Warszawa Wyborcza released yesterday an article about the project IMPLANT located at Chmielna 75 on the site of a former Postal Station. 3 years after the beginning of the works, the project has been abandoned due to multiple factors, mainly due to the pandemic. The project is not 100% over and should be built in another plot of the Capital. Also, the same plot in the center of Warsaw, attractive, could interest many investors.
