Poland The FORM builds on proven performance at Rondo Daszyńskiego

09 September 2026

With occupier demand increasingly focused on prime, well-located buildings, Warsaw’s office market is becoming more selective.

Its performance to date, combined with the continued evolution of the surrounding district, reinforces its position as a trophy office asset.
