According to the latest report from Cushman & Wakefield, office demand across Poland’s office markets is expected to remain stable in the near future, on a par with the levels recorded in 2022-2023, with vacancy rates anticipated to edge down in both Warsaw and regional cities amid gradual market stabilisation. Office development activity is likely to remain subdued in the coming years, creating new opportunities for office stock refurbishment. Despite this, the Polish market offers some of the finest-quality office spaces in Europe. For example, Cushman & Wakefield reveals that the percentage of office stock in Warsaw at risk of becoming obsolete by 2030 is low, at 40%. By comparison, the average for seven key Western European markets (Amsterdam, Barcelona, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris and Stockholm) is nearly twice as high, at 80%.
