Ready-to-occupy space in focus<\/strong><\/p>\nIn Warsaw\u2019s first zone, tenants were primarily seeking quick business start-ups, often within 2\u20133 months of signing a lease. Availability of units and efficient delivery of office space were key factors.<\/p>\n
Last-mile logistics drives demand<\/strong><\/p>\nMost transactions were concentrated in the 2,000\u20133,000 sqm range, although some projects reached 8,000\u201310,000 sqm. Demand was largely distribution- and city-oriented. Incentives such as rent-free periods and fit-out budgets for office and warehouse space played a major role in negotiations.<\/p>\n
Employee-friendly locations as a key advantage<\/strong><\/p>\nTenants paid close attention to office quality and functionality, parking availability, and good connectivity to the city. Targ\u00f3wek and the Ok\u0119cie area remained among the most popular locations.<\/p>\n
Green logistics gains importance<\/strong><\/p>\nSustainability is becoming increasingly relevant, with tenants more frequently including photovoltaic installations in lease negotiations. Environmental aspects are gaining priority, particularly in urban logistics projects.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>Warsaw II \u2013 Outside the City<\/span><\/h3>\nLease renewals dominate demand structure<\/strong><\/p>\nLease renegotiations remained the main market activity. Demand for large modules was limited, as most tenants maintained their current scale or opted for only minor expansions.<\/p>\n
Pressure on rents<\/strong><\/p>\nNewly completed projects increased price competition with older, cheaper facilities. This resulted in pressure on effective rents and greater landlord flexibility in incentive packages, strengthening tenants\u2019 negotiating position.<\/p>\n
Cautious approach to new developments<\/strong><\/p>\nSeveral new warehouse projects were delivered in 2025, though some were still in commercialization phases awaiting first lease agreements. Speculative development remained limited, with new investments approached cautiously.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2025, the Warsaw warehouse market entered a phase of greater balance, transitioning from dynamic expansion to more selective growth. A more cautious developer approach and projects largely secured by demand contributed to improved supply balance. At the same time, a significant share of activity focused on immediately available space meeting tenants\u2019 current needs.\u201d

\n<\/span>Upper Silesia<\/span><\/h3>\nMarket in numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 6.2 million sqm of existing space<\/li>\n

- \u20ac3.80 \u2013 \u20ac5.40 \/ sqm \/ month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Risk-aware tenants<\/strong><\/p>\nTenants showed greater caution, opting less frequently for relocations and more often renegotiating existing leases, focusing on cost optimization and operational efficiency. Expansions were more deliberate and tied to real business growth.<\/p>\n
Market driven by logistics and production<\/strong><\/p>\nKey locations such as Gliwice, Sosnowiec, and Ruda \u015al\u0105ska saw the highest activity. The region continues to attract companies combining logistics and manufacturing operations, including automotive sector players, confirming its diversified and resilient character.<\/p>\n
ESG as a competitive advantage<\/strong><\/p>\nBase rents remained stable, with moderate new supply not exerting significant downward pressure. However, technical quality and ESG factors\u2014such as environmental certifications, photovoltaic systems, improved insulation, and energy-efficient lighting\u2014are increasingly important for competitiveness.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2025, the Upper Silesian warehouse market entered a stabilization phase after years of rapid growth. Supply and demand began to balance, and developer activity became more selective. Speculative development was reduced, with a focus on pre-let secured projects and BTS schemes tailored to tenants\u2019 needs.\u201d

\n<\/span>Wroc\u0142aw<\/span><\/h3>\nMarket in numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 5.5 million sqm of existing space<\/li>\n
- 130,000 sqm under construction<\/li>\n
- \u20ac3.15 \u2013 \u20ac5.50 \/ sqm \/ month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Leader in new supply<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2025, Wroc\u0142aw was among the most active warehouse markets in Poland in terms of new supply, with over 300,000 sqm delivered, placing it among the top three regions in the country.<\/p>\n
Growing role of production projects<\/strong><\/p>\nLower Silesia continues to attract investments from automotive, electronics, and component manufacturing sectors. A significant share of demand focused on facilities adaptable for light production or delivered in build-to-suit formats.<\/p>\n
Stabilization after rapid growth<\/strong><\/p>\nFollowing a dynamic expansion period (2021\u20132023), the market stabilized in 2024\u20132025. Developers approached speculative projects more cautiously, often launching them only after securing tenants.<\/p>\n
Higher availability (vacancy rates of approx. 9\u201311%) gave tenants more time and flexibility in decision-making.<\/p>\n
Rental stabilization<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter previous increases, rents stabilized in 2025, typically ranging between \u20ac3.15 and \u20ac5.50 per sqm\/month, depending on location, building standard, and lease length.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Wroc\u0142aw agglomeration remains one of Poland\u2019s key logistics and production hubs, benefiting from proximity to Germany and the Czech Republic and well-developed infrastructure. Despite stabilization, it continues to be one of the most attractive warehouse locations in the country.\u201d

\n<\/span>Central Poland<\/span><\/h3>\nMarket in numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 5.3 million sqm of existing space<\/li>\n
- 170,000 sqm under construction<\/li>\n
- \u20ac3.50 \u2013 \u20ac4.60 \/ sqm \/ month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fourth-largest warehouse market<\/strong><\/p>\nAt the end of 2025, Central Poland accounted for around 14% of the country\u2019s total warehouse stock, remaining one of the largest logistics markets despite being overtaken by Lower Silesia.<\/p>\n
Logistics-driven region<\/strong><\/p>\nThe region serves as a central distribution hub for Poland, with large logistics centers handling both domestic and international operations.<\/p>\n
Rising demand for ESG solutions<\/strong><\/p>\nEnergy efficiency and sustainability are increasingly important, with tenants favoring facilities equipped with photovoltaic systems, energy-saving technologies, and environmental certifications such as BREEAM.<\/p>\n
\u201cDemand is increasingly focused on cross-dock (x-dock) warehouses enabling fast transshipment and reduced storage time, driven by urban logistics growth and rising expectations for faster delivery.\u201d
\n\u2013 Katarzyna Burli\u0144ska, Senior Consultant, Industrial Agency<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/span>Pozna\u0144<\/span><\/h3>\nMarket in numbers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 4.0 million sqm of existing space<\/li>\n
- 40,000 sqm under construction<\/li>\n
- \u20ac3.65 \u2013 \u20ac6.00 \/ sqm \/ month<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Rising vacancy and cautious market sentiment<\/strong><\/p>\n2025 marked a slowdown for the Pozna\u0144 warehouse market, with increased availability leading to higher vacancy rates and more cautious behavior from both developers and tenants. Speculative projects were limited, and investment activity slowed significantly.<\/p>\n
Logistics and retail tenants dominate<\/strong><\/p>\nDemand structure remained conservative, similar to other regions, with logistics and retail companies dominating and renegotiations prevailing over new leases.<\/p>\n
Demand driven by lease extensions<\/strong><\/p>\nLimited large-scale tenders and relatively high availability meant most transactions involved maintaining existing locations or leasing smaller units compared to major hubs like Warsaw or Central Poland.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite competitive rental rates, Pozna\u0144 did not attract many large relocations in 2025. However, the market remains highly responsive\u2014single large inquiries can quickly revive activity, highlighting its underlying potential.\u201d
