German residential investors are increasingly turning to foreign markets, with Poland emerging as a particularly attractive destination. High construction costs, long approval processes, and regulatory uncertainty in Germany are pushing investors to look abroad. In countries like Poland and the USA, planning and permitting procedures can take just a few months, compared to years in Germany. Trei Real Estate, for example, has shifted its focus to Polish cities such as Poznań and to fast-growing areas in the southeastern United States to take advantage of clearer and faster approval systems. Rueckerconsult GmbH summarised the trend in a recent press release.

In the first half of 2025, Warsaw saw the delivery of 85,200 sqm of new office space — a 34% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the volume of space under construction has dropped to a historic low of 140,000 sqm. Despite a slight 5% decline in total demand year-on-year, tenant activity remains stable, with strong interest in top-quality, centrally located projects. Savills reports.
