EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny sums up 2024.

Thanks to joint efforts, in 2024, the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny, operating since September 2023 at the FSO Main Gate, has already been visited by almost 15,000 people – mainly young people aged 12+ participating in free educational activities. This is an extremely important mission that contributes to building awareness of circularity and a responsible approach to the environment. We are glad that we can educate young generations together and introduce real changes.

The EkoCentrum also received the prestigious honorary patronage of the President of the Capital City of Warsaw. This distinction is proof that the activities of the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny for environmental protection have been appreciated at the highest local level.

Educational activities at the EkoCentrum are in line not only with the values ​​on the basis of which the concept of the future F.S.O. PARK investment was created, but also fit into the framework of ESRS S4 – Consumers and end users, and also contribute to the implementation of Goal 4 – Good quality education.

Next year, the EcoCentrum is planning to further develop and expand its scope of activities, expanding its target group to include children. Together, we can do even more for the climate and conscious education of future generations. We encourage you to continue joint initiatives and get involved in further activities.

More students learn about the history and future of the former FSO area.

On December 21, another group of a dozen or so extramural students of the Leon Kozminski Academy, together with Professor Tomasz Olejniczak, learned about the history of FSO as part of their “History of Business” classes, as well as OKAM’s intentions related to transforming this space into F.S.O. PARK.
The 3-hour tour began at the Main Gate, then passed the Welding, Assembly, Press and Paint Shop halls, where students could also hear about the history of motoring, and view over 300 exhibits gathered in the automotive “Exhibition in Factory” created in cooperation with Maciej Bień..

Both education and historical heritage are among the main values ​​on the basis of which the architectural concept of the F.S.O. PARK Master Plan was created.

The revitalization of this area is a huge opportunity for this space, but also a great responsibility for OKAM.

The General Meeting of the Partners of the “Partnership for Climate” Platform.

Today, the General Meeting of the Partners of the “Partnership for Climate” Platform was held at EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny in the Main Gate of the FSO. OKAM City with F.S.O. PARK are also members of this Platform.

The main theme of the meeting was energy transformation and the circular economy, as well as a summary of the platform’s activities in 2024 and plans for 2025.

The aim of the “Partnership for Climate” Platform is to conduct comprehensive, innovative educational and promotional activities related to the issue of climate change, supporting the city’s pursuit of climate neutrality, together with the Partners. As part of the Platform, events of a diverse nature are organized, including conferences, debates, ecological campaigns, which aim to exchange experiences and increase public awareness of environmental protection and climate.

The main thematic areas in which the capital city of Warsaw will take action under the “Partnership for Climate” are energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, environmentally friendly transport and the promotion of an ecological lifestyle.

The cooperation is coordinated by the Office of Air Protection and Climate Policy (BOPiPK).

Such activities are very important to us. Ecology and education are among the main values ​​that are the foundation of the F.S.O. PARK concept, while energy issues are closely related to F.S.O. ENERGY HUB.

New quality of energy efficiency in OKAM investments!

On Wednesday, November 27, the management board of F.S.O. Energy Hub, a company belonging to the OKAM group, signed a strategic framework agreement with DB Energy SA. Its purpose is comprehensive cooperation of the parties in the area of ​​energy efficiency for development investments carried out under the OKAM brand. The agreement was concluded for a period of 10 years.

Cooperation between DB Energy and F.S.O. Energy Hub assumes the implementation of projects related to energy efficiency and zero emissions in residential and commercial construction. Joint activities of both entities aim to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings and minimize their impact on the environment. Thanks to this, tenants will be able to enjoy comfortable conditions of use, while reducing energy expenses.

The initiative is another step by OKAM towards promoting and developing pro-ecological solutions in the construction industry. As emphasized by Anna Watkowska, Member of the Management Board of OKAM City and OKAM Capital, Leader of the F.S.O. PARK, responsible for the project at OKAM:

– Establishing this cooperation is the result of hard work by teams on both sides, but at the same time another manifestation of the strategic vision that we consistently implement at OKAM in all our investments. Its foundations are our values ​​and the commitments we make in connection with sustainable development. This cooperation will translate into real benefits for both our customers and the environment.

