Poland Wrocław office market sees weaker tenant activity in H1 2026
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 Warehouse demand strengthens as availability tightens in Poland
Poland’s warehouse market gained momentum in the first half of 2026 as occupier demand picked up while the development pipeline continued to shrink. Gross take-up rose 21 pct year on year, while net take-up – covering new leases and expansions – jumped 58 pct to more than 2.1 mln sqm. 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.
