A Turkish billionaire at the top of Złota 44? New information about the “record transaction”
The adventure of speculator Rafał Zaorski with Złota 44 has come to an end. However, the 500-square-meter premises were purchased – as we hear from the residents of the apartment building – not by a Polish entrepreneur, but by one of the richest Turks. Zaorski also allegedly transferred a fortune to the account of the community with which he was at war.
A record PLN 23 million, the last apartment in a luxurious skyscraper at 44 Złota Street, where Robert and Anna Lewandowscy and Joanna Krupa have real estate. In 2022, Rafał Zaorski completed this transaction in a flash of light. Although a year later he announced that he wanted to sell the over 500-square-meter apartment for more than twice as much, for about PLN 50 million. However, the sale did not take place, although Zaorski claimed that he had talked to a dozen or so interested parties.
A well-known speculator changed his plans. At the end of 2023, he announced that he was planning a “social experiment” dubbed an “epic flip”. He planned to divide the apartment into 20,000 shares, each worth PLN 5,000, thanks to which he was supposed to collect up to PLN 100 million. After just two weeks, there were to be over 7.5 thousand subscriptions for over 56,000 shares.
However, this also did not work out, Zaorski’s war with the community thwarted his plans, and in the end it was to cost dearly.
“Epic flip” and a court ban
The conflict began almost the day Zaorski bought the apartment.
The parties and events he organized there were no secret. Reports of the events appeared on social media, as did photos of guests crowding the reception. The community claimed that Zaorski constantly violated the building’s regulations, disturbed the peace of other residents, made it difficult to use the common areas, and that not only security guards, but also police officers had to intervene during events. She accused him of having many more people in the premises than allowed by fire safety regulations, but Zaorski responded with his calculations, which showed that the opposite was true.
