More and more interest in warehouses in Western Poland

The total supply of modern warehouse space in Western Poland, after completion of 73,300 sqm in 2020, amounted to 693,000 sqm at the end of December. Most of the investments are BTS projects. However, there is a noticeable increase in the share of multi-tenant warehouse parks with space offered for rent.

The area of ​​Western Poland is the youngest among the warehouse markets in Poland. It covers a fairly large area consisting of towns located along the western border of Poland, mostly in the Lubuskie Voivodeship, but also partly in the Lower Silesia Voivodeship, and more precisely in the Legnica-Głogów subregion. The main centers are Legnica, Zielona Góra and Gorzów Wielkopolski. However, none of these markets is clearly dominant in terms of modern warehouse space. In 2020, they accounted for 18 percent, 16 percent, and 7 percent of the total supply, respectively.

“The potential of Western Poland is more and more often noticed by the largest developers who appreciate its strategic location in relation to Western markets. Thanks to the developed road network, the proximity of freight stations and airports in Wrocław and Zielona Góra, these areas ensure efficient communication not only with other regions of Poland but also with Western European countries. Companies can also count on a large base of potential employees. We can expect that the interest in investing in warehouses in Western Poland will systematically grow,” Agnieszka Bogucka, an analyst in the Advisory and Market Research Department at Colliers, forecasted.
