The city of Gdynia is preparing to deliver a new public park in its central district, as part of a wider effort to upgrade underused urban space and introduce more greenery into the city centre.
The project will transform a neglected area into an open-access park designed for daily use, with pedestrian paths, seating areas and landscaped greenery. Plans also include lighting, bicycle facilities and features aimed at improving water management and supporting biodiversity, such as rain gardens.
Invest Komfort is contributing to the project under an agreement with the municipality, covering around half of the construction costs. The company’s financial contribution amounts to nearly PLN 1.8 million, with the total value of the investment estimated at approximately PLN 3.6 million. Completion is scheduled for autumn 2026.
The park will be located next to the Miasto GDY development, a residential and mixed-use scheme currently under construction on Władysława IV Street. The project will include 86 apartments and ground-floor commercial units, aimed at introducing additional activity and services to the area.
“The city park in the heart of Gdynia fits into the vision for the city centre, in which we deeply believe and which naturally combines residential buildings, services and public space,” said Michał Ciomek, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board at Invest Komfort. “We treated our development, Miasto GDY, right from the design stage as a gateway leading directly from the hustle and bustle of Władysława IV Street to the tranquillity of the park and the existing buildings on Abrahama Street.”
The Miasto GDY scheme has been designed by JEMS Architekci, drawing on architectural elements typical of Gdynia’s modernist heritage, including light façades and extensive glazing. The project will also feature shared spaces and underground parking, alongside private outdoor areas for each apartment.
Invest Komfort’s involvement extends beyond the residential scheme. In addition to financing part of the park’s construction, the company has also supported the preparation of design documentation for the public space.
“The new urban layout will revitalise this part of the city, enabling both existing service premises and new tenants to operate more effectively, introducing natural pedestrian traffic and complementing everyday functions. It will become a catalyst for movement, energy and relationships,” Ciomek added.
According to the city’s timeline, the park is expected to be completed by the end of November 2026, while the residential development is scheduled to be launched in the second half of the year.
