A city quarter developed by  Echo Investment in the Warsaw's Wola district continues to surprise.  The developer brings a part of the district back to the city, revitalizing historical buildings and restoring its urban character. In addition to  classical streets and walking paths, the first Warsaw woonerf will be built here. Thanks to this approach, moving around the Warsaw Brewery will be free and safe, as well as connecting the Meeting and Flavors District with the city.

The term woonerf, of the Dutch origin, literally means "a street to live in". It is a so-called "living street" – a city lane with greenery, without transit traffic, with only local services and slow traffic. The idea of the woonerf in street designing has been around since the 1960s. It was a response to rapidly increasing road traffic and an attempt to oppose to grabbing  previously multifunctional, "free" urban spaces of streets by cars. 

“We want the project to become a natural, integral and above all hospitable part of the city. We compose the Warsaw Brewery in such a way that it welcomes with its original and sophisticated restaurant concepts and open and encouraging spending time in the city squares. A network of streets and paths will lead to the most important places in the quarter, no gates and barriers. A list of  occasions for which it will be worth to visit our quarter we can add the woonerf. I am convinced that by developing an internal pedestrian and road route of Haberbusch and Schiele according to this concept, we create another place where a man and his daily needs stand in the center,” Michał Gerwat, Project Director of the Warsaw Brewery, said.
