City Point Okęcie is the first building in Poland to use Ruukki® LowCarbon sandwich panels with a low carbon footprint. The modern and sustainable logistics facility, owned by Peakside Capital, was built through the cooperation of Ruukki Polska and Depenbrock Polska, responsible for the supply and installation of the cladding products.
Ruukki® LowCarbon panels were manufactured at Ruukki's Oborniki plant from SSAB Zero™ steel, a low-carbon material made from scrap steel using biogas and electricity without fossil fuels. By using this steel to manufacture sandwich panels using processes based on renewable energy, Ruukki® LowCarbon products have a 42% lower embedded carbon footprint compared to standard panels, as evidenced by EPD product environmental declarations.
This project is a great example of how we can revolutionize construction together with our partners and customers in the future. We are proud to be contributing to change in the construction industry with our new LowCarbon products developed with sustainability in mind and impact on the entire life cycle of buildings

Convenience and high standards - the new City Point Okęcie cargo terminal
City Point Okęcie is a Build-to-Suit (BTS) project comprising more than 11,000 m² of warehouse and office space. Designed to meet high environmental standards, it is one of the most innovative warehouse developments on the city logistics map. Depenbrock Poland is the general contractor.
Executing a construction project as a General Contractor is a complex process that requires a professional approach from the design stage to the handover of the finished facility. The new Cargo City Point Okęcie terminal is based on modern technologies including energy-efficient materials, intelligent building management systems, as well as advanced construction and prefabrication technologies,"
- says Marcin Popek, Project Manager, Depenbrock Poland.
Peakside Capital's investment is distinguished by its use of sustainable energy efficiency, water management and green building solutions. The scope and schedule of the implementation phase included all the necessary solutions of both the EU Taxonomy for new buildings and BREEAM and LEED certification.
By introducing innovative solutions to Peakside Capital's industrial facilities in Poland, we take full responsibility for their quality and durability. Working with Ruukki is a conscious and long-term investment, both in the context of a closed-loop economy and the challenges of climate change. The choice of Ruukki's low-carbon footprint sandwich panels, made from 100% recycled steel, fits perfectly with Peakside Capital's commitment to GOZ. In addition, the new color standard of the panels reduces their heat build-up, which not only improves the energy efficiency of the buildings, but also extends their lifespan.
- says Katarzyna Krześniak, ESG Project Manager, Peakside Capital.
The building was commissioned in July 2025.
