Interview

Local heroes

We spoke to Renata Osiecka, the managing partner of Axi Immo, about the changes to the consultancy and the market over its 15-year history. How does the company differentiate itself? What are the possibilities of new markets, such as data centres? what’s been the impact of ESG? And which trends are shaping the market, such as nearshoring?

Waiting for Gucci

In comparison to other European countries, such as France, the UK and Germany, Poland has far fewer highly affluent consumers. Even though the economy continues to grow and the purchasing power of the middle classes is rising rapidly, the ranks of the super-wealthy targeted by luxury brands remain somewhat small. Indeed, they are so thin on the ground that there’s little reason for the big fashion houses to open flagship stores here. Nonetheless, the market for premium brands is showing signs of growth

Walls come tumbling down

As urban development intensifies and battles rage over how well-situated land is to be used, knocking down old buildings is now increasingly an option. Modernising them is not always seen as a solution as it’s often a long and costly process. But what can be done with the tonnes of rubble created by such demolitions?

Pay packets repackaged

The post-pandemic “new reality” also brought with it soaring inflation followed by an interest rate squeeze and an economic downturn. Naturally, such factors have had an impact on the salaries in Poland and elsewhere in the region. Are real estate professionals’ wages in the CEE region catching up with those in the West? And which positions are currently the most sought-after?

Time to get the party going

We like to compare the situation on the industrial market in Poland to a good party to which we’ve been invited. We know where it’s going to be and we’re all dressed up and ready to go, but the party hasn’t started yet – And none of us can wait to join in the fun!

The office market in Poland is being shaped by many factors, such as Hybrid work, AI, ESG and developments in the financial world. The situation is complex, especially from the twin perspectives of a strong Warsaw and the still-developing regional markets

Cautious optimism

Over 40,000 people from 75 countries took part with 1,778 stands from 34 countries as well as numerous conversations and intensive discussions at the international fair in Munich held on October 7th – 9th. This year’s Expo Real showed a real estate sector, despite the economic difficulties, looking into the future with genuine optimism

A test of patience

The summer is now long gone and the academic year is in full swing. Even though exams are far off, many students now face their first serious challenge: finding somewhere to live. It’s true that new PBSA players are appearing on the market in Poland, but still analysts all say that this sector’s rate of growth is not really satisfactory