As part of the cooperation, DB Energy SA will be responsible for a number of pro-environmental areas, including the implementation of energy audits and consulting in the field of energy generation, trade and distribution. Additionally, the company will prepare design concepts and financial analyses for individual projects implemented by OKAM. DB Energy SA engineers will also manage investment projects to achieve the best possible financial results.

– Cooperation with F.S.O. Energy Hub gives us the opportunity to take care of efficient energy sources and its proper distribution through properly designed networks and connections at a very early stage of the investment. This also applies to large development investments, where we co-create entire housing estates. The right mix of sources allows us to optimize not only emissions, but also energy costs. Not only for businesses, but also for home recipients who, thanks to the appropriate scale of operations, can benefit from solutions that have not been available in residential construction so far – commented Dr Eng. Piotr Danielski, Vice President and co-founder of DB Energy SA.

The agreement between DB Energy SA and F.S.O. Energy Hub Sp. z o.o. entered into force on the day of its signing.

A walk with students from the Leon Koźmiński Academy around the former FSO premises.

On November 22, 31 full-time students of Kozminski University and their lecturer discovered the history of the former FSO and learned about the plans for transforming this place into F.S.O. PARK during an educational walk around the former FSO.
The event was organized as part of the “History of Business” coursce, implemented at the University since 2017. The program regularly includes visits to historical places and museums in Warsaw and the surrounding area, allowing students to have direct contact with the industrial heritage of the city and observe the process of its transformation.

Urszula Karczmarczyk – Head of Marketing OKAM City together with Maciej Bień – founder and director of the automotive “Exhibition in the Factory” led a walk during which students learned about both the industrial history of this place and the plans for the transformation of the place – revitalization and giving new functions to the buildings became the focal point of the discussions during this visit.

– During the walk, students could see what the area of ​​the former FSO plant currently looks like, but also familiarize themselves with OKAM’s vision of giving this place a new life. A sustainable, ecological, and most importantly, friendly and open City of the Future will be created here under the F.S.O. PARK banner, which will change this post-industrial area. At the same time, selected buildings or their fragments will undergo revitalization and, as part of the new functionalities, will become an integral part of the investment – ​​says Urszula Karczmarczyk.

The walk route included key points of the former factory: the Main Gate, the Welding Shop, the Assembly Shop, the Press Shop with the characteristic snail and the Paint Shop. In the latter, students could admire an automotive exhibition with over 300 exhibits, including cars manufactured in FSO: Warsaw, Syrenka, Fiat 125p and Polonez, as well as motorcycles, bicycles, fuel dispensers and engines.

We like such meetings, after all, education is one of the main values ​​that were the basis for creating the concept of the F.S.O. PARK Master Plan.

Enterprising women from Praga Północ – meet them!

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.

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.

2,000 ivy plants as part of the `Partnership for Climate` project.

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.

18,000 sq m of space rented on the former FSO premises.

In the last three months, we have concluded new lease agreements and renewed contracts with several companies for the lease of space at 88 Jagiellońska street in Praga Północ in Warsaw, almost 18,000 sq m.
They include, among others: a 3D printing house, a notary’s office, a company specializing in steel structures, a clothing retail wholesaler, an educational institution and a courier company.

We are also in talks with other potential clients for the lease of an additional approx. 9,000 sq m.

• We have concluded further lease agreements this year and extended the existing ones, and we are also in the process of negotiating lease terms with several new entities. This confirms that our property is constantly enjoying great interest. Among its attributes are, above all, the location with excellent communication, diverse areas and flexible lease terms. – emphasizes Marcin Zakrzewski, Leasing Manager OKAM City.

Congratulations to all those involved in the commercialization process of our former FSO property.

Keep up the good work. Great job!

World Energy Day.

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!

Trees in the city – eco workshops at the EkoCentrum Punkt Zwrotny.

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: ppn_srodowisko@um.warszawa.pl

Free admission.

National Education Day.

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.

World Tree Day.

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!

ESG in action – The future of urban space on the example of F.S.O. PARK.

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! 🌍🏙️

World Housing Day.

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.

Plans for the Future 2024 – Building a community around values, as exemplified by F.S.O. PARK.

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.

PULSE Architecture & Design – 02-03/10/2024.

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.

04/10/2024 – „Senior Days” at Galeria Wileńska – FEEL INVITED.

