Ursus Classic — full review

Ursus Classic is the Czech UDI Group estate on ul. Dyrekcyjna — one of the projects that literally sits on the old Ursus tractor-factory ground. Architecture is by Kuryłowicz & Associates; early stages were built by HOCHTIEF. The full masterplan targets about 960 apartments in seven buildings on roughly 30,600 m².

Part of our Szamoty district series. Nearby: Ursus Centralny, Osiedle Ursa, NeoPolis.

What stands out

Unlike many plain new blocks on Szamoty, Classic leans into the industrial story: brick accents, a renovated historic gatehouse, and a tree stand that the developer plans to keep as a park. Mid-rise buildings (about 6–8 floors) with ground-floor services and underground parking. The tone is “classic but modern” rather than glass-and-white investor stock.

Construction stages

• Phase I — building B3, ~114 flats, completed 2021–2022 (HOCHTIEF).
• Phase II — C1 and C2, ~272 flats, commissioned October 2025.
• Phases III–IV — four buildings (A1, A2, B1, B2), ~561 flats, construction from June 2026, handover targeted H1 2029.

So today you can buy ready homes from the first two stages on the secondary (and leftover primary) market, while the next chapter is still a construction site.

Location

Dyrekcyjna puts you in the heart of the factory redevelopment. Warszawa Ursus station is a short walk or bus hop; car to the centre is often quoted around 20–25 minutes, train closer to 15–20. Schools, clinics, shops and the wider Szamoty amenity mix are all nearby — with the same caveat as everywhere here: infrastructure lags housing volume.

Prices

Expect Szamoty-band pricing — typically mid-15,000s PLN/m² on offer, varying by stage, floor and fit-out. Newer phases may ask more; finished Phase I/II stock competes with secondary listings once finishing is included. Always check live offers and recent transactions.

Who is it for?

A good pick if you want architecture with a factory-heritage angle (Kuryłowicz), a Czech developer track record on this plot, and you accept multi-year build-out next door until ~2029. Less ideal if you need a fully quiet, fully finished micro-neighbourhood today.
