The cornerstone-laying ceremony at City Point Okęcie was attended by representatives of the key stakeholders involved in the project, which is being developed jointly by Peakside Capital Advisors and Partners Group. The development has been pre-leased to Welcome Airport Services, a rapidly growing aviation company planning to establish an international Cargo terminal at the new site. Depenbrock Polska has been appointed as the general contractor. Throughout the planning and execution stages, the developers are supported by the team comprising ONE Architekci, an architectural studio specialising in industrial developments; City Corsite, responsible for pre-development advisory; and 2MPM, tasked with construction oversight and schedule management.

City Point Okęcie is a Build-to-Suit (BTS) development, comprising more than 11,000 sqm of premium warehouse space and modern office accommodation. It has been designed to meet stringent environmental standards.

“City Point Okęcie will undoubtedly set a new benchmark as one of Warsaw’s most technologically advanced city logistics parks, as well as being among the leading sustainable industrial developments globally. Sustainability lies at the heart of our strategy. Through our holistic approach, we have incorporated future-proof solutions into the design, ensuring optimal operational efficiency and resilience against the impacts of climate change”, said Roman Skowroński, Managing Director at Peakside Capital Advisors in Poland.

“As a company operating in the aviation sector, we are acutely aware of air transport's environmental footprint. Therefore, our mission extends beyond delivering exceptional service and encompasses a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our involvement in the City Point Okęcie project reflects our pursuit of these objectives. This development demonstrates how cutting-edge, environmentally friendly technologies and best practices can effectively support the dynamic growth of the aviation industry. As the tenant, we look forward to operating from a facility thoughtfully designed for the future, in accordance with rigorous environmental and energy-efficiency standards. We firmly believe this forward-thinking approach to industrial development addresses today’s environmental challenges while laying a strong foundation for future innovation in our sector”, said Radosław Żuk, Vice President of the Management Board of Welcome Airport Services.

“We take great pride, as the General Contractor, in contributing to a project that raises the bar for modern logistics facilities in Poland and across Europe. City Point Okęcie embodies our vision for innovative, sustainable construction underpinned by precision, advanced technology, and robust engineering solutions. From its inception, this development has demanded meticulous planning, exceptional coordination, and unwavering commitment from every stakeholder – from the developers and designers to our construction teams. Delivering this facility adjacent to a major international airport, particularly within an intensive schedule that includes winter construction works, presents significant logistical and engineering challenges. The project requires ensuring both operational excellence and the highest standards of construction quality”, said Marcin Popek, Project Manager at Depenbrock Polska.

A key objective of City Point Okęcie is the reduction of operational carbon emissions through the integration of renewable energy sources. The building will feature an advanced Building Management System (BMS) designed to monitor and optimise energy and water consumption, as well as high-efficiency LED lighting to ensure both sustainability and occupant comfort.

City Point Okęcie will incorporate advanced water management systems, including a rainwater harvesting solution intended to significantly reduce potable water usage by supplying water for sanitary purposes. The surrounding landscape will be planted with native trees, shrubs, grasses, and other vegetation selected specifically for resilience to local climate conditions, thereby eliminating the need for supplementary irrigation.

The project is strategically positioned in close proximity to Warsaw Chopin Airport on Kinetyczna Street, adjacent to the Warsaw Southern Bypass (S2 expressway) and the S79 expressway (connected with Marynarska and Sasanki Streets), with access to the airport apron on its northern side.
