Poland’s overall warehouse vacancy rate is around 7 pct, but large, well-located warehouse space is becoming much harder to find. Companies looking for more than 15,000 sqm are increasingly competing for the same buildings. According to SQM Advisory, the squeeze is no longer confined to the very largest warehouses; availability of mid-sized units is also tightening.

Poland’s warehouse market picked up noticeably in the first half of 2026 after a year dominated by lease renegotiations.

Poland Wrocław office market sees weaker tenant activity in H1 2026
Tenant activity slowed in Wrocław in the first half of 2026. Two office projects were completed in the first quarter, leaving no buildings under construction. The vacancy rate also edged down.

Poland Warehouse demand strengthens as availability tightens in Poland
Poland’s warehouse market gained momentum in the first half of 2026 as occupier demand picked up while the development pipeline continued to shrink. Gross take-up rose 21 pct year on year, while net take-up – covering new leases and expansions – jumped 58 pct to more than 2.1 mln sqm. The vacancy rate fell to 6.3 pct and space under construction dropped to its lowest level in more than nine years. According to Axi Immo, the combination of strong demand and limited new supply could stimulate rent rises in many markets.
