High market fragmentation, rising land costs, the need to rapidly scale operations, and succession issues in companies mean the Polish residential market will face a wave of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the coming years, according to a report by JLL Living and Crido.

Polish developer Develia sold a record 3,345 residential units in 2025 based on development and preliminary contracts, exceeding its annual target of 3,100-3,300 apartments by 5% compared to 2024.

Polish developer Develia achieved net profit of €306.5 million in the first three quarters of 2025, up 42% from €215.6 million in the same period last year. Sales revenues reached €1.32 billion compared to €1.04 billion in the previous year, marking a 27% increase.

Develia has finalised the acquisition of 100% of shares in Bouygues Immobilier Polska, the Polish branch of French developer Bouygues Immobilier, for €65.9 million (approx. PLN 279.4 million). The deal expands Develia’s residential project portfolio, particularly in Warsaw, Poznań, and Wrocław, and supports the company’s strategic growth plan focused on Poland’s largest housing markets.

Develia has finalised the sale of the Arkady Wrocławskie property in Wrocław to Vastint Poland, part of an international real estate group focused on commercial projects. The transaction value is €42.967 million (approx. PLN 182 million).

The acquisition will allow Develia to increase the number of residential units under development and enhance the growth potential of its land bank in Warsaw, Poznań, and Wrocław.

Develia has purchased a plot of land in central Wrocław, where it plans to develop a student accommodation project with around 600 rooms and two facilities. The property was acquired from a company within the Puro Hotels group for close to €10 million.

Develia has concluded a final sales agreement for a real estate property located on Kolejowa Street in Wrocław with a subsidiary of AFI Europe. The transaction value amounts to PLN 50.5 million (ca. €11.75 million). The sale of the Wrocław land property is a part of Develia's strategy of divestment of its commercial real estate portfolio.
