A Major Milestone in Warsaw: ŚwiatoVida Reaches 100% Sales

All apartments at the ŚwiatoVida development, located on Pałuków Street in Warsaw’s Białołęka district, have now been sold. Sales were completed before the entire project was finished, making this achievement particularly significant for us. ŚwiatoVida marks Activ Investment’s debut on the Warsaw residential property market.

The strong sales performance has been accompanied by rapid construction progress. Building B1 is now virtually complete, while Building B2 will be delivered ahead of the original schedule. Although completion was initially planned for March 2027, construction work is now expected to conclude in 2026.

All Apartments Have Found Their Owners

ŚwiatoVida is being developed on Pałuków Street, directly adjacent to Galeria Północna shopping centre. From the outset, the project attracted considerable interest from both owner-occupiers and clients purchasing apartments as rental investments.

The success of the development was driven by a combination of functional apartment layouts, contemporary architecture and a location offering convenient access to shops, services, public transport and essential everyday amenities.

Completing apartment sales before the end of construction confirms that the project successfully responded to the needs and expectations of Warsaw’s residential property market.

Building B1 Nears Completion

Construction work on Building B1 is now almost complete. The installations, façade, roof, plasterwork, flooring and windows have all been completed. Finishing work in the common areas, as well as the landscaping of the courtyard and the area surrounding the building, is now entering its final stage.

The building has already achieved its final architectural appearance. Current work is focused primarily on final finishing, cleaning, inspections and handover preparations.

Building B2 to Be Completed Ahead of Schedule

Work on Building B2 is also progressing efficiently. The building structure and masonry walls have been completed, and all windows have been installed. The installations, plasterwork, flooring and façade are now at an advanced stage.

Construction teams have already begun interior finishing work. At the same time, landscaping work is being carried out in the courtyard and throughout the surrounding development area.

The original schedule anticipated completion of the building in March 2027. Thanks to efficient project management and the strong pace of construction, we now expect the work to be completed in 2026.

An Important Milestone for Activ Investment in Warsaw

ŚwiatoVida is Activ Investment’s first residential development in Warsaw. Selling all apartments before construction is completed confirms that clients recognised both the quality of the project and the potential of its location.

This achievement is the result of the work of the entire team involved in the development process, including project preparation, construction, sales, marketing and customer service.

We would like to thank everyone who placed their trust in us and chose ŚwiatoVida as their future home or property investment. We would also like to thank our partners and contractors for their commitment and consistent delivery of the project.

Activ Investment Remains Committed to Białołęka

The completion of sales at ŚwiatoVida does not mark the end of our presence in this part of Warsaw. We are already working on further residential projects in the Białołęka district.

Detailed information about our upcoming developments will be published on the Activ Investment website and across our social media channels.

ŚwiatoVida concludes an important chapter in our sales activity while opening the next stage of Activ Investment’s growth in Warsaw. See you soon.

The ŚwiatoVida investment, being developed on Pałuków Street in Warsaw’s Białołęka district, is entering its final stage of construction. Construction work on Building B1 is set to conclude this summer, with the first residents receiving their keys and moving into their new homes as early as this autumn.

This marks a major milestone for both the project itself and Activ Investment, as the development represents the developer’s official debut in Białołęka-one of the capital's most dynamically growing districts.

311 Apartments in the Vicinity of Galeria Północna

Located on Pałuków Street, right next to Galeria Północna, the project perfectly combines the advantages of a well-developed commercial and service infrastructure with convenient access to public transport. It is an excellent spot on the map of the flourishing Tarchomin area.

The development comprises a total of 311 modern apartments. Thanks to well-thought-out layouts, the offer perfectly meets the needs of individuals looking for their own home in Warsaw, as well as investment clients planning a secure buy-to-let purchase.

Building B1

The most intensive work is currently focused on Building B1. We are rapidly approaching the finish line here, with construction work scheduled for completion during the summer holidays. What does this mean for future residents? They will start collecting the keys to their new apartments before autumn arrives, giving them the perfect amount of time to finish their interiors and move in.

Work Progressing on Building B2

Building B2 is also transforming, looking more like the final design with each passing day. The focus has now shifted to the installation of a modern facade and the precise finishing of the interiors and common areas. Concurrently, construction crews are taking care of the buildings' surroundings, tidying up the site and preparing the outdoor areas.

At this stage, ŚwiatoVida is taking on its true, metropolitan rhythm. The investment is smoothly transitioning from the raw construction phase into a finished, vibrant landmark on the map of Białołęka-featuring modern apartments, convenient commercial units, and aesthetically designed green spaces.

