Powstają nowe osiedla bloków, a zarządcy przestrzeni kładą coraz większy nacisk na rozwój terenów zielonych. W związku z tym przebudowywane są też ulice. Obecnie w Mordorze powstają nowe odcinki lokalnych dróg. Zgodnie z początkowymi pomysłami, miały nazywać się: Pirytowa i Tytanowa, jednak stołeczni radni zdecydowali, że ulice mają nawiązywać do Mordoru. W efekcie otrzymają nazwy: „Tolkiena” i „Gandalfa”. Today, Mordor is becoming an increasingly friendly place. New housing estates of blocks of flats are being built and the space managers are putting more and more emphasis on the development of green areas. As a result, streets are also being redeveloped.

According to initial ideas, they were to be named “Pirytowa Street” and “Tytanowa Street”, but the capital's councillors decided that the streets should refer to Mordor.

Pierwszym biurowcem, który zbudowano w przyszłej dzielnicy biznesowej, był biurowiec Curtis Plaza. Budynek, który powstał na początku lat 90. i w pewnym momencie stał się symbolem rozwoju gospodarczego i sukcesu Warszawy, niebawem zniknie z pejzażu miasta. Taką decyzję podjął jego nowy właściciel. The name “Mordor” has become associated with the office district within the neighborhoods of Warsaw's Służewiec, as it is a somewhat dehumanized and perpetually congested business part of the city that empties out after dark. The first office building to be built in the future business district was the Curtis Plaza office building. The building, which was built in the early 1990s and at one point became a symbol of Warsaw's economic development and success, will soon disappear from the city's landscape. This is the decision of its new owner. Declension s Further reading pl terms derived from Tolkien's legendarium pl Derogatory names for places J. R. R. Tolkien Places in Warsaw Fictional locations
