According to the latest report Newmark Polska, leasing activity on the Warsaw office market remained moderate between January and the end of March 2025. It was the strongest first quarter of recorded office take-up since 2022. The highest leasing activity in Q1 2025 was recorded in central locations. Office construction remained constrained compared with the record under construction volumes in 2017-2019, with no new office projects breaking ground in the first quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, office availability continued its gradual downward trajectory, especially in buildings completed after 2019, where vacancy rates remained below 3.5%.

The Warsaw office market opened in 2025 on a steady footing, with a notable increase in leasing activity and a modest decline in vacancy. While new supply remains constrained, landlords continue to focus on upgrading existing assets and prioritising quality over quantity. The market is entering a phase of selective, demand-driven growth, aligning more closely with the evolving expectations of modern occupiers, says Axi Immo.
