In the first half of 2025, Poland’s industrial and logistics real estate market maintained steady growth. Total stock increased by 7% year-on-year to 36.03 million sqm, despite a decline in new supply (1.15 million sqm; -30% YoY) and lower developer activity on new construction starts (1.47 million sqm; -26% YoY). Lease renegotiations rose, pushing gross take-up to 2.95 million sqm (+10% YoY). Rental rates remained stable across most regional markets. Despite macroeconomic uncertainty, the sector continues to attract investors, supported by solid fundamentals and visible acquisition activity. Axi Immo presents these findings in its latest report, “Industrial and logistics market in Poland H1 2025.

AXI Immo has released its latest report on the Warsaw office market for the first half of 2025, showing the city’s continued resilience amid changing economic conditions. Despite a modest level of tenant activity, with total take-up reaching approximately 300,000 sqm, leasing remained steady and focused largely on central locations. Around 85,000 sqm of modern space was delivered in the first six months, with 93% located in central zones, primarily through flagship projects like The Bridge and Office House. The vacancy rate across the city stood at 10.8%, with 140,000 sqm under construction by the end of June.

The Warsaw office market opened in 2025 on a steady footing, with a notable increase in leasing activity and a modest decline in vacancy. While new supply remains constrained, landlords continue to focus on upgrading existing assets and prioritising quality over quantity. The market is entering a phase of selective, demand-driven growth, aligning more closely with the evolving expectations of modern occupiers, says Axi Immo. 

Poland’s industrial and logistics real estate sector remains stable, continuing to be one of the key segments of the commercial property market both nationally and across Europe. In 2024, the volume of investment transactions involving warehouse assets totalled €1.26 billion, while take-up remained at 5.8 million sqm (+4% y-o-y). Although developer activity decreased by 30%, new supply (2.6 million sqm) returned to pre-pandemic levels, with 1.8 million sqm still under construction. The sector has shown stability regarding vacancy rates (7.5%) and rental levels, which have remained consistent with the previous year, says Axi Immo in its latest report.

The regional office market in Poland (Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Katowice, Łódź, Poznań, Szczecin, and Lublin) is adapting to evolving conditions. The high availability of office space (an average of 17.8%) prompts tenants to take up greater flexibility in lease negotiations, while developers are reducing their activity (120,000 sq m of new supply delivered in 2024). Despite challenges in gross take-up (710,000 sq m, -5% y/y), stabilisation is observed, with office building owners focusing on improving building standards and introducing flexible leasing models, says Axi Immo.

The Polish industrial and logistics market demonstrated resilience in the first three quarters of 2024. During this period, 2.1 million sqm of new warehouse space was delivered, expanding the sector’s total stock to nearly 34 million sqm (+9% Y/Y). Currently, 1.9 million sqm are under construction (-22% Y/Y), marking the second-lowest development activity since early 2018. Despite challenges, leasing activity remained stable at 3.8 million sqm, with a vacancy rate of 8.0% (+30 bps Y/Y) at the end of September 2024, says Axi Immo. 

Developer activity in the Warsaw office space market is progressively increasing. More than 70,000 sqm finished by the end of September 2024 and around 280,000 sqm under construction in the coming years demonstrate that investors and developers are moving the industry forward. Take-up stays steady at roughly 490,000 sqm in Q1-Q3 2024. Axi Immo summarizes the present condition in the capital's office market. 

The first half of 2024 on the Warsaw office market marked an evolutionary change on both the demand and supply side. Development activity is slowly returning to pre-pandemic levels, with 280,000 sqm under construction at the end of June. On the demand side, we are observing a continuation of the renegotiation trend. The total take-up was 320,000 sqm, a comparable result to H1 2023, according to Axi Immo's latest report. 

The Warsaw region is currently the largest data centre market in Poland. The capital is home to more than 50 server facilities and a key exchange point for internet traffic in the country. In 2023, Kowalski and his family generated an average of 236 GB of data via fixed Internet connections, while the share per SIM card oscillated at 132 GB of data per year. Most often, searching content is video, social networking, web browsing and gaming. How is the data centre market in Poland shaped, and what are its biggest challenges for the coming years? How crucial remains the further development and modernisation of the Polish energy sector? What direction is its transformation expected to take place, and how much GW of power could it bring? Axi Immo unveiled the second edition of its "Data Centres in Poland" report. 

Poland's industrial market remains steady and adapts its growth rate to the macroeconomic conditions in both the local and European markets. The gross take-up statistics, which stood at 870,000 sqm at the end of Q1 2024, demonstrated the restricted growth of businesses in the industrial and logistics sectors. Developers supplied about 850,000 sqm between January and March 2024, which prompted Axi Immo analysts to report a slight increase in vacancy rates to 8.2%. The industrial sector has more than 32.7 million sqm of total stock. Nonetheless, a further 2.3 million sqm are still being built.
