Dekpol Developer has begun development of the Silva Maris residential and hospitality project on Sobieszewska Island, located near Gdańsk. The scheme is positioned within a coastal and forest setting close to the Ptasi Raj nature reserve and approximately 500 metres from a Blue Flag-certified beach.
The area is characterised by protected natural habitats, including bird migration routes and coastal ecosystems. Local infrastructure includes walking trails, cycling routes and observation points.
The Silva Maris complex is planned to comprise nine buildings, including seven apartment buildings with around 500 units, a commercial building with a restaurant, and a hotel with wellness facilities. Building heights will range from one to five storeys. In the first phase, units will range from approximately 33 sq m to 122 sq m, with launch prices starting from PLN 1,059,000 gross.
The development will include surface and underground parking, as well as new access infrastructure, including a road connection from Turystyczna Street, street lighting and a pedestrian walkway.
“The apartment can function as a private second home or as an investment property in a rental model, and the support of a professional operator provides the owner with flexibility and ease of daily operation,” said Rafał Skonieczny, Sales Director and Member of the Management Board at Dekpol Developer.
The architectural concept draws on principles of biophilic architecture, with design elements intended to integrate the buildings into the surrounding landscape. Materials such as wood, stone and glass are planned, alongside features including green roofs, rainwater collection systems and electric vehicle charging points. The layout includes irregular building placement and landscaped areas incorporating dunes, coastal vegetation and pine trees.
“In such a sensitive natural setting, there could only be one starting point—biophilia. From the outset, we knew that the goal wasn’t to place architecture alongside nature, but to allow it to grow from the landscape in an organic and respectful way. I believe that the less we disrupt the ecosystem of this place, the more it will ultimately give back to people—peace, balance, and a sense of being part of a greater whole. For us, biophilia is not an aesthetic, but a way of thinking about space that restores the bond between humans and nature,” said Paulina Czurak-Czapiewska, architect and board member at Dekpol Developer.
The site previously accommodated a military facility and later the Alma II resort, which ceased operations in 2015. The land has since remained undeveloped. The current project aligns with local zoning provisions and reintroduces a defined use for the area.
Dekpol Developer has previously delivered projects on Sobieszewska Island, including the Solmarina complex, located approximately 2.5 kilometres from the Silva Maris site.
The development is planned in phases. Completion of the initial phase is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026, with full project completion expected in the first quarter of 2028. The architectural design has been prepared by Paulina Czurak-Czapiewska in collaboration with Ideograf studio.
