Splot Wola takes shape. Matexi is building a district, not an estate

In Warsaw's Wola district, at the junction of Odolany and Ulrychów, Belgian developer Matexi Polska is running one of its most important developments in the capital. Splot Wola is set to comprise around 650 flats and — in line with the company's philosophy — to be part of a living district rather than a gated estate. In autumn 2025 the topping-out ceremony was held for the first phase, and the company confirmed the schedule: owners will receive their keys in the fourth quarter of 2026.

A location with ready-made urban fabric

The development at 28 Sowińskiego Street, near Wolska Street, benefits from an already-established setting. It is around ten minutes from Rondo Daszyńskiego and Wola's business district, and numerous bus and tram lines stop right by the building, giving quick access to the city centre. The immediate neighbourhood includes the Fort Wola shopping centre and green spaces — Park Sowińskiego, Moczydło Water Park and Warsaw Insurgents Park. It is a layout where residents do not have to 'commute to their life' — everyday amenities are on the doorstep. This logic of proximity is the project's core theme and fits the wider transformation of Wola, which in recent years has moved from a post-industrial district to one of the most heavily invested and most expensive parts of Warsaw.

The first phase and the cascade architecture

The first phase of Splot Wola is a building with a cascading silhouette, its height ranging from six to eight storeys. It comprises 103 units — from two to five rooms, plus two-storey flats with terraces on the top floor. The ground floor will house service units accessible both from Sowińskiego Street and from the internal courtyard. Residents also get an underground car park spread over two levels, with space for bicycles and storage units, plus landscaped courtyards and communal zones designed for neighbourly interaction.

In November 2025 the development reached shell-and-core stage — the reinforced-concrete load-bearing structure was completed, and the enclosure and party walls allowed work to begin on window and door fitting and facade works. The build, launched in late 2024, is carried out by Polish general contractor Łucz-Bud; occupancy permit is scheduled for Q3 2026, with key handover in Q4.

Offer and pricing

At the time of the topping-out ceremony, roughly half the flats remained on sale, priced from around PLN 761,000. Available units span a wide range of sizes — from just under 40 to over 120 sq m — with prices per square metre starting at around PLN 19,500. That level is typical of well-connected Wola, where demand for new flats has held up despite the market's broader slowdown. Industry data for 2025 show the number of developer agreements in Warsaw rose by around 6% year on year, while in the fourth quarter prices stabilised in most regional capitals — in the capital the average rose by around 4% year on year. In that environment, a development with ready-made urban fabric and visible construction progress has a natural advantage.

Sustainability built into the design, not bolted on afterwards

Matexi consistently builds environmental solutions into the very structure of its developments. Splot Wola includes green roofs, rain gardens with water retention, and photovoltaic panels. One notable gesture was sowing a temporary reclamation meadow — a mix of several grass species, clovers and other plants — on the still-undeveloped plot. It is a move with both an aesthetic and a reputational dimension: an empty lot turned into greenery rather than left fallow in full view of neighbours. Such micro-gestures are consistent with the language the company uses to describe all its projects — care for the 'neighbourhood', not just for floor area.

Splot Wola illustrates well how Matexi thinks about scale. It is not about a single building but about completing a fragment of the city in stages — with greenery, communal spaces and functions that make the district start working as a whole. Handover of the keys at the end of 2026 will be the first real test of that promise.
