The city announced that in the coming years it is planning to renovate a total of 43 such tenement houses in five districts.
The work is already underway on 20 buildings, and in some cases it is almost finished - with quite a stunning result too. These starting 20 will supplement the Polish capital city's municipal housing stock over the five upcoming years.
"Our priority is to restore abandoned, often ruined buildings so that they can be properly used again, especially for residential purposes. We are gradually completing ownership issues - and after analysing their rationality and usability, we are including more and more buildings in this program."
- said Aldona Machnowska-Góra, Warsaw's Deputy Mayor.
"It is a long and very complicated process, which is why the list of tenement houses designated for renovation is still not closed. In addition to the construction of completely new apartments and renovation of vacant buildings - we hope this program to become another pillar of Warsaw's housing policy"
- the Deputy Mayor emphasized.
The tenement houses designated for renovation under the program are located in virtually all districts of the city where such older structures are present. The buildings are renovated and equipped with a new city-network-connected central heating system, as well as adapted to the modern technical, fire protection and accessibility standards.
For all investments, the city has been applying to the National Economy Bank BGK for support from the Subsidy Fund. Since 2018, such a help received has exceeded EUR 72,5 million, a third of which was paid in 2024. In addition, further applications were already submitted for the following period, for an amount exceeding EUR 25 million.
In the years 2018-2023, 21 such decommissioned tenement houses (346 residential premises) were modernised, thermal modernization was carried out in 40 more structures (828 premises) - and 10,566 vacant premises scattered across various Warsaw's buildings were renovated in total.
