During breakfast, over 60 experts from the architecture, interior design, real estate and finance industries will summarize 2023 and share their plans for 2024.
Of course, we can’t miss it 🙂. The following will also act as experts: 🟢 Anna Watkowska – Członkini Zarządu OKAM City i Liderka Projektu FSO PARK 🏡🌳 🔴 oraz Marcin Michalec – CEO 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 there will be a charging station for EV electric cars with 14 stations, which will be another pro-environmental element – after the EkoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny” – on the OKAM plot at ul. Jagiellońska 88 in Praga Północ in Warsaw. 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 the electric vehicle to be charged. The opening of the concept under the working name “Coffee with electricity” is planned for 2024.
W obrębie ok. 3 km od terenu po dawnej Fabryce Samochodów Osobowych przy ul. Jagiellońskiej 88 brakuje kawiarni i restauracji, a jednocześnie na 62 ha działce, należącej do OKAM, swoją działalność prowadzi ponad 140 firm i organizacji, które są także często odwiedzane przez klientów czy kontrahentów. W budynku biurowym dawnego Zarządu FSO mieszczą się także trzy uczelnie: Wyższa Szkoła Edukacji w Sporcie, Wyższa Szkoła Bankowa i Prywatne Liceum Sportowe. Przez tę część Pragi Północ przejeżdża codziennie tysiące aut.
Aby jeszcze bardziej ułatwić obecnym i przyszłym najemcom oraz okolicznym mieszkańcom życie, a także zadbać o środowisko naturalne, postanowiono połączyć kawiarnię ze stacją ładowania pojazdów elektrycznych. Lokal będzie liczył ok. 93 mkw. powierzchni i usytuowany zostanie w prawej części Budynku Bramy Głównej F.S.O. PARK, obecnie poszukiwany jest partner biznesowy. Tuż obok kawiarni stworzona zostanie nowoczesna, wciąż jedna z nielicznych w stolicy, stacja do ładowania samochodów elektrycznych EV, z 14 stanowiskami.
Powstanie stacji do ładowania aut elektrycznych to kolejny ekologiczny krok na terenie planowanej przez nas inwestycji F.S.O. PARK. We wrześniu br. otworzyliśmy w Budynku Bramy Głównej EkoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny”. Jednocześnie w okolicy brakowało miejsca do społecznej integracji dla tysięcy osób, które tu pracują, uczą się czy odwiedzają tę okolicę, stąd pomysł na stworzenie przestrzeni pod kawiarnię, w której będą mogli spotykać się nie tylko Ci, którzy będą chcieli podładować swoje auto, ale również Ci, którzy przy pysznej kawie będą chcieli spotkać się, porozmawiać, odbyć biznesowe spotkanie czy po prostu miło spędzić ze sobą czas. W końcu F.S.O. PARK to “Miejsce, które łączy” – mówi Anna Watkowska, Członkini Zarządu OKAM City i Liderka Projektu F.S.O. PARK.
Inwestycja F.S.O. PARK realizowana będzie przez OKAM przez ok. 25 lat, na działce o wielkości 62 ha zlokalizowanej na Pradze Północ w Warszawie. Koncepcja architektoniczna zakłada stworzenie wielofunkcyjnego i ekologicznego Miasta Przyszłości, uwzględniającego nowoczesne rozwiązania technologiczne oraz zrównoważony rozwój. F.S.O. PARK będzie miejscem charakteryzującym się wysoką jakością życia, łączącym funkcję mieszkaniową, biurową, usługowo-handlową, edukacyjną, kulturową czy rekreacyjną. Aż 20 ha stanowić będą tereny zielone, z czego 10 ha – centralny park. Zastosowany zostanie również szereg rozwiązań ekologicznych, w tym panele fotowoltaiczne, kolektory słoneczne, pompy ciepła i ogniwa fotowoltaiczne z perowskitu, a także system całkowitej retencji wody opadowej oraz wewnętrzna sieć niskotemperaturowa.
EkoCentrum “Punkt Zwrotny” in F.S.O. PARK – Summary of activities in 2023.
EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny in 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 in total.
EkoCentrum 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 “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.
We have space… he has talent… and she has talent too…
We are from Prague… and he is from Prague…
So why not do something together? After all, as the motto says: FSO PARK is a PLACE THAT CONNECTS.
So: on December 14 to the Main Gate of F.S.O. MONUMENTAL ART Tymon Wodnicki Atelier will visit the PARK.
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. You will have the opportunity to listen to atmospheric arrangements of songs from the album “Doskonale” as well as a song announcing the next album.

