With ZPI, an attractive investor vision is not enough. The success of a project depends on whether the urban and architectural concept responds to the real needs of the city, the district and the local community.
At Greenfields, we manage the entire process from start to finish – for landowners and developers who want to turn the potential of a property into a viable investment project.
✅ we assess the project’s potential and risks,
✅ we conduct comprehensive due diligence,
✅ we prepare the urban and architectural concept,
✅ we coordinate architects, urban planners, lawyers and specialist designers,
✅ we prepare the draft Integrated Investment Plan (ZPI),
✅ we conduct discussions with BAiPP, district authorities and municipal entities,
✅ we lead negotiations concerning supplementary investments and the urban planning agreement,
✅ we engage in dialogue with local residents,
✅ we prepare the project for presentation,
✅ we manage the process through to the adoption of the resolution by the City or Municipal Council.
We do not limit our role to preparing documents. We take responsibility for the consistency of the entire process and guide the project through each successive stage.
Why is experience so important?
One of our clients initially launched a project under the Lex Developer procedure independently, with the support of an external architectural practice. The project was developed in line with the team’s usual approach, but without fully taking into account the specific requirements of the procedure, local urban planning conditions and the expectations of the City.
Despite months of work and significant costs incurred, the application had no realistic prospects of success. Ultimately, the investor decided to withdraw it.
When we took over the project, we had to restart the process – already under considerable time pressure.
We reassessed the site, its surroundings, formal constraints and the reasons behind the earlier difficulties. Based on this analysis, we prepared an entirely new urban and architectural concept, developed a coherent case for the project and managed the procedure in dialogue with key stakeholders.
Today, the project is at an advanced stage and is awaiting a vote by the Warsaw City Council on the application for a Housing Investment Location Resolution (ULIM).
This short case study shows that complex planning procedures require a well-considered project, the right strategy, a thorough understanding of the process and a team capable of acting quickly while bringing multiple disciplines together into one coherent whole.
From the very beginning, we give the project the right direction, so that each successive stage moves it closer to implementation rather than leading to costly corrections of earlier decisions.
