Poland Warsaw now a landlord’s market
The era of comfortable office leasing conditions in Warsaw has come to an end, according to Walter Herz. Record-high demand, combined with the lowest level of developer activity in more than a decade, has led to a sharp decline in the availability of modern office space, particularly in the city's central business districts. As a result, landlords have gained significant leverage in lease negotiations, prompting a fundamental shift in the leasing strategies of the market's largest occupiers.
