Cushman & Wakefield has summarised the performance of Poland’s largest office markets in the first quarter of 2025. In the first three months of 2025, office leasing volumes rose year-on-year by 16% in Warsaw and 27% in regional cities. Meanwhile, new supply remained low, with a rebound in development unlikely before 2027.

Romanian developer One United Properties has raised around €6.5 million in fresh capital from a group of ten investors to support the construction of the new office building for Infineon in northern Bucharest.

The 2024 results signalled a return to stability in Poland’s real estate market, accompanied by a renewed sense of optimism. Total transaction volume more than doubled compared to 2023, reflecting a strong resurgence in market activity. This positive momentum is expected to continue into 2025, supported by anticipated interest rate cuts, improved liquidity, and the emergence of numerous new opportunities across all real estate segments, says Avison Young. 

After the approval of the first stage of the Vydrica quarter at the end of last year, the only office building of this phase of the project, called Vydrica Offices by Vydrica Development, has reached this important milestone.
