Poland’s commercial real estate market is showing strong signs of stabilisation. According to the latest report by BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland, the total investment transaction volume for January to September 2024 exceeded €2.68 billion, marking a year-on-year increase of nearly 57%, with office assets being the top-performing sector.

In the third quarter of 2024, Poland’s regional city office markets demonstrated stability, though elevated vacancy rates remained a significant challenge, hindering development activity. The combined office stock of the eight key regional cities reached 6.73 million sqm. With 1.82 million sqm of office space, Kraków continued to lead the way, ahead of Wrocław (1.37 million sqm) and Tricity (1.06 million sqm), says BNP Paribas Real Estate.

Leasing activity on the Warsaw office market continues unabated despite low new supply levels, pushing the vacancy rate down to 10.7% Meanwhile, pre-lets are on the rise, indicating growing occupier interest in office buildings under construction, reveals the latest quarterly report from BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland.

In Q3 2024, the Polish retail market expanded by another 116,000 sqm. With average retail vacancy rates in the largest Polish cities falling and tenants posting rising turnover levels, predictions of the imminent decline of shopping centres in Poland have proven premature, says BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland in its latest report.

The Polish industrial and logistics market continues its strong growth momentum, reveals BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland in its latest report for the second quarter of 2024. With robust occupier activity and stable volumes of new construction, Poland is among the top European industrial markets.

Despite persistently high interest rates and geopolitical tensions, growing investor interest - particularly in retail assets - is a sign of stabilization and a forthcoming recovery later in the year, says BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland in its latest report.

At the end of the second quarter of 2024, more than 40% of offices in the oldest office buildings in Poland’s regional cities remained vacant, with their office markets experiencing stable vacancy rates and subdued development activity, reveals BNP Paribas Real Estate Poland in its latest report.

New office projects with a combined leasable area of nearly 64,000 sqm were completed during H1 2024, with the volume soaring almost three-and-a-half times compared to the same period of 2023, according to a BNP Paribas Real Estate report.  

Around 135,000 sqm of modern retail space was added to Poland’s total stock in Q2 2024, with new supply comprising both new openings and extensions, while the end of H1 2024 the development pipeline amounted to around 335,000 sqm, according to a report by BNP Paribas Real Estate.
