At Future of Real Estate 2026 in Warsaw, one observation kept resurfacing across the panel discussion on senior living: Polish senior living today sits where Polish PRS sat in 2017. The demographic case is undeniable. The capital case is compelling. And the structural answer — operators, regulation, tax — is where the real value will be created. For institutional investors looking at CEE, the question is no longer whether to enter the Polish senior living market. It is when, and through which structure, writes Piotr Zając, Managing Partner at Accace Poland, in an opinion piece for Property Forum.

In a video interview recorded at Future of Real Estate 2026 in Warsaw, Bartosz Prytuła, Managing Partner Poland at White Star Real Estate, discusses where he sees the strongest growth opportunities across the Polish real estate market. He highlights the recovery of the office sector, continued momentum in living and logistics, growing interest in data centres, and the long-term fundamentals that continue to support Poland’s investment appeal. 

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’s recent cycle of interest rate cuts has improved financing conditions and reinforced investor appetite for major cities across CEE. It has also intensified the race for the remaining attractive buildings and development plots in core locations. In this competitive environment, institutional investors benefit most when they work with platforms that manage the entire process from A to Z – from identifying and acquiring the right site or standing asset, through design, permitting and construction, all the way to long‑term operation and asset management, ensuring stable returns on capital. 

As the Polish residential market moves from volatility toward a more balanced phase, developers are recalibrating supply, financing strategies and product positioning. In this interview, Carlos de León, General Manager at Acciona Nieruchomości, explains why 2026 could mark a period of mature stabilisation rather than rapid growth, which segments and locations are set to outperform, and how sustainability, financing discipline and regulatory reform will shape the next phase of residential development in Poland.

In a video interview recorded at CEE Property Investment Update 2026 in Warsaw, Dorota Wysokińska-Kuzdra, Senior Partner at Colliers, shares her outlook on financing conditions, partnerships, and the evolving living sector in Poland, highlighting why competition between banks and institutional capital flows could intensify in 2026.

Living, Wing's residential development brand, has announced a new project that will feature 48 apartments, across five villa-style buildings, which is expected to complete in Q4 2027.

Living has completed the third phase of its Park West residential project in Budapest's District 13, with the final use permit now issued for the 230-unit development. The project, located in the Ferdinand Quarter on Szabolcs utca, benefits from brownfield status allowing buyers to reclaim 5% VAT.

Wing has acquired a 10,900 sqm development site in Debrecen through its residential brand Living. The company plans to build around 400 modern, energy-efficient apartments in several phases in Hungary's second-largest city. This marks Living's first residential development outside of Budapest, addressing strong demand in the local real estate market.

Living's first residential development in Buda, Római Park, is progressing as scheduled, with the building structure for the 257-unit complex now complete.
