The scale of office projects implemented in Poland today is much smaller than in previous years, and the demand for space is still high, says Walter Herz. 

Office Park Plovdiv has become the first office building with a Gold LEED Certificate for sustainable construction in the city.

Business park Dageco Expoziției Estate is among the first the first office buildings in Bucharest that will produce renewable energy after the installation of 260 photovoltaic panels on the roof. The clean energy will also power two car charging stations. 

Yareal Polska has completed the commercialisation of Wspólna 47/49 boutique office building. In 2022, the company leased out more than 4,000 sqm of available office space, with Enervigo, “Future For Ukraine” Foundation, and a representative of the European institutions' sector added to the building’s tenant roster. This means that the building, located in the very heart of Warsaw, at the junction of Wspólna and Marszałkowska streets, is now 100% leased. 

The new office is located in the Balkan Business Center, near Tsarigradsko Shose Boulevard. The building is powered by 100% renewable energy sources and holds certificates of excellence in sustainable and green construction and energy efficiency.

U•Center Phase 1, the office project in Bucharest owned by Pavăl Holding, has obtained the WELL Core certification at the Platinum level with a score of 91. The owner and Forte Partners, the developer of the building, said this is the highest score in Romania for this type of certification. 

Demand for office space in Brno is changing, companies are more reserved towards commitments due to higher costs. New construction will bring additional metres to the market, which, together with the tenants’ behaviour, will gradually decrease its absorption. Vacant meters will be filled gradually and slowly, which could be fuelled by the arrival of more international companies, says Cushman & Wakefield´s analysis.

One of the next buildings of Olivia Center is to serve as an office, and the other as a residential one for long-term rental (so-called PRS). The investor has just received a building permit for both buildings.

REICO ČS Nemovitostní fund (RČSN) has renewed its portfolio. After purchasing the multifunctional property Bořislavka Centrum in Prague and the logistics park Panattoni Park Tychy DC2 last year, it has now proceeded to sell the Office Box office building in Bratislava, one of its longest-held properties. The building was purchased by MOVYS Invest, a Slovak company which focuses primarily on providing services in the telecommunications sector.

The share of IT companies in the Bucharest office leasing market has shrunk to less than 30% compared to a prepandemic level of more than 50%, according to data from real estate consultancy 24 REAL.
