Few European capitals have changed as rapidly as Warsaw over the past three decades, yet many believe its biggest transformation still lies ahead. Industry leaders speaking at the closing panel of Future of Real Estate 2026, moderated by Aleksandra Mazzini, argued that the city is entering a new stage of development, driven by technology, talent, infrastructure investment and the evolution of large-scale mixed-use districts. While challenges around planning, regulation and sustainability remain, the long-term outlook for Warsaw was overwhelmingly positive.

As traditional real estate sectors mature, investors are increasingly looking to residential rental housing, co-living, student accommodation and data centres for growth. While demand drivers remain strong, these sectors are still evolving, with questions around regulation, financing, market liquidity and operational models shaping investment decisions. At Future of Real Estate 2026, industry leaders discussed where the biggest opportunities lie and what needs to happen for these asset classes to scale further in Poland and across CEE.

Poland continues to attract investors from across Europe, but the profile of that capital is changing.
