Historically high interest in offices in Polish cities

Good quality, modern, green office buildings in Poland's largest regional cities are attracting domestic and foreign companies. In the first half of this year, demand reached 343,000 sqm of space, one of the highest levels ever, according to a CBRE report. Compared to the same period last year, the interest increased by 30 percent. The highest demand was recorded in Kraków and Wrocław. Almost half of all were contracts for new office space (47 percent). In the first six months of this year, almost 312,000 sqm of office space was put into use in regional cities in Poland. This now totals more than 6.3 million sqm. 

"The IT and business services sectors were primarily responsible for this high interest in offices in Poland's largest cities. The IT industry signed 28 percent of all contracts concluded for office space in the first half of 2022. More than a quarter, or 26 percent, was signed by business services. Manufacturing and energy were also in the top three, accounting for 17 percent of total demand. We are also seeing increasing demand for flexible offices, especially from new tenants and large players," Kamil Tyszkiewicz, head of regional markets at CBRE, said.
