Data centers are a growing pillar of the real estate market
Poland’s data center capacity has doubled in recent years, driven by digital transformation, public funding, and cloud service demand, experts said at the Property Forum. Warsaw remains the main regional hub, hosting about one-third of all Polish facilities. Panelists noted that construction companies are increasingly becoming investors, while barriers such as land availability, regulations, and administrative delays still hinder growth. Poland is viewed as a “positive island” for investment, attracting capital redirected from Western Europe, the U.S., and China.
Key growth drivers include e-commerce, cloud computing, and digitalization of government and healthcare. Experts emphasized the need for better coordination between national and local authorities to maintain momentum in this rapidly expanding sector.
