Saski Point at 111 Marszałkowska Street is set to undergo the biggest change in its nearly 30-year history. Instead of offices, an intimate apartment block with amenities and communal spaces for residents is to be built here. The developer will retain the existing building, adapting it for residential use.
Saski Point by the Saxon Garden
Saski Point occupies the corner of Marszałkowska and Królewska Streets, opposite Saski Garden. Nearby are Plac Bankowy and the Ratusz Arsenał metro station. The building was constructed in the late 1990s. The design was drawn up in 1998, and construction took place between 1999 and 2000. Saski Point has a total floor area of approximately 11,986 square metres, a lettable area of around 8,300 square metres, and a car park with 91 spaces. In 2012, plans were considered to demolish it and replace it with three 16-storey office blocks. However, the idea was not carried out.
Flats instead of offices
At the end of 2024, Roceporthill Investments purchased Saski Point from CA Immo for approximately 23.9 million euros. In 2025, an application was submitted for planning permission for a residential building with retail and service facilities. The developer subsequently obtained a planning decision and applied for a permit for conversion and extension, along with a change of use. On 19 January 2026, a decision was issued concerning a multi-family residential building with a retail and services section and an underground car park. This relic from the late 1990s is therefore to be preserved and adapted to its new function.
Saski Point is a major challenge
According to the developer, the building is set to house around 45–60 units ranging in size from 50 to 150 square metres. There will be few, if any, small studio flats. The ground floor will house amenities, including the planned gym, and residents will also have access to communal spaces. The Warsaw-based practice JSK Architekci is responsible for the building’s refurbishment project. The biggest challenge will be transforming a building originally designed for large offices into flats that require adequate natural light, acoustics, ventilation, services and privacy. It will therefore be more than just a simple interior refurbishment.
A new lease of life for a 1990s office block
Saski Point is an example of the increasingly common trend in Warsaw of converting older office blocks into flats. Completed in 1999, the building’s main asset today is its exceptional location. Some older office blocks are losing their competitive edge against newer developments. In 2025, approximately 62,000 square metres of office space was withdrawn from the Warsaw market. The redevelopment project for the building on Marszałkowska Street is currently at the formal planning stage; the final design of the façade and the scope of changes to the building’s structure have not yet been published.
