The Tri-City office market ended 2025 with total stock exceeding 1.067 million sqm. Despite no new supply delivered last year, demand remained stable at 113,800 sqm, resulting in a vacancy rate drop to 11.9%, according to a report by Savills.


Gdańsk's dominance in the Tri-City region has strengthened further. The city now concentrates 75% of the region's total office stock (approximately 800,900 sqm) and accounted for 82% of last year's demand. The vacancy situation shows a clear divide - while Gdynia's vacancy rate increased to 23.7%, Gdańsk's dropped to 8.6%.

Tenant activity in 2025 was split almost equally between renegotiations (47%) and new leases (46%). Average transaction size for lease extensions was around 2,300 sqm, while new tenants opted for modules averaging 860 sqm. Logistics companies led demand with 26%, followed by financial services (17%) and manufacturing (15%).

"We see a clear change in tenant strategy, with companies focusing on optimisation and quality rather than quantitative expansion. Firms increasingly choose smaller but better-designed offices in buildings with high technological standards," comments Piotr Skuza, Associate Director in Savills' office department.

Prime rents remain stable at €13.00-15.00 per sqm per month. Due to market changes and rising construction costs, developers show caution. Only 31,100 sqm is currently under construction, exclusively in Gdańsk, with new project starts often dependent on pre-leasing levels. "The offshore industry and nuclear energy sector related to the Choczewo investment could fuel the Tri-City office market. Companies involved in these projects will likely seek modern offices with data transmission infrastructure, which could create a deficit of attractive modules in Gdańsk given last year's near-zero new supply," adds Skuza.
