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 construction sector is facing increasing labour shortages, with the industry short of around 150,000 workers. Turnover among engineers has reached 42 pct, according to Randstad’s latest report, 'Labour Market in the Construction Sector: Trends, Challenges and Recruitment Strategies for 2026'. Demographic changes, rising employee expectations and the sector’s shift towards Construction 4.0 are adding to the pressure.

Despite this, the situation for construction companies remains challenging.

Weaker demand, high labour costs and pressure on liquidity are among the main challenges facing the industry.
