On the road to 
a mature market

Financing in the commercial real estate market – why there’s still relatively little Polish and a lot more Czech capital, while the largest share is coming from Western Europe (without raising the question of whether capital has a nationality); reports on the warehouse market, office sector, retail, what tenants expect, and other emerging trends – this is the content of 
a refreshed EurobuildCEE magazine

The shock absorbers

The beginning of the year is often an uncertain time – basically, after the flurry of year-closing deals, no one is quite sure where we stand and what lies ahead

Financing costs have bottomed out

We still vividly remember the strong inflationary impulse that happened across much of the world in 2022 and 2023 as a result of the pandemic and the military actions of Russia. In some countries, including Poland, additional domestic factors also contributed. As a result, price growth reached levels not seen for many years – in the case of the US, for almost fifty years, and in Poland for more than twenty. The need to combat soaring inflation led to a sharp increase in financing costs.

The dream team

EurobuildCEE’s editor-in-chief, Kazimierz Krupa, spoke to the main people at the Polish branch of law firm Clyde & Co about rebranding, the challenges of building an entirely new branch in the country, the role of new technology and AI in legal practice, and the future direction of the real estate sector

The office as a work tool

A recent report by coworking operator Brain Embassy shows that employees’ physical presence in the office does not necessarily translate into effective work. As a result, the question of how to design offices that discourage passive presence and support genuine productivity is becoming increasingly important

The office of the future will be flexible

We talked to Michał Kwinta, managing director of Mindspace in Poland and director of Global Strategic Projects, about the maturation of the flex market in Poland, the growing role of corporations, the changing approach of office landlords and the future of the coworking sector

Warehouse

Stable for sheds

At the end of 2025, Poland’s total warehouse and industrial stock stood at close to 36.6 mln sqm, up 5.9 pct y-o-y, according to the latest ‘Industrial and Warehouse Market in Poland’ report published by Newmark Polska. Full-year new completions came to almost 1.7 mln sqm – down by 35 pct and the lowest volume since 2016

A new Nowa Huta arises

Construction work has started in Ruszcza near Kraków on one of the largest urban logistics and industrial projects in Poland. The investment forms part of the broader economic transformation of the post-industrial Nowa Huta district in eastern Kraków. Areas that for decades were dominated by the former steelworks are now set to gain a new role – this time focused on modern industry and logistics

Retail

Catering to the modern consumer

The ‘New Consumer, New Shopping Centres’ survey just published by CBRE, while pointing the way forward for mall managers and owners in the digital age, has some surprising findings

Interview

Game-changing demographics

Poland’s commercial real estate market is maturing and increasingly entering 
a new phase of development – driven not by quantity, but by quality, active asset management and long-term demographic trends. We asked Jan Jakub Zombirt, senior director, strategic consulting at JLL, about what lies ahead for the sector over the next few years

Living

Greater scale, more affordability

The ageing population and growing quality of life expectations are making the senior living sector increasingly attractive to investors and developers in Poland. Although the assisted living market is still in its early stages, it could become one of the most promising real estate asset classes in the future. We discuss its potential, the regulatory barriers that need to be overcome, and the interest of institutional capital with Carlos Felipe de León, the general manager of developer Acciona

The tenant is the market’s foundation

Supply is growing, and with it the sector’s entire ecosystem: the funds and banks financing developments, general contractors, subcontractors, material manufacturers and dozens of investment-related companies. All of them have joined forces in a cycle that begins with securing land and financing, and ends with finding a tenant, without whom the investment would never get off the ground

The end of the glass tower era

A prestigious address is no longer the sole measure of an attractive office. Companies are increasingly competing for talent through the quality of the working environment, wellbeing and the overall experience they offer employees. We spoke to Artur Sutor, the CEO of ITRA Polska, about the changing role of modern offices, the growing importance of mixed-use developments, and the types of space that best responds to the needs of today’s teams

Rondo 1 set for a refresh

The Rondo 1 office tower in Warsaw is being readied for the modernisation of its common areas. The news may come as a surprise given that the building remains one of the most recognisable skyscrapers in Poland and has long been considered a benchmark for the modern office market. Yet the refurbishment of a 20-year-old building says far more about the market today than the scale of the investment itself

Bringing people together

We took the opportunity to speak to Jacek Kostrzewski, the managing director of engineering consultancy Gleeds, to find out how his passion for sport drives his approach to business and how Gleeds views the current shape of the market

Swings and roundabouts

A playground in a new residential development is now standard, but its quality depends on decisions made at the earliest design stage. A new guide published by the Polish Association of Developers organises the key principles and shows how to create spaces that are accessible, safe, green and well integrated into residents’ everyday lives
