Moving up the gears as the leaves fall

September marks a seasonal shift – not just in the calendar, but in the rhythm our sector moves to. After a well-deserved summer break, it’s time to get back into high gear and open the door to an intensive period of project launches, meetings and decisions that will shape the market for the remainder of the year. Autumn in real estate always means one thing: there’s plenty to look forward to!

A long-term game

The industrial and logistics property market continues to evolve. Financing and construction costs have stabilised to some degree, but there are no longer any “easy projects”. To assess the situation, we spoke to Magdalena Uler-Kłeczek, the chief investment officer and a board member of Polish warehouse developer 7R, who shares her insights on her new role, the company’s strategy, its plans for the coming months and years, and the maturing of the sector

Office & mixed-use development

Sitting in the shed

Once upon a time, office space in industrial parks was an afterthought. Companies would lease thousands of square metres of warehousing space to store goods before shipping them to customers, while the office facilities in them would comprise a windowless room, a desk, a chair and a kettle...

Poland at the heart of the logistics game

The Polish industrial real estate market is still growing, but the pace and direction of its development are far from obvious. Which investment and political decisions will prove crucial? How can the industry handle the pressure to achieve zero emissions and embrace automation? The market experts consider where we stand today – and where we are heading

Construction

Re-use, repurpose, re-manufacture

It might be easy these days to become a bit blasé about green certification and ESG in public and commercial buildings, as everyone seems to be certifying their new or renovated properties. But are we just ticking off all the necessary boxes – or can we go a huge step further and basically recycle the whole building or try to use as many recycled materials as possible in their construction? The urban mining and circular economy concepts exemplify this approach, which is already taking off in some countries

Time is money

Poland’s institutional rental market – both PRS and PBSA – is entering a phase of rapid growth, and with it comes the rising importance of modern construction technologies.

Its advantages also include project repeatability and standardisation

The salamander on the slope

For centuries, the beauty of the Tatra Mountains has inspired painters, composers and poets. But you don’t have to be an artist to fall under their spell. The view from the slopes of Butorowy Wierch must have enchanted General Tadeusz Kasprzycki as well, who in 1937 purchased a site in Kościelisko near Zakopane to build a unique villa on it. Restoring the Salamandra to its former glory has become the mission of Core Development

Back from the cold

The pandemic, the inflation crisis, the war in Ukraine, a second inflationary shock, and ongoing geopolitical tensions are among the main factors that have been shaping the global economy in recent years

Michał Turek, Senior Business Development Manager, Harden Construction
Endpiece

Who wants to be a millionaire?

In a recent bored moment, I started wondering how many words I’d ever written in my whole career at EurobuildCEE – which is quite some time, as my memory of working here even reaches back to the “Elder Days”, not long after Poland’s EU accession
