More companies choosing to renegotiate leases instead of moving

Rising costs, inflation, and changes in work models have reshaped Poland’s office market. Instead of relocating, many companies now renegotiate lease agreements to avoid high fit-out and moving expenses. Limited supply of attractive office space, especially in central locations, also supports this trend. Negotiations increasingly focus not only on rental rates but on broader terms: rent-free periods, landlord contributions to fit-out, indexing rules, and operational costs. Both tenants and landlords are more open to dialogue, seeking flexible, long-term arrangements that balance financial stability with workplace comfort, ESG standards, and the ability to scale space up or down.

Experts note the market is normalizing, with more tailored, partnership-based lease agreements becoming the new standard.