About preparations for the implementation of stage I of F.S.O. PARK and investment values, recently opened at 88 Jagiellońska St.: Climate Education Center Punkt Zwrotny and the planned exhibition “Exhibition at the Factory” with vintage cars, including: produced at FSO, which will be led by Maciej Bień – says Anna Watkowska, Member of the OKAM City Management Board and F.S.O. Project Leader. PARK.
Surrounded by forests and fields 𝗞𝗧𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗪𝗢 Azyl dla koni, is located in the province Masovian Voivodeship, 2 km from the market square in Jeruzalu.
It was here that these intelligent animals found safety and happiness, and trusted humans again. Here, people also learn empathy towards animals, understanding their needs and proper treatment.
Watch a video about Azyl „Ktosiowo”:
Let’s help Azyl survive this difficult moment so that he can continue his mission.
In the area of the F.S.O. PARK investment planned by OKAM in Warsaw’s Praga Północ district, a professional car exhibition will be arranged. The developer has found a partner who will run the permanent exhibition “Exhibition at the Factory” with historic vehicles produced, among others, in the former Passenger Car Factory. The exhibition will be located in the building of the formerLakiernia. The exhibition is scheduled to be launched in the second quarter of 2024.
Cultural and historical heritage is extremely important to us in the case of every investment we carry out in the area of revitalization. We are open to various forms of activity, hence at 88 Jagiellońska St., there are regular meetings and rallies of fans of the former FSO. As announced, we have also found space within our ‘walls’ for a permanent exhibition of vintage cars and we have established cooperation with Maciej Bień, a reliable partner who will run an exhibition open to all automotive fans and enthusiasts of vehicles once produced in Warsaw – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM City.
Currently, preparations are underway for the start of the exhibition of historic vehicles, including installation and maintenance of cars. A space of 5,000 sq m was dedicated to the exhibition in the building of the former Lakiernia. The exhibition will currently include an arrangement of approximately 200-300 different car models, including Syrenkas, Fiat 125p and Polonez cars manufactured in FSO Warsaw.
OKAM is very favorable towards organizing initiatives referring to the history of FSO in its area. We recently organized a rally to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the start of production, which attracted automotive enthusiasts from all over Poland – nearly 450 cars arrived at the main entrance gate! Launch at Jagiellońska St. permanent exhibition of historic vehicles is an important step towards maintaining the legacy of FSO – emphasizes Maciej Bień, organizer of the November rally and chairman of the Historic Vehicles Committee of the Automobile Club of Poland..
F.S.O. PARK will be built over a period of approximately 25 years on a plot of 62 ha located in Praga Północ in Warsaw. In September this year OKAM and its partners announced the Master Plan for this area. The architectural concept assumes the creation of a multifunctional and ecological City of the Future, taking into account modern technological solutions and sustainable development. F.S.O. PARK will be a place characterized by high quality of life, combining residential, commercial, educational, office and recreational functions. As many as 20 ha will be green areas, of which 10 ha will be the central park, and a number of ecological solutions will also be implemented.

These and other topics were discussed by Anna Watkowska, F.S.O. PARK Project Leader and Marta Sękulska-Wrońska, Architect of the F.S.O. PARK during a panel discussion on:
“Building a green future: Integration of technology in landscape architecture with OKAM – F.S.O. PARK for a better quality of life.”
Where? Warsaw Home & Contract Fair, PTAK Warsaw Expo.
Today, the annual tree planting campaign as part of the “Partnership for Climate” ended.
This year the event was organized in Białołęka. The local forest was enriched with 3,000 seedlings.
Tree planting as part of the “Partnership for Climate” is taking place for the tenth time. During this time, thanks to this initiative, a total of approx. 35,000 plants were planted. trees in various districts of the capital.
We are glad that the representation of OKAM City responsible for the implementation of F.S.O. PARK also had the opportunity to plant several dozen trees. This topic is particularly close to us because in F.S.O. PARK will include 20 ha of greenery, including a 10 ha park.
Support for Urban Forests was part of a broader campaign for climate protection and sustainable development.
OKAM City responsible for the implementation of F.S.O. PARK received the status of: Partner for Climate 2023.
“Partnership for Climate” – comprehensive, innovative educational and promotional activities related to the issue of climate change, which aim to support cities towards climate neutrality. The Platform organizes various events, including: conferences, debates, ecological actions aimed at exchanging experiences and increasing public awareness of environmental and climate protection.
The main thematic areas in which the capital city Warsaw will undertake activities under the “Partnership for Climate” which include energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, environmentally friendly transport and the promotion of an ecological lifestyle.
The partners of the “Partnership for Climate” are organizations and institutions representing very diverse environments, including: government and local government administration units, embassies, non-governmental organizations and institutions for which climate protection is a priority. In their daily activities, the partners show concern for the environment, and by participating in the “Partnership for Climate” they prove their commitment to nature conservation and building a sustainable city.
