<\/span><\/h2>\nThe amount of leased warehouse space, compared to the corresponding period of 2019, increased by 14% and accounted to 1.12 million m2 at the end of Q1 2020. The highest activity among tenants was recorded in Warsaw zone II and in Upper Silesia, where it constituted 20% and 19% of the total transaction volume in Poland, respectively.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe agreements signed in Q1 2020 involved mostly companies from retail (30%) and 3PL (28%) sector. One of the major transactions was the lase of 67,000 m2 by a company from the retail sector, for which the BTS project will be delivered by Panattoni in Czelad\u017a\u201d, says Agnieszka Bogucka<\/strong>, analyst, Research and Consultancy Services at Colliers International.<\/p>\nThe outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in March this year had a significant impact on the industrial market.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince then, we have been observing a significant activity in the e-commerce sector, which may translate into increase of demand for warehouse space from companies offering online sales. The effects of this will be visible in the following quarters\u201d, underlines Dominika J\u0119drak<\/strong>, director of the Research and Consultancy Services at Colliers International.<\/p>\nThe highest vacancy rates were noted in Bydgoszcz\/Toru\u0144 region (12.2%), Central Poland (10.2%) and Warsaw zone I (10.1%). The markets with the lowest amount of vacant warehouse space were Szczecin (1.8%) and eastern Poland (0.7%). Furthermore, in the Western region there was no space available.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Under construction<\/span><\/h2>\nAt the end of March 2020, 2.2 million sq m of warehouse space was under construction. The regions that stood out the most in terms of the amount of space in the construction phase were Warsaw (625,000 sq m in three zones) and Upper Silesia (562,000 sq m).<\/p>\n
\u201cCompanies that have made strategic decisions on long-term investments will not stop projects to complete constructions on time and thus not to interrupt the previously planned supply chain. The factor affecting delays may be the lack of employees, which results from the suspension of cross-border traffic or may be the result of infection at the construction site. However, if this does not happen, we forecast that the warehouses whose construction began in Q1 or earlier will be completed this year\u201d, says Maciej Chmielewski<\/strong>, senior partner, director of the Logistics and Industrial Agency at Colliers International.<\/p>\n<\/span>Sustainable approach<\/span><\/h2>\nBoth developers and tenants operating on the Polish I&L market are paying more and more attention to the environmental impact aspects. A good example could be the 7R company and its 7R Green concept, according to which the developer assumes construction of eco-friendly buildings equipped with ecological solutions, such as energy-saving photovoltaic panels, LED lightning system and sockets for charging electric vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
