Investment & finance
Retail accounted for 36 pct of total commercial real estate investment in both Poland and Italy in Q2 2026, the highest share among the eight European markets reviewed in the latest Focus Estate Fund ‘Quarterly Litmus Paper’. The report points to sustained investor demand for retail parks and food-anchored assets, supported by low vacancy, resilient consumer spending and a constrained supply of high-quality space.
Construction
The Territorial Planning, Urbanism and Construction Code (CATUC) is expected to have a significant impact on Romania’s real estate market.

Poland’s industrial and logistics investment market recorded EUR 782 mln in transactions in the first half of the year, across 18 deals. This was 36 pct above the five-year average and the sector’s third-highest first-half investment volume on record, after 2020 and 2021. The strong showing was driven by more than a return of large deals, however. Investors are increasingly prioritising long-term, predictable income, while sale-and-leaseback transactions are becoming an increasingly important way of bringing assets to market.
Office & mixed-use development
Warsaw and Poland’s regional office markets are increasingly moving in different directions. In the capital, strong demand and limited availability of prime space are leaving tenants with fewer options, while greater availability in the regional cities gives companies more freedom to relocate.
