Polish market maturing

Kamil Kowa, Managing Director of Savills Poland, says the country’s real estate sector is entering a more mature phase, requiring bolder decisions. 

He sees strong potential in Poland but points to structural obstacles: weak domestic capital, lack of REITs, limited pension-fund investment in real estate, and unpredictable spatial planning.

Future growth will come from rental housing, senior living, and logistics; data centers will depend on energy infrastructure. He warns that reliance on foreign investors limits market stability and urges reforms enabling REITs and more local investment.

Kamil began in residential sales during university, later joining EY’s real estate team, working on large portfolio projects across Europe. A decade later, he moved to Savills to lead valuations and helped develop early student housing and PRS projects. Now CEO, Kowa promotes low-bureaucracy, collaborative leadership and wants Savills to work “with clients, not in silos.”
