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.

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.
