The new concept was designed by Grupa 5 Architekci. The buildings will be shifted towards the planned road, increasing the distance from the nearest homes. Additional landscaping will help screen the development from the residential area.
We carefully analysed residents’ concerns and treated them as an important part of the work on the project. The changes introduced significantly increase the distance between the development and the residential area.
Ilona Śmigasiewicz, Data Center Development Director at Hillwood Polska
The planned campus will occupy more than 22 ha between Aleje Jerozolimskie and the Warsaw Commuter Railway (WKD) line. The project comprises four independent buildings that can be operated separately by different companies. Hillwood plans to start with the smallest building, located next to Aleje Jerozolimskie and furthest from the residential area.
Each building will undergo separate administrative and environmental procedures. Hillwood says the cumulative impact of the entire campus, including noise and emissions, will also be assessed during subsequent stages.
The developer has also addressed concerns over so-called “salami slicing”, or dividing a larger development into smaller projects to simplify the approval process. According to Hillwood, the division into four buildings results from planning conditions and the intention for each building to operate independently and accommodate different operators. The company says phasing is not intended to limit the scope of the required environmental assessments.
Hillwood also says the project will incorporate measures to limit noise, water consumption and light spill beyond the site. According to the company, the data centre will generate relatively little traffic associated with routine operations.
We want to develop this project responsibly. Dialogue with the local community has already led to concrete changes to the concept.
