WARSAW: POLAND About 800,000 sqm of office space was completed in 2016 in Poland, which according to JLL is the largest amount of space ever delivered to the Polish office market. This represents a 25 pct rise on office space deliveries in 2015. Half of the space (app. 400,000 sqm) came onto the Warsaw market. Overall office stock in Poland in 2016 exceeded 9 mln sqm with Warsaw alone having a 5 mln sqm share. “Developer activity continues apace – there is app. 1.4 million sqm of new space under development in Poland, with the lion’s share located in Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław and the TriCity. It is worth noting that Kraków will exceed the threshold of 1 mln sqm of office space in 2017 being the second Polish city, after Warsaw to do so. Furthermore, Olivia Star – the tallest office building in Northern Poland – will be delivered to the market in Gdańsk”, said Mateusz Polkowski, the head of research and consulting at JLL
Office deliveries in Warsaw included such projects as the Warsaw Spire and Q22 towers. The biggest projects outside Warsaw included Business Garden I in Wrocław, Tryton Business House in Gdańsk, Maraton I&II in Poznań, University Business Park II in Łódź, Pegaz in Wrocław, C200 in Gdańsk and O3 Business Campus I in Kraków.
