The regional office market in Poland (Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Katowice, Łódź, Poznań, Szczecin, and Lublin) is adapting to evolving conditions. The high availability of office space (an average of 17.8%) prompts tenants to take up greater flexibility in lease negotiations, while developers are reducing their activity (120,000 sq m of new supply delivered in 2024). Despite challenges in gross take-up (710,000 sq m, -5% y/y), stabilisation is observed, with office building owners focusing on improving building standards and introducing flexible leasing models, says Axi Immo.
