Office markets across the six largest CEE capital cities, Prague, Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest, Bratislava, and Sofia, have entered a new phase characterized by a severe supply crunch.

The office markets of CEE's six largest capitals records resilient demand for high-quality space in 2026, although new development has slowed, tightening supply, according to Colliers.

Prague ranks among European cities with the highest projected growth in flexible office space, driven by a shortage of new office buildings and growing corporate demand for services.

Brno and Ostrava office markets have revealed contrasting trends among regional cities during H2 2025, according to the Regional Research Forum.

European office costs continue to rise, but companies are not compromising on their demands for high-quality work environments, according to Colliers' Occupier Fit-Out Guide 2026 study.

The changing dynamics of office utilisation and the need to balance efficiency and collaboration are hot topics not only for employers but for office providers as well. Resistance of employees returning to the office environment is still both a concern and a challenge. Office investments and a new age of working were the main discussion points at a dedicated panel of Prague Property Forum 2024.
