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

The vacancy rate fell from 7.1 pct at the end of March to 6.3 pct at the end of June, according to JLL.

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. However, with around 295,000 sqm of space available for immediate occupation, it will take time for the market to rebalance, according to Newmark Polska’s 'Office Occupier – Wrocław Office Market' report.

Poland’s warehouse market gained momentum in the first half of 2026 as occupier demand picked up while the development pipeline continued to shrink.

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.