This coming Friday, October 4th, Galeria Wileńska together with the A.R.T. Foundation, under the patronage of the Mayor of Praga Północ Gabriela Szustek, and with the support of partners including OKAM / F.S.O. PARK, is organizing a unique event for seniors.

Warsaw off ART – 26-29/09/2024.

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.

September 22nd “Car-Free Day”.

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 😊

European Sustainable Development Week – 18/09-08/10/2024.

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.

PROPERTY FORUM 2024 – Demolish or revitalize?

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.

The automotive ‘Exhibition in the factory’ at the future F.S.O. PARK investment site has been opened.

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

Non-Governmental Organizations Picnic and Haller Square Celebration.

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 😊

ECO-PICNIC at the front of Main Gate of FSO.

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:

F.S.O. PARK with the Recommendation of the Sustainable Architecture Circle.

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 😊

Smart Heritage: A Case Study of the F.S.O. PARK Project.

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!

Matiz rally.

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” is over.

“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.

“Serduszko Cup” football tournament – ​​Together for children!

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.

Real Estate Market Forum, Sopot.

On June 6-7, 2024, the Real Estate Market Forum, one of the largest real estate events, took place.

We were among the participants, and Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital, acted as a speaker in the discussion panel entitled “Land Hunting – Time to Start.”

The topic of land and brownfield investments is extremely close to OKAM’s activities.

– OKAM’s portfolio includes both completed and planned projects, thanks to which degraded areas will gain a new life. Among them in Warsaw are: BOHEMA – Strefa Praga (the area of ​​the former Pollena factory), CITYFLOW (after the Danone factory), F.S.O. PARK (after the former Passenger Car Factory), and in Łódź: Strefa PROGRESS or Strefa Piotrkowska 217 (after Józef John’s iron foundry) and the ŁÓDŹ.WORK and NOW projects (the area after the Meyerhoff factory) – said Marcin Michalec, CEO of OKAM Capital, panelist discussion during REMF.

As history shows, OKAM is not afraid of challenges and is constantly developing its land bank, including thematically complex and unique plots. One might be tempted to say that key phrases such as “post-industrial areas” and “revitalizations” should permanently appear in the OKAM dictionary. The company, through revitalization works, brings post-industrial areas back to life, giving them new functionalities that respond to contemporary market needs.

Over 10,000 visitors in Punkt Zwrotny!

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

Thank you: #MamyProjekt, #EkoCentrumPunktZwrotny and all partners.

The first vegetables and fruits in the area of the future F.S.O. PARK investment planted.

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 🙂

Dialogue about phase I of the F.S.O. PARK investment finished!

The dialogue on phase I of the F.S.O. PARK investment has ended!

Between April 15 and May 15 this year:
👉 There were 6 information meetings and dialogue shifts, attended by 109 people.
👉 43 opinions and inquiries about the investment were submitted via the website www.fso-park.pl/dialog

A report summarizing the dialogue will be published on the project website by mid-June this year.

– We would like to thank everyone who took part in the organized meetings, as well as those who left their votes on the investment website. Conversations with interested parties and the surrounding local community, learning their needs and concerns are of great importance to us, due to the fact that F.S.O. PARK will also be created with her in mind. We are fully ready to continue cooperation with all interested parties, including local residents and the local government – says Anna Watkowska, Member of the Management Board of OKAM City and Leader of the F.S.O. PARK.

As part of stage I of the F.S.O. investment PARK located in Praga Północ at ul. Jagiellońska 88, approximately 2,000 apartments, approximately 60 commercial and service premises, a public primary school and a fragment of a central park will be built.

Work in this phase of the investment is planned to start in 2025 and will last approximately 10 years.

11th of May is “No Littering Day”. We say YES!

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 BOHEMY 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!

Spring cleaning of the wardrobe – Let’s do something good for ourselves and the planet.

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.

#EarthDay in the area of the future F.S.O. PARK investment.

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..

 Media representatives.

Dialogue about phase I of F.S.O. PARK has started!

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.

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.

On March 22, we celebrate World Water Day established by the UN

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!

10 new lease contracts on the plot of the former FSO in Warsaw.

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.”

We would like to thank all people involved in the transaction!
