PRS, insufficient supply, potential for growth in a quarter

The institutional rental housing (PRS) market in Poland is expanding rapidly, with 24,400 units operated by 33 investors as of Q1 2025—a 30% y/y increase, according to CBRE. Demand remains strong, driven by a housing shortage, high mortgage costs, and growing population mobility, especially in major cities. Leading operators include Resi4Rent, Vantage Rent, and a state-run fund. Rental prices range from PLN 75 to 136/m², with low vacancy rates of just 5%.
CBRE projects a further 26% growth in PRS stock by the end of 2025, exceeding 37,000 units by 2027. Investment fund interest is rising, with acquisitions extending across residential and mixed-use development zones. The sector’s future looks dynamic and resilient.
