by the renowned Kuryłowicz & Associates architectural studio, with Echo Investment having recently finished construc-tion on the first phase of the project. That phase de-livered 200 apartments, the vast majority of which have already been sold. The second phase of the Nowy Mokotów scheme comprises 206 housing units, priced from 7,000 zloty to 11,000 zloty per sqm.

The whole investment will deliver 800 apartments Image: Echo Investment Located relatively close to the downtown of War-saw, the Służewiec Przemysłowy neighbourhood is an attractive brownfield area which is being inten-sively redeveloped, said Maximilian Mendel, direc-tor, transaction advisory, at REAS. He noted that while the area to the north of ul. Marynarska has

Page 6: PT Urban Issues No. 36

weekly newsletter # 036 / 24th November 2014 / page 5

gradually been transformed into an office hub, ur-ban planning documents allow for the development of both commercial and residential space on the post-industrial sites in Służewiec Przemysłowy. Construction on the first residential developments in the neighbourhood started around the year 2007, with the investments having been concentrated in the area located to the south ul. Marynarska. The projects included Apartamenty Cybernetyki (devel-oped by Rogowski Development), Hubertus (devel-oped by Eco Classic) and Galeria Park (developed by an eponymous SPV), Mendel said. He added that at approximately the same time, IP Inverpolska started developing Alanda Residence on ul. Woronicza in the northern part of Służewiec Przemysłowy. To date, a total of over 2,000 apart-ments in 14 projects have already been delivered in the neighbourhood. More than 2,500 housing units are now in the pipeline. Many of them are located in the northern part of Służewiec Przemysłowy, in the area of ul. Konstruktorska and ul. Wołoska, Mendel said. Echo Investment will next year launch construction on a new residential project in Warsaw which will be located in the area of ul. Puławska and ul. Boryszewska, said Wojciech Gepner, public rela-tions manager at the company. He added that also next year, Echo Investment will start developing another phase of the Nowy Mokotów scheme. Con-struction on a huge planned development on ul. Grzybowska in the Wola district of the Polish capi-tal will launch in 2016, Gepner said. Next year, Echo Investment will deliver a total of six residential pro-jects across Poland – in Poznań (first phase of Park Sowińskiego, first phase of Osiedle Jaśminowe, se-cond phase of Pod Klonami), Wrocław (Grota 111), Kraków (Bronowicka 42) and Łódź (second phase of Osiedle Jarzębinowe).

Real estate investor Capital Park has recently se-cured a building permit for the ArtNorblin mixed-use project in Warsaw which will involve the de-velopment of a total of more than 64,000 sqm of of-fice, retail, service and cultural space on the historic Norblin factory site.

A special team of experts from a number of fields was formed which included the representatives of the investor, architects, project managers, lawyers, preservation officers and even art historians. The team approach proved successful, especially during the cooperation with the historic buildings preser-vation office whose approval was secured relatively quickly. One has to remember that the formal pro-cedure through which we had to go in order to se-cure a building permit required tens of approvals and consultations with a number of offices and in-stitutions. While working on the project, we had to take a lot of issues into account: from the historic buildings and machinery of Norblin, through the nearby subway construction, the reconstruction of ul. Prosta, underground infrastructure, transport and parking issues, the social and architectural con-text of the location and the natural environment, to the long post-industrial history of the place.

In the case of projects where the architect himself can create the context for his concepts, one drawing of a given type and fragment is enough. Meanwhile, in the case of revitalization projects you have to take into account the existing architectural, histor-ic, social and other contexts. On top of that, you also have to catalogue the existing elements and prepare

a plan for their transformation. If you add the ne-cessity to conduct all the expert analyses, you can say that, from the perspective of an architect, a revi-talization project is three times as challenging as a “standard” project.

I think that these trends are, above all, reflected in the tendency to preserve the existing historic build-ings in a maximum way – without refining, recreat-ing or styling them anew. A revitalized building or complex should, to the largest possible degree, be a

testament to the times in which it existed, including the time when it was no longer used. There is also the tendency to include cultural, education and oth-er public functions in revitalization programs. Hitherto closed complexes, separated from the rest of the city, are becoming centres of social activity. At ArtNorblin, this function will be fulfilled by, among other things, a public, open main street and an open museum of the former Norblin factory.
