IT and finance choose Tri-City

Every year there is a new workspace in the Tri-City, which quickly finds its tenants. The coronavirus did not slow down the intensive development of this market. This year alone, the city will have a total of almost 68,000 sqm of new offices, of which over 60,000 sqm has already been put into use. Gdańsk Oliwa is still developing the fastest, but the so-called A young city that attracts investments with a good location. It is easiest to find companies from the IT and finance sectors in Tri-City office buildings.

“Although the demand for offices in the Tri-City is still high, the amount of free space has increased slightly. The most popular locations are along the route of Szybka Kolej Miejska and Aleja Grunwaldzka. So far, Gdańsk Oliwa, located in the geographical center of the agglomeration, has developed the fastest. We can see, however, that the future of the Tri-City office market belongs to the so-called Young City, which is closer to the traditional center of Gdańsk and to the Wrzeszcz district. Traditionally, the Łużycka region in Gdynia and its close neighborhood are also developing in the form of the Metropolitan Railway, the SKM railway and the Riviera shopping center,” Mariusz Wiśniewski, Director of CBRE's Office Agency Department and head of the CBRE branch in the Tri-City, said.

Currently, there is nearly 900,000 sqm of modern office space, of which 9.42 percent is empty. Only since the beginning of this year, more than 60,000 sqm of new space have arrived and plans by the end of 2021 amount to as much as 126,000 sqm. In total, almost 140,000 sqm are under construction and in 2021 it will be record-breaking in terms of commissioning new office space and will break the record from 2015 when 86,000 sqm was delivered.

The office buildings in Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot are dominated mainly by companies from the IT and financial sectors.
