In 2019 the award for Outstanding Contribution to the Real Estate Market was created to honour the person that has most contributed to the development of the market over the last ten years.

The honour was awarded to Robert Dobrzycki, the CEO of Panattoni Europe.“When I was young, I used to think that being ambitious, being motivated was the only thing that is needed. But on your own you can do nothing. There are plenty of people that I work with and without them nothing would happen,” said Robert Dobrzycki at the Eurobuild gala award ceremony.

Poland The FORM builds on proven performance at Rondo Daszyńskiego

schedule 09 September 2026

With occupier demand increasingly focused on prime, well-located buildings, Warsaw’s office market is becoming more selective. Around Rondo Daszyńskiego, one of the city’s most established business locations, this trend is particularly visible. The FORM is among the office assets benefiting from this shift: since opening in early 2025, it has become fully leased, attracted a diversified mix of public- and private-sector occupiers, and demonstrated substantial day-to-day use. Its performance to date, combined with the continued evolution of the surrounding district, reinforces its position as a trophy office asset.

Poland’s planning reform is changing the way land is valued, according to Walter Herz. Plots covered by a local zoning plan (MPZP), a legally binding zoning decision (WZ) or with secured development potential are gaining value, while sites without a clear path to development are becoming increasingly risky. As a result, planning risk is emerging as a key factor in land values, with investors increasingly willing to pay for greater certainty over the development process.
