Poland's planning reform is reshaping the land market as the Housing Special Act, commonly known as lex developer, expired on 31 August 2026. The legislation had for eight years enabled residential projects to be built on sites not always designated for residential use under local zoning plans. According to the Polish Association of Developers, the procedure was applied to projects comprising over 100,000 homes during that period. Plots covered by a local zoning plan, a legally binding planning decision, or an adopted Residential Investment Location Determination are now gaining in value, while sites without a secured development pathway face price pressure as regulatory risk becomes a direct component of land valuations.
