CTP has signed a 10-year lease for 21,000 sqm at CTPark Gdańsk Port with major Polish cargo operator Morska Agencja Gdynia (MAG).

The Polish industrial and logistics market is transitional between economic shifts. Demand for warehouse space declined primarily in the first half of 2023, with a resurgence in Q3, resulting in aggregate demand for the first three quarters of this year of 3.75 million sqm (-25% y/y, Q1-Q3 2022). Higher investment financing costs are affecting the volume of space under construction, with developers developing 2.5 million sqm at the end of September 2023 (-36% y/y). It also impacts the volume of space delivered, which amounted to 3.12 million sqm from January to the end of September (-13% y/y Q1-Q3 2022), says Axi Immo. 

Regesta, a logistics services provider will lease 21,700 sqm of warehouse space in Panattoni Park Zgierz. Its central warehouse will support its four existing warehouses across Poland, with another two under construction. The tenant was advised on the transaction by real estate advisory firm Newmark Polska.

According to a report prepared by Newmark Polska, development and occupier activity is focused on Poland’s six core warehouse markets: Warsaw and its suburbs, Upper Silesia, Central Poland, Lower Silesia, Greater Poland and the newcomer - Pomerania. Nearly 89% of the construction activity is concentrated in these regions, which accounted for almost 84% of the total leasing volume for the first three quarters of 2023. Meanwhile, a slight rental correction is being observed in some locations and industrial parks.

According to Cushman & Wakefield, leasing activity bounced back strongly on the Polish industrial market in Q3 2023. Meanwhile, development activity was largely driven by pre-lets and BTS projects, with rental rates remaining flat in most regions.