The modern EcoCentrum was established on the premises of F.S.O. PARK – 21/09/2023.
Point Zwrotny is a new place on the map of Warsaw, where you can discover the secrets of fast fashion by solving eco-puzzles. A modern EcoCentrum was established in Praga Północ, on the premises of F.S.O. PARK, on a plot belonging to OKAM City, and from today will educate mainly young people about circularity and sustainable fashion free of charge. However, it will not be standard learning, but experience and education through games!
The main theme of Punkt Zwrotny is the fashion industry – this is no coincidence, because young people build their identity, among others. through clothes, accessories and appearance. As many as 62 million tons of clothing are produced in the world annually, and every fifth item is never sold and becomes waste, and only 1 percent of clothing is recycled. Additionally, the production of clothing involves not only the use of materials, but also natural resources. Producing just one T-shirt requires using over 8,000 liters of water – almost twice as much as a standard garden swimming pool.
– Reports claim that young people are aware of changes taking place in the climate but do not have sufficient knowledge and tools to understand their consequences, which is why they often they take a passive attitude towards this phenomenon. “If I have to die anyway, let it be in fashionable shoes,” one teenager told us during interviews. This was the impulse to create an alternative form of ecological education. Game play, cooperation, good and interesting graphics, multimedia and expert knowledge provided in an interactive form are the ingredients of the recipe for Punkt Zwrotny. We have been designing innovative tools for ecological education for 10 years, and creating an interactive EcoCentrum was Mamy Projekt’s biggest dream. Come by and see for yourself how it turned out. – one of the initiators of the project, Małgosia Żmijska, from Mamy Projekt foundation, which initiated the project, encourages you to visit.
From September 21 this year school children can visit Punkt Zwrotny for free. Joanna Studzińska from Mamy Projekt foundation notes: We invite groups of school children to have fun together in four thematic rooms. In each of them, you can discover new secrets of fast fashion through puzzles and games. Players will spot manipulations in advertising and social media, see circularity in practice, when sorting waste, they will check how to read labels. During the workshops, they will save a forest cut down for viscose production and calculate how much water is needed to produce cotton. At the end, we will all meet in a round forum, where, together with the educator, we will consolidate the knowledge gained at Punkt Zwrotny.
– We are glad that this noble ecological initiative has arrived within our walls – it is the first step towards the sustainable City of the Future that we want to create in Warsaw’s Praga Północ district. Creating the concept of F.S.O. PARK, we wanted to draw more attention to the challenges of today’s world, including climate change and the noise that surrounds us, raising public awareness in this regard. Today, we are already building a community of people, companies and organizations around these topics that share our values – we are glad that Mamy Projekt is among them. The investment we are planning will be focused on ecology, including deconcreting 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.
To take part in free classes, school classes can register using the form available at: https://punktzwrotny.com/zapisy/ On weekends, Less Waste workshops, educational meetings, clothes exchanges will be held at Punkt Zwrotny, and the EcoCentrum will be cooperate with various organizations, e.g. Earth Day Every Day or the Buy Responsibly Foundation.
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.
OKAM bought factory land in Warsaw’s Praga Północ district.
This is one of the largest transactions of this type on the real estate market not only in the capital, but also throughout Poland. The area of the acquired land is 62 ha.
By purchasing this area, which was once used for car production, we achieved one thing 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 its preparation will take several years and the multi-stage implementation will take several years to come. This is another challenge we will face at OKAM. In the near future, however, we plan to take action: on making this place more attractive for current and future tenants and ensuring them the opportunity to continue their activities. It is very important for us to preserve the character of this unique place, so important in the history of the Polish automotive industry, therefore the investment will be carried out by us with respect for the past and will be preceded by consultations with interested parties. – emphasizes Arie Koren, CEO of OKAM.
This is not the first OKAM project of this type, combining modernity and the future with the historical past. The company has extensive experience in the revitalization of post-industrial areas. These include the BOHEMA – Strefa Praga investment in Warsaw’s Praga-Północ district in the area, among others former Pollena-Uroda factory. OKAM also plans to implement the project on plots of the former Danone factory. In turn, in Łódź, OKAM implemented the ŁÓDŹ.WORK investment (the area of the former Teodor Meyerhoff factory), as well as Strefa Piotrkowska 217, where Józef John’s iron foundry used to be located.
The OKAM investment in Praga Północ will be among the largest investments of this type in Warsaw, next to, for example, Miasteczko Wilanów, where, however, unlike the OKAM investment, projects were implemented by several or a dozen developers. Thanks to this, OKAM will be able to fully make this space more attractive and create a place where current tenants with whom OKAM wants 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. Today, the area already has direct access to the S8 route, full public transport (trams, buses, railway line) and bicycle paths. In the future, a metro station is also planned to be built nearby.
