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.
