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.

Skanska has begun construction of the first phase of its Nowy Format office complex in central Kraków, on the site of a former newspaper printing press. The nine-storey building, designated Nowy Format A1, will provide 21,400 sqm of gross leasable area and is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2028. The broader complex will ultimately comprise three buildings totalling approximately 48,000 sqm in the Grzegórzki district.

Signum Work Station, an office building on ul. Domaniewska in Warsaw's Mokotów district, has received the WELL Health-Safety Rating, awarded by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI). The certification, which is independently verified and evidence-based, covers operational protocols, cleaning and maintenance, air and water quality management, emergency preparedness, and communication with building occupants.

Construction firm GEMO a.s. is contributing to the Dornych mixed-use development in central Brno, a project valued at more than seven billion Czech crowns. The scheme will transform a brownfield site formerly occupied by the Prior department store into a new urban district near the main railway station. Construction began in November 2024, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027 and the opening of retail and service units expected in the following months. Approximately 1.3 billion Czech crowns has been invested in the project to date.

The first half of 2026 brought a shift in occupier demand in the Kraków office market towards the city centre, according to the "Office Occupier - Office Market in Kraków" report published by Newmark Polska. Although total take-up fell sharply compared with the same period in 2025, leasing activity recovered in the second quarter. The vacancy rate edged up to 19.0% across the city, though it stood at just 10.5% in the Centre.

One United Properties (BVB: ONE), a developer of residential, office and mixed-use real estate listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, has achieved full occupancy across the modern buildings in its office portfolio. The operational buildings One Victoriei Plaza, One Cotroceni Park Office (phases 1 and 2) and One Tower are fully leased, while One Technology District, developed for Infineon Technologies, is fully leased under a 15-year agreement. One Gallery, nearing completion, is fully pre-leased. Together, the modern office spaces total more than 140,000 sqm of gross leasable area.

Kraków's office market recorded lower occupier activity and limited new supply in the first half of 2026, according to AXI IMMO's latest report. Gross take-up totalled 73,000 sqm, a 58% year-on-year decline, while net take-up reached 36,000 sqm, down 27% year on year. Manufacturing companies accounted for the largest share of demand at 31%, followed by the financial sector at 20% and IT companies at 15%. The largest transaction was a new lease signed by Brown Brothers Harriman for 13,700 sqm at WITA C, with Akamai renewing at Vinci Office Centre (5,400 sqm) and PepsiCo renewing and expanding at Brain Park A (5,400 sqm).

Construction of the Dornych mixed-use development in Brno, being built by developer Crestyl near the city's main railway station, has reached a new milestone. The foundation slab was completed in August, and the reinforced-concrete monolithic frame is now rising above ground level on several sections of the site. Construction remains on schedule, with completion planned for the end of 2027 and the opening of shops and services expected in the following months.

Record demand and a decade-low level of new construction have fundamentally shifted the balance of power in Warsaw's office market. In the second quarter of 2026, leasing volume exceeded 280,000 sqm, one of the strongest quarterly results on record, while net take-up surpassed 134,000 sqm. The previous quarter had already set an all-time high, with 310,000 sqm of lease agreements signed between October and December 2025. Against this backdrop, just over 140,000 sqm of office space is currently under construction in Warsaw, the lowest pipeline in more than a decade, and Walter Herz estimates that fewer than 30,000 sqm of new space will be delivered by the end of 2026.

Developer JTRE has announced that Tatra banka Group will relocate its headquarters to Pribinova 1, an eight-storey office building under development in the Eurovea City district of Bratislava. The building will offer more than 20,000 sqm of leasable office space and nearly 2,000 sqm of retail space, and is designed to serve as a connection point between Bratislava's historic centre and the Danube waterfront.
