Construction of Drucianka Campus, a mixed-use development by Liebrecht & wooD Poland in Warsaw’s Praga-Północ district, has entered a key phase. The project, being developed on the site of the former Drucianka wire factory near the modernised Warszawa Wschodnia railway station, is scheduled for completion in 2028 and will deliver nearly 38,000 sq m of office, retail and service space.
Liebrecht & wooD, which has operated in the Polish market for more than 30 years, is redeveloping the former Warsaw Wire, Pins and Nails Factory, continuing its regeneration strategy following the successful Centrum Praskie Koneser project. The development combines the restoration of historic industrial buildings with new commercial space and public amenities.
Upon completion, Drucianka Campus will comprise approximately 30,000 sq m of office space and 8,000 sq m of retail and service facilities. The developer describes the project as a mixed-use business campus designed to support companies in attracting and retaining employees by providing modern workplaces alongside retail, dining and leisure amenities.
According to a survey conducted by Kantar Polska among employees at Centrum Praskie Koneser, 80% of respondents said working in a revitalised mixed-use environment had a positive impact on their wellbeing.
Magdalena Bartkiewicz-Podoba, CEO of Liebrecht & wooD Poland, said the quality of the workplace has become an increasingly important factor in companies’ competitiveness and talent retention. She said Drucianka Campus has been designed to combine historic and contemporary architecture with green spaces, modern technologies and a broad range of retail, dining and event facilities, while benefiting from direct access to one of Warsaw’s largest transport hubs.
Drucianka Campus is being developed on the border of the Praga-Północ and Praga-Południe districts, within the area covered by the New City Centre Warsaw urban regeneration programme.
The project is located close to three major transport interchanges: Warszawa Wschodnia, Dworzec Wileński and Warszawa Stadion, providing access to suburban, regional and long-distance rail services, Metro Line M2, as well as an extensive tram and bus network.
Warszawa Wschodnia station is currently undergoing a comprehensive modernisation programme due for completion in 2029. Following redevelopment, the station is expected to handle more than 50,000 passengers per day. It will also be directly integrated with the planned Metro Line M3, making it the only railway station in Warsaw where passengers will be able to transfer directly to the metro without leaving the station building.
Marc Lebbe, Managing Partner at Liebrecht & wooD, said the continuing transformation of Praga-Północ, including projects delivered under the New City Centre Warsaw programme, the redevelopment of Warszawa Wschodnia station and the future Metro Line M3, will significantly improve the district’s accessibility and support further urban development. He added that Drucianka Campus and Centrum Praskie Koneser are intended to play an important role in that transformation.
The wider regeneration area is also attracting residential investment. Drucianka Campus will be surrounded by new housing developments, including Drucianka Wschodnia, being developed by SGI, together with additional residential schemes planned by other developers.
The development is being delivered in line with Liebrecht & wooD’s ESG strategy and has been designed to minimise its environmental impact. The buildings are expected to achieve BREEAM Outstanding certification, the highest rating under the environmental assessment system, reflecting advanced sustainability and energy-efficiency standards.
Bartkiewicz-Podoba said the project has been planned with a long-term perspective and is being delivered using a construction management model, allowing the developer to retain greater control over quality, scheduling and project execution. She added that the company expects Drucianka Campus to become one of the developments that will contribute to the long-term transformation of Warsaw’s Praga-Północ district.
