Czech investment and development company Passerinvest Group is raising asking rents across all its office buildings at Brumlovka and Nové Roztyly in Prague, including projects under preparation.

GTC, an investor and manager of commercial real estate in Central and Eastern Europe, has signed a lease agreement for 23,000 sqm with the City of Łódź. The municipal administration will relocate its main headquarters to the University Business Park complex on Wólczańska Street, consolidating 34 offices, departments and branches in a single location. Around 1,500 municipal employees are expected to work from the complex, with operations beginning at the turn of 2027 and 2028.

A survey of employees working at the Brumlovka office district in Prague has found that 96% are satisfied with the location, with the share describing themselves as "definitely satisfied" rising from 23% in 2016 to 47% in 2026. The research, now in its seventh wave since 2001, was conducted by agency STEM/MARK for developer Passerinvest Group between May and June 2026 and drew 2,822 completed responses from 12,350 people contacted, a return rate of 23%.

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.

The broader complex will ultimately comprise three buildings totalling approximately 48,000 sqm in the Grzegórzki district.

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.