Last Investment Apartments Up for Sale

The ŚwiatoVida offer now features the last remaining 2-room investment units with a residential function (subject to a 23% VAT rate). This is an ideal proposition for those looking to securely allocate capital and generate rental income. Key advantages? A highly developed infrastructure, excellent connectivity with the rest of Warsaw, and the massive potential of the rental market in this area.

Activ Investment Stays in Białołęka

ŚwiatoVida is our official debut in this part of the capital, but we already know it will not be our last. We are pleased to share that we are currently finalizing the purchase of another plot of land in this district.

The new project is still in a very early planning stage, so details will be shared at a later date. One thing is certain: Białołęka-as one of the fastest-growing areas in Warsaw-remains a key direction for Activ Investment’s future growth.

The success of ŚwiatoVida clearly confirms the immense potential of the Galeria Północna area. This location perfectly blends residential living with full access to services, retail, and public transport. For future residents, this simply means everyday convenience, while for investors, it provides strong market advantages that will ensure steady tenant interest for years to come.

Real Estate Market 2026: Why Poland Is Outpacing Germany

As of March 2026, the situation is clear: while the German real estate market is losing momentum, Poland is experiencing a strong upswing. Germany is struggling with bureaucracy and rising costs that have significantly slowed down new developments. Meanwhile, projects in Poland continue to move forward at full speed. Thomas Podstawski (CEO of Podstawski Group and leader of Activ Investment) explains why investors are increasingly turning to Poland in the latest episode of the Kaffeepause by KONII podcast.

Scale as the Foundation of Credibility

In the real estate development industry, credibility is built through execution, not declarations. The only real foundation of trust is a tangible, high-quality end product.

Podstawski Group enters 2026 with a portfolio of over 7,000 completed residential units in Poland. This is not just a number - it demonstrates the ability to operate effectively within the local system, from administrative processes to construction delivery.

At the same time, the group is expanding its own rental portfolio - currently around 330 units - which serves as a real-world test of profitability and tenant behavior.

From a foreign investor’s perspective, this is critical. Poland is no longer an “early-stage” market. It is an environment that:

• operates within predictable legal frameworks,
• is managed by experienced, operationally efficient players,
• offers margins that are no longer achievable in Germany.

Polish Efficiency vs. German Constraints

One of the most frequently highlighted differences is the cost of project delivery. This is not driven by cheaper materials - these are priced similarly across Europe. The key lies in systemic factors:

• shorter and more predictable administrative procedures,
• lower regulatory burden,
• greater operational flexibility for developers.

The Math of Profit: Speed and Capital Efficiency

In practice, these differences translate into measurable economic outcomes. Projects in Poland are characterized by:

• higher capital turnover due to shorter development cycles,
• lower capital expenditure (CAPEX),
• more attractive net returns.

For Western investors, the conclusion is straightforward: Poland currently offers one of the most favorable risk-to-reward ratios in the region. This is where investment fundamentals still work, while in Germany they are becoming increasingly difficult to justify.

Student Living: A Segment That Could Reshape the Market

While the Build-to-Sell model has long been the backbone of the Polish development sector, the market is maturing and opening up to new investment formats. One of the most promising is Student Housing, which - according to Thomas Podstawski - has the potential to become one of the most attractive real estate segments in Poland.

This represents not just a shift in product, but a shift in investment logic: from one-off sales toward stable operational income and long-term asset value creation. With growing demand for well-designed, professionally managed student accommodation, this segment addresses a clear market gap. Compared to more mature and often less flexible Western European markets, Poland has the capacity to scale this sector faster and more efficiently.

“In Poland, we are not just looking for volume - we are looking for profitability that has become mathematically impossible in Germany. Student Living is our way of ‘reawakening’ the market and proving that professional asset management can generate returns that are currently out of reach in Berlin.” - Thomas Podstawski

Conclusion: From Alternative to First-Choice Market

Poland is increasingly shifting from being seen as an alternative to becoming a primary destination for residential capital. This is driven by three key factors:

• strong and stable domestic demand,
• a rapidly developing rental sector, including formats such as Student Living,
• higher investment efficiency in terms of both execution speed and return potential.

Against the backdrop of the German market - where investors face cost pressure and limited project viability - Poland remains a market where capital can be deployed more efficiently. For many investors, this is no longer a matter of preference, but a rational business decision.
