FAQ
When will the construction of Portowo begin?
Construction of the Portowo residential development will begin in 2024 after selecting the General Contractor. In the first stage 11 residential buildings will be built further from the banks of the river, with 377 apartments ranging in size from 28 to 135 square meters.
The development is located on the Warta River. Will it be protected against flooding?
This area is completely safe and has been approved as an area for residential development in the Local Zoning Plan for this part of the city of Poznań. Furthermore we ordered also a detailed expert opinion on potential flooding risks which has been developed by a team of hydrologists from the University of Life Sciences in Poznań. It clearly shows that we are no flooding risks there. Such floods, which could impact Portowo or even the Old Market Square located at the same height above the sea level, have so far occurred once every 1,235 years. Currently, in the face of the global warming, desertification of Wielkopolska and therefore lowering levels of the groundwater, the risk of flooding is objectively excluded.
Moreover, from January 1, 2018 with the entry into force of the Water Law, construction in flood areas is impossible. We would not have obtained a building permit if the flood threat was real.

At earlier stages of investment planning, visualizations of very attractive waterfront facilities were shared: footbridges, piers, terraces. Why is it not currently planned to build such small waterfront architecture devices?
We are still planning an attractive arrangement of the waterfront and we treat previous visualizations as a valuable inspiration. For now, the final designs of detailed solutions in this area have not yet been developed. However, it is known that the construction of a footbridge across the Warta River is unlikely due to the high degree of legal complications and the significant cost of building such devices, which would have a direct impact on the price of apartments.
How will the waterfront be developed?
The waterfront will serve recreational purposes for both walkers and people who want to use the water. In the next stages of construction, a marina will be created for motorboats, boats, kayaks, etc.
Will there be green areas in Portowo?
Plantings of high-quality greenery are planned. In the first stage of construction approximately 100 adult trees will be planted, which is more than the compensation required by the environmental decision. Ultimately, green areas will constitute approximately 30% of the total area of the estate.
What types of parking spaces are included in the design?
The project includes 356 parking spaces in halls and 45 outdoor spaces, as well as 392 bike racks.
Will there be a playground, kindergarten, health clinic and service premises in the estate?
The first stage of the development includes a large and attractive playground in the green courtyard and 9 service premises. A kindergarten and a health care facility will be built in the later stages of the development of the project.
When will apartment rentals begin?
Apartment rentals will commence only after the completion of construction works, which is in 2026. Our apartments will be ready for occupancy from the first day after signing the lease agreement, equipped with fit-out, furniture, and accessories. Tenants will have the opportunity to view the apartments of their interest and then decide whether to sign the lease agreement. They will first see if they like, for example, the kitchen countertop, bathroom fixtures, or the view from the window, and only then decide to sign the agreement to move into the selected premises practically immediately.
What distinguishes the apartments offered as part of the Osiedle Portowo investment from the offerings of other developers?
The estate is located in a beautiful part of Poznań by the Warta River, nestled in nature, yet excellently connected to the city center. Eventually, upon completion of all phases, it will become a self-sufficient, intimate town with all amenities and services including education, childcare, public transportation, commerce, sports, and medical services. Oriented towards the river, it will encourage outdoor activities in nature. You will be able to move into your new apartment from the first day after signing the lease agreement. Apartments in the first phase will be fully finished and furnished.
Will each apartment have a balcony?
All apartments will have balconies, terraces or little gardens.
Will the tenant have an influence on the choice of apartment equipment?
We offer tenants complete and high-quality equipment from respected and recognized brands. We will strive to ensure that the equipment offered meets all the needs of our tenants, however, each tenant will be able to supplement their rented apartments with elements they deem necessary for living according to their own preferences.
Does the investor allow modifications to the projects, including the layout of rooms in the apartment according to the individual preferences of tenants?
The apartments have been designed in multiple variations and diverse layouts, and they will only be available for rent once they are fully completed. There won't be any possibility for customizations upon clients' requests, therefore upon commencing the rental process, we encourage tenants to visit and choose from the already completed units.
What will be the standard of rental apartments in Portowo?
You can move into Portowo from the first day after signing the lease agreement because the apartments are fully ready for occupancy. Our standard for rental apartments includes: fully finished walls, floors, skirting boards, built-in wardrobes, and fully functional and equipped bathrooms and kitchens. In addition to built-in fixtures, our apartments will be furnished with essential living items such as: beds in bedrooms, sofas, tables with chairs, lamps in all rooms, and coffee tables.
