By the end of the year, the combined total office stock in the eight biggest regional cities exceeded Warsaw’s stock, reaching 5.6m sq m. Moreover, together with the increase in stock, the demand for office space is also growing. At the end of 2019 the annual take-up had reached some 700,000 sq m - the highest historical result. The growth in demand has translated into high developer activity. Another record- breaking figure was recorded with the exceptionally high annual new supply reaching almost 550,000 sq m. It seems likely this trend may persist due to the high volume of supply under construction – the figure of 950,000 sq m being similar to the result seen at the end of 2018.

  • Biurowe Wieże Rosną W Centrum I Na Bliskiej Woli Artur
    Biurowe wieże rosną w centrum i na bliskiej Woli Z głową nad chmurami Wieżowce zmieniają panoramę Warszawy, wkrótce będziemy w czołówce najwyższych stolic w Europie – mówi Artur Sutor, Partner i dyrektor Działu Reprezentacji Najemców Biurowych w Cresa Polska. W 2021 roku, w sąsiedztwie Dworca Centralnego, ukończony zostanie najwyższy – nie tylko w Polsce, ale i w całej Unii Europejskiej – budynek Varso Tower. Razem z iglicą będzie miał 310 m, dla porównania – do dzisiaj najwyższy w kraju – Pałac Kultury i Nauki ma 237 m. Varso Tower zaoferuje najemcom biurowym ponad 66 tys. mkw. nowoczesnej powierzchni. Drapacze chmur rosną głównie w okolicach Ronda Daszyńskiego i ulicy Towarowej, w kierunku których od kilku lat przesuwa się biznesowe centrum stolicy. Większość biurowych wież będzie oddawana do użytku w kilkumiesięcznych odstępach przez najbliższe trzy lata. Jako pierwsze zostaną oddane – Mennica Legacy Tower – jeszcze w tym roku, oraz Skyliner czy The Warsaw Hub – w przyszłym. Powierzchnia biurowa 11 budynków wysokościowych mierzących powyżej 100 m, które są w trakcie realizacji lub na zaawansowanym etapie przygotowania, wynosi ponad 570.000 mkw. Ich łączna wysokość to prawie 1,7 km (licząc tylko wysokość do dachu). Dla przykładu wysokość istniejących już 13 wież biurowych to także około 1,7 km. Idziemy na rekord. Panorama miasta za kilka lat zmieni się diametralnie. Dodatkowo kilka spektakularnych obiektów jest jeszcze w fazie projektowania, np. Warsaw One przy Rondzie ONZ (dawny Ilmet), Nowa Emilia przy E. Plater, Łucka 7/9 czy inwestycja przy placu Grzybowskim. W Warszawie powstają także wysokościowe projekty mieszkaniowe czy hotelowe. Stolica się zmienia, a projekty realizują u nas światowej sławy biura architektoniczne.

  • Shopping in Office Buildings
    Poland | Retail Market SHOPPING IN OFFICE BUILDINGS Q1 2018 Poland | Retail Market CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 3 THE WARSAW 4 OFFICE MARKET USERS’ 7 EXPECTATIONS RETAIL AND SERVICE 11 OUTLETS AMSTERDAM, FRANKFURT, 18 LONDON… Poland | Retail Market INTRODUCTION Warsaw’s office market has been developing rapidly since the 1990s – currently, almost 530,000 people work in approximately 500 modern office buildings in the city, spending often more than eight hours a day in them. What retail and service outlets, in terms of both size and quality, are provided to them by office buildings? Is it sufficient, especially given the highly competitive labour market in the capital? Is the list of commercial tenants in office buildings diversified? Which sectors, in addition to catering, are developing in these locations? And finally, is there any one ‘recipe’ for successful retail and services and does this function constitute added value in every case? Colliers International experts studied retail and service outlets in the capital’s office buildings in February and March 2018 and they looked at approximately 300 buildings (all that have commercial premises). We researched location by office zones, the number and size of units, tenants by sectors, vacancy and the level of rents and service fees. A survey, carried out on a sample of approximately 200 employees of Warsaw office buildings in March this year, is an integral part of our report. In the survey, we asked respondents about the quality of the existing retail and service outlets in their workplace and their expectations about them. The report also includes several examples of investments from Amsterdam, Frankfurt and London that show an innovative approach to complementary functions in office buildings, depending on their location.

The Warsaw office market has reached maturity after three decades of spectacular development. Since 1990, when the supply was very limited following the fall of communism, now the stock of modern office space has grown to more than 5.6m sqm. However, in the two editions of our What? survey, one of the most interesting findings has been the decreasing number of building permits issued for office developments. Is this a sign The Crane Survey measures the volume of office development in Warsaw. We have analysed all of an approaching slowdown?

Po trzech dekadach rozwoju, warszawski rynek biurowy osiąga dojrzałość, nie tracąc swojej witalności. Przeprowadziliśmy analizę istniejącego i przyszłego zasobu biurowego Warszawy, względem dzielnic administracyjnych miasta. Badanie Crane Survey analizuje zarówno bieżące zasoby warszawskiego rynku biurowego, jak i inwestycje realizowane i planowane, które uzyskały pozwolenia na budowę. Dzięki współpracy z Miastem st. Warszawa przeanalizowaliśmy pozwolenia na budowę, wydane w ciągu ostatnich 10 lat, co daje nam pełny przegląd trendów wpływających na działania deweloperskie. Jednym z najciekawszych ustaleń raportu jest malejąca liczba wydawanych pozwoleń na budowę dla nowoczesnych projektów biurowych. Czy to znak zbliżającego się spowolnienia na rynku biurowym stolicy? Odpowiedzi będziemy szukać w kolejnych wydaniach publikacji. Warto zaznaczyć, że pandemia COVID-19 wydłużyła procedury administracyjne, lecz nie wpłynęła na liczbę rozpoczętych projektów oraz prac konstrukcyjnych na projektach biurowych w Warszawie.

Most high-rise office projects will be delivered several months apart in the space of the next three years. Mennica Legacy Tower is the first one to be completed this year; the next in line are Skyliner and the Warsaw Hub, which are scheduled for 2020.
