The Kolonia Staszica estate is a historic residential area dating back to the nineteen twenties. It was created on the former military area of Pola Mokotowskie, in the square between the roads Nowowiejska (previously called 6 Września), Wawelska, Aleja Niepodległości and Krzywickiego (previously called Sucha).
| After regaining independence in 1918, the Polish government needed accommodation for its clerks. Since 1922, the construction of houses and blocks began in this area, based on a uniform urbanisation plan on the land purchased by the state. The construction was financed through low-interest loans. To achieve this goal, housing co-operatives were established in the area. These co-operatives were dismantled after the construction was completed and the properties were sold to individual members of the co-operative.
