CBRE: retail market in Poland evolving around key factors defining property value

Poland’s retail market is evolving around a new “alphabet” of key factors defining property value: A – Attractiveness, V – Visibility, F – Functionality, T – Technical Standards, and S – Sustainability. According to Karolina Kunciak, Director for High Streets at CBRE, success on shopping streets now depends on more than location — factors like architectural appeal, accessibility, tenant mix, and sustainable design are equally crucial. Retail properties must meet growing expectations for technical quality, efficient layouts, and environmental responsibility.
Developments such as Royal Wilanów and Lixa illustrate how mixed-use spaces and strong functionality enhance both leasing potential and long-term asset value, setting new benchmarks for Poland’s evolving retail landscape.
