Central Point Office Tower in Warsaw Acquired by New Owner

The Central Point office building in central Warsaw has been acquired by a new owner, with Savills providing advisory services during the transaction process.

Located at the intersection of Marszałkowska and Świętokrzyska streets, the property was completed in 2021 and rises 93 metres above one of the capital’s key public transport hubs, where Warsaw’s two metro lines intersect. The building provides modern office accommodation in the city’s central business district.

During the acquisition process, assessments were carried out covering technical, environmental and sustainability-related aspects of the property. The review also included an examination of the building’s structural solutions, reflecting its location above active metro infrastructure.

“In today’s market environment, the scope of Due Diligence has evolved. For our clients, the key consideration is no longer only technical safety, but increasingly also compliance with growing sustainability requirements. In the case of Central Point, we carried out detailed ESG Due Diligence (ESGDD) and Environmental Due Diligence (EDD), providing the investor with a substantive basis for assessing the building’s risks and attributes from an environmental and ESG perspective,” said Ilona Otoka, Director of ESG and Sustainability at Savills Poland.

According to Bartłomiej Polnik, Senior Project & Development Manager in Savills Poland’s Building & Project Consultancy team, the building’s construction required specialised engineering solutions because of its location above the Świętokrzyska metro station and the infrastructure of both metro lines.

“Central Point is a unique engineering project on the Polish market. The 93-metre-high building was constructed directly above the infrastructure of two metro lines, which required the application of non-standard engineering solutions. The building has foundations only in selected locations, where the structure extends to a depth of 39 metres. Loads from the section suspended above the station are transferred through specialised tension elements,” he said.

The seller in the transaction was CP Development. Neither the buyer nor the financial terms of the acquisition were disclosed.
