Jacek Wachowicz and Christian Fojtl have taken over management of Periskop Poland effective March 1, 2026.


Both join the management board of the Warsaw subsidiary of Periskop Partners, where the current focus is on land banking activities. They succeed Monika Murawska, who left the company to take on a new leadership role in the real estate sector.

Wachowicz brings over 25 years of experience in investment management, project development, and consulting. His previous positions include Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners, Immobel Poland, GTC and Heitman. Fojtl has more than 30 years of experience in the European real estate industry, including roles at Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners, and Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs. Based in Vienna, he will serve as a link between the Berlin HQ and the Warsaw office.

The new management will be supported by Paweł Jastrzębski, whose local transaction experience ensures operational continuity.

Lars Meisinger, CEO of Periskop Partners, commented: "While international investors remain cautious due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the combination of economic growth, rising space demand, and a shortage of development-ready land creates exactly the environment in which our landbanking approach delivers value."

Poland ranks among the EU's strongest economies, with GDP growth projected to exceed 3 percent for 2026. The demand for development-ready land in metropolitan areas such as Warsaw, Kraków, and Wrocław far exceeds available supply. Periskop Partners acts as investment advisor to a Poland-focused landbanking fund with assets under management exceeding €2 billion.
