Responding to the city’s needs

Ghelamco has extensive experience of the Polish development market and has significantly expanded its operations since it entered it. We only need to look at the “Ghelamco Roundabout” (Rondo Daszyńskiego) to see this. How do you assess the direction in which the commercial real estate market in Poland is heading? Is it all positive – or does it still leave something to desire? Jarosław Zagórski, managing director, Ghelamco Poland: Looking at the scale of investment – including ours around Rondo Daszyńskiego, for instance – I have no doubt that the Polish commercial real estate market has undergone a remarkable transformation. The direction it’s heading in is fundamentally positive: more modern technologies, more sustainable and eco-friendly solutions, and greater integration with urban functions and public space. Poland is no longer a peripheral market. Today, Warsaw’s office buildings can confidently compete with developments in Berlin
