The Warsaw City Council will vote on a sale of a 1.6‑ha plot at Okopowa 78 in the Wola district during its Thursday session, a decision that could bring the municipality up to 300 million zlotys.
City Council to Approve Sale of Okopowa 78 Plot
The Warsaw City Council will convene on Thursday to discuss a resolution granting consent to sell a 1.6‑ha municipal plot at Okopowa 78 in the Wola district.
Historic Industrial Complex on the Site
The parcel houses a sprawling post‑industrial complex that once belonged to the Garbarska Temler i Szwede tannery, one of pre‑war Poland’s largest.
The building, erected from the second half of the 19th century, is listed as a historic monument and has been abandoned for years, showing visible damage and neglect.
Estimated Value and Potential Revenue
Public estimates put the property’s value at roughly 300 million zlotys, placing it among the most expensive municipal lands up for sale in Warsaw.
With its prime location in Wola, the plot could yield hundreds of millions for city coffers, potentially earmarked for infrastructure, transport, education or municipal projects.
Implications for Urban Development
Approval of the sale signals a shift in how the city intends to use the land, though specific buyers and terms remain undecided.
Future investors would face high costs to adapt the historic sections for new uses and must coordinate renovations with regional and city heritage conservators.
Next Steps and Decision Timeline
The council’s decision is a prerequisite for launching a tender or other sales procedure; subsequent documents will detail conditions and target buyers.
The Thursday vote is a key point in the council’s agenda on municipal asset management.
