Polish housing consolidates
Poland’s residential development sector is heading toward a wave of mergers and acquisitions as companies confront rising land costs, fragmented competition and succession challenges, according to the report Mergers and Acquisitions on the Residential Market in Poland by JLL Living and Crido.
Poland is one of Europe’s most active housing markets, delivering nearly 200,000 apartments in 2024—slightly fewer than Germany’s 215,000 but more than the UK’s 184,000. Over the past five years, the country accounted for 52% of new housing supply in Central and Eastern Europe, with the Warsaw region alone building almost as many homes as Bulgaria.
Yet the sector remains highly fragmented, with hundreds of developers operating in major cities.
Large players are increasingly expanding through acquisitions to secure land, enter new markets and scale operations. Succession issues in family-owned firms—two-thirds still run by first-generation founders—are also expected to accelerate consolidation.
