Small developers struggling to go it alone
Mergers and acquisitions are expected to accelerate in Poland’s residential real estate sector, driven by market fragmentation, rising land costs, stricter regulations, and succession challenges. Deals such as acquisitions by Dom Development and Develia show how companies can quickly expand scale, enter new markets, and secure land banks.
Small developers struggle with limited capital and longer project timelines, making them more likely takeover targets. Larger firms benefit by acquiring land bought earlier at lower prices.
Joint ventures are also gaining popularity as an alternative to full acquisitions, helping share risks and financing needs. Experts highlight that generational succession issues in family businesses will further increase consolidation opportunities in the coming years.
