Apartment demand surges
Demand for new apartments in Poland’s seven largest cities accelerated in Q1 2026, underlining the sector’s resilience. Developers sold 12,900 units, up 11.1% quarter-on-quarter and 35.2% year-on-year, according to JLL.
Aleksandra Gawrońska said sales rose despite the long January-February holiday period and market uncertainty linked to conflict in the Middle East. Katowice posted the strongest quarterly growth at 51%, while sales also climbed sharply in Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków and Poznań.
Supply remains tight. Developers launched 10,300 units during the quarter, 27% fewer than in Q4 2025, with sales exceeding new supply in six of seven markets. Only Kraków saw launches outpace demand.
Builders are pressing ahead with expansion plans. Develia targets a record 4,350-4,500 units this year, while Archicom and Okam Capital are preparing further projects, including Warsaw’s large-scale FSO Park development.
