Investors in Poland are looking for projects that can ensure a good profit. Will we soon see a flood of investments based on changing the function of existing real estate on developed land? Piotr Szymoński, Director at Walter Herz tries to answer that question. 

Real Management S.A. has finalised the purchase of a development plot in Łubna, on the DK79 road connecting Warsaw, Piaseczno and Góra Kalwaria. The 13.3-hectare plot will be used for the Good Point IV project, a modern manufacturing and industrial facility offering a total of 50,000+ sqm of top-quality warehousing space with office facilities for lease.

Przemysław Orchowicz, Country Manager, Heimstaden Poland has talked to Property Forum about the current forecasts for the PRS market, overregulation risk and investment plans.

LCP Properties has finalised the purchase of two retail projects to be built in Łochów and Iława, as well as an existing retail park in Ząbkowice Śląskie.

Greenman Poland, asset manager and developer of retail assets formerly known as Newbridge Poland, has announced the appointment of Barbara Wojdełko as its CEO following Greenman Group’s acquisition of the business.

Six office buildings sold, another five buildings with occupancy permits, nearly 45,000 sqm of offices leased, the development of the food & beverage segment and the strengthening of the diverse offer of Libero Katowice and Galeria Młociny - these are the developer's key commercial sector successes in 2022.

E-commerce clothing giant Shein will start operations in the area of almost 55,000 sqm in Panattoni Park Wrocław South Hub as early as this quarter. The developer has already leased half of the planned 250,000 sqm in the Lower Silesian complex.

Accolade has completed a new logistic park in Elbląg, the first Class A warehouse in this area. The 20,000 sqm industrial park is fully leased to its two tenants: Flex and DPD.

In 2021, the warehouse sector strongly dominated Poland's commercial real estate market in terms of volume. The value of transactions - approximately €3.2 billion - accounted for over half of the total value of investment transactions. In 2022, the sector's result - €2 billion – accounted for "only" a 34% share in the total transaction volume in Poland, says Bartłomiej Krzyżak, Senior Director, Investment at Avison Young Poland.

The most successful outlet centres in Europe have a new leader. Cheshire Oaks, located south of Liverpool in the industrial town of Ellesmere Port, is the second English centre to top the list of the most successful outlet centres in Europe. Until now, this rank in England was reserved for Bicester Village, which is located near the university city of Oxford as well as the tourist attraction Stonehenge. This is a result of the "Outlet Centre Performance Report Europe" (OCPRE), which has been updated annually since 2008 and whose latest edition has just been published. The third place has been taken by Designer Outlet Warsaw in Piaseczno near the Polish capital.
