At the end of 2024, there were more than 22,300 units in the PRS sector in Poland, of which around 26% were brought to market last year. In terms of project supply, Warsaw's dominance is evident.

The latest JLL report indicates the rapid development of the institutional rental market and the growing interest of investors in this sector.

The office market in Central and Eastern Europe shows signs of solid growth and recovery, supported by the region's strong economic fundamentals and rising investor confidence, say experts from JLL and iO Partners in their latest report.

In 2024, Central and Eastern European countries experienced a resurgence in investment activity, with most markets showing significant increases in volume compared to 2023. Poland and the Czech Republic saw renewed investor engagement and increased capital allocation, while Hungary, despite having its lowest annual volume since 2015, showed signs of recovery in Q4. Romania and Slovakia also demonstrated strong growth, with Romania's investment volume up 47% year-over-year and Slovakia's nearly tripling in the second half of 2024. Across the region, there was a mix of domestic and international investor participation, with sectors like retail and industrial performing particularly well. JLL experts, in cooperation with iO Partners, present an analysis of the trends observed in the investment market in Poland in comparison to the countries of the CEE region.

iO Partners has announced its expansion into Austria through a partnership with Optin, a real estate consultancy specialising in commercial, residential and investments.

JLL's forecast for Q3 2024 new flat sales in major markets in Poland has proven accurate, with most cities experiencing a downturn compared to Q2 2024. The number of transactions across the six main markets reached approximately 9,200 units, marking a 6.9% quarter-over-quarter decline. This slowdown was mirrored in new supply, with only 12,600 units launched for sale across these markets. JLL experts provide a comprehensive overview of the residential market conditions in Q3 2024.

Over H1 2024, the office stock in the CEE region grew by 213,000 sqm, with the largest increase recorded in Budapest (78,300 sqm). The majority of the markets still experience subdued construction activity as vacancy rates remain higher than 10%. The development pipeline is largely dependent on pre-lease agreements, with a limited number of speculative starts. The only exception is Prague, where the under-construction volumes nearly doubled as compared to the end of 2023. The overall vacancy rate in the CEE capitals recorded a minimal increase over H1 2024 and stood at 11.6%, against 11.5% in Q4 2023. Muted construction activity will push the overall vacancy rate downwards in the mid-term. A decrease in availability will be more prominent in the prime market segment as occupiers follow „fly to quality” trend. JLL experts, in cooperation with iO Partners, present an analysis of the trends observed in the office market in Poland against the background of countries in the CEE region.

Investors returned to the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) markets.
