Romania’s consumer spending continued to support the expansion of the retail sector in 2025 despite persistent inflationary pressures. The 125 major retailers analysed generated more than EUR 42 bln in sales during the year, representing a 5.6 pct increase compared with 2024 and a 77 pct increase compared with 2019, according to the 'Romania Retail Snapshot 2026', published by real estate consultancy Cushman & Wakefield Echinox. The study is based on the financial results of companies operating across 13 retail segments.
Poland’s residential construction market is slowing, with 936 projects put on hold over the past year. Yet investors continue to prepare new projects, with activity in planning and design on the rise. According to Kompas Inwestycji, 1,219 projects reached the foundation stage or moved into construction between August 2025 and July 2026.
Poland’s modern warehouse and industrial stock has reached 37.44 mln sqm. Demand rose by 47 pct year on year in the first quarter of 2026. At the same time, companies are raising their expectations of what such facilities should offer. Floor space and location remain important, but so do flexibility, automation and the potential for future expansion.
WSP Polska, a global engineering and consulting firm, has signed a lease with Karimpol Polska for 1,100 sqm of office space on the 12th floor of Skyliner II. The office will house WSP’s engineers and consultants specialising in building services, infrastructure, environmental services and sustainability.
The Territorial Planning, Urbanism and Construction Code (CATUC) is expected to have a significant impact on Romania’s real estate market. Two measures are likely to be particularly important: tighter limits on how much can be built on a site and a new infrastructure payment, the cost of which has yet to be determined, according to Crosspoint Real Estate.
Poland’s retail property market saw a clear revival in the first half of 2026. Transaction volumes topped EUR 1 bln, surpassing the total recorded for the whole of 2025. Retail accounted for around one-third of all commercial real estate investment.
Residential
Warsaw developers significantly increased the number of new apartments for sale in the second quarter of 2026, but sales fell. They brought 4,753 homes to market, up 66.8 pct from the previous quarter, while 3,840 apartments were sold, a 9.4 pct decline. The increase in supply pushed the number of apartments available for sale to 16,345 at the end of June, up 7.1 pct from three months earlier. Even so, quarterly sales remained 4.6 pct above the five-year average of 3,670 homes, according to data from CBRE and Tabelaofert.pl.
Warehouse & industrial
Logicor Łódź III is now fully leased after Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) and an aluminium processing company have both signed new agreements.
Warehouse & industrial
CTPark Warsaw Emilianów has achieved a BREEAM Outstanding rating, scoring 89.1 pct in the assessment.
Retail & leisure
Global luxury brands are expanding more cautiously, choosing markets and locations more carefully rather than rapidly adding stores, according to Colliers’ EMEA Retailer Performance & Consumer Spending Trends report. Weaker consumer confidence, higher costs and a less certain economic outlook are making retailers pay closer attention to sales and profitability. Warsaw remains one of the markets attracting interest from luxury brands, including some that have yet to enter Poland.
Office & mixed-use development
Hyundai Motor Poland has renewed its lease at Wołoska 24 in Warsaw and expanded its office space by around 30 pct. The company will now occupy nearly 1,700 sqm, up from around 1,300 sqm.
Warehouse & industrial
Panattoni has started work on the final stage of Panattoni Park Zgierz I in Lućmierz, near Łódź. The new 16,400 sqm warehouse will bring the park’s total space to more than 29,000 sqm.
Retail & leisure
Primark has opened a store in Forum Koszalin, its first in northern Poland and its ninth in the country. The store, which spans more than 2,000 sqm, opened on 25 August.
Retail & leisure
Peek & Cloppenburg will open a 3,600 sqm store at Rivus, a mixed-use development under construction in Cluj-Napoca. It will be the retailer’s second store in the city.
Warehouse & industrial
Elanders Polska has taken nearly 5,600 sqm at Hillwood Wrocław East in Dobrzykowice, just outside Wrocław. The deal covers more than 5,000 sqm of warehouse space and around 600 sqm of offices. Only one 4,200 sqm unit remains available at the park.
Warehouse & industrial
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.
Warehouse & industrial
Poland’s warehouse market picked up noticeably in the first half of 2026 after a year dominated by lease renegotiations. New leases and expansions made up 60 pct of tenant activity, while cautious development kept new supply in check. 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.
Office & mixed-use development
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.
Residential
Flora Development has received an occupancy permit for Esy Floresy, its residential project at ul. Cybernetyki 7 in Warsaw’s Mokotów district. The development comprises 213 apartments across two buildings, with apartment handovers beginning in August. The developer is also preparing its next residential project and seeking further development opportunities in Warsaw.
Property and Facility Management
ISS has taken over the technical facility management of Axis, an office building in Kraków owned by French fund Corum XL. The company is providing technical services across the 20,000 sqm building at ul. Przy Rondzie 4, beside the Mogilskie roundabout.
