Polish Commercial Real Estate Reawakens

The European Central Bank’s 25-basis-point rate cut is already rippling across Poland’s commercial real estate market, with investors regaining confidence and transaction volumes rising. According to recent data, the value of deals in the first quarter of 2025 jumped 72 percent y/y, marking the highest number of completed agreements in two years.
“This is the boost we’ve been waiting for. Lower financing costs are making real estate a compelling asset class again. We’re seeing increased activity, particularly in logistics, rental housing, and data centers,” Mark Richardson, Head of Investment at Savills, said.
While the full impact will unfold over the coming quarters, early signs indicate renewed market liquidity and capital inflows, both domestic and foreign. However, the office and retail sectors remain under pressure, requiring flexible valuations and innovative asset management strategies.
