In the current market situation, finding the right office can be a difficult and time-consuming task. The decision to choose the right place to grow your business is of great importance to its future. <\/p>\nMichal Karolkiewicz, Senior Consultant, Office Agency, Tenant Representation, Savills<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n An advisor is first and foremost a person who has an established knowledge and extensive experience of the office real estate market. The advantage in this sector is built by contacts and flow of information about vacant space, those already available and current market prices per square meter. Thanks to this, he is able to advise on the selection of suitable office space that will meet the needs of the company and provide optimal working conditions depending on the specific work of the team. The work of the agent, but also of the landlord , is facilitated by an extensive search engine for office properties, which can be found on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The consultant’s task is to learn in detail about the company’s specific business and expectations in terms of location, size of office space, layout of rooms, availability of amenities and many other issues.<\/p>\nMichal Karolkiewicz, Senior Consultant, Office Agency, Tenant Representation<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Companies in different sectors have their own individual needs and requirements that must be met in order for the rented space to be ideal for a particular team of employees. The consultant’s task is to get a detailed understanding of the company’s specific operations and expectations in terms of location, office space size, room layout, availability of amenities and much more. All this helps the advisor to tailor the right scope of services, which allows to plan the office leasing process in detail and then implement the best solutions. In addition to the transactional department, Savills offers technical and construction consulting, which together guarantee a comprehensive service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A detailed analysis of the offers is extremely important due to the highly competitive commercial real estate market. There are many buildings that offer similar office lease terms, but only a few of them will meet the client’s requirements 100%. One of the most important factors taken into account when analyzing offers, is the financial aspect. The consultant prepares a cost analysis, which includes not only the rent, but also operating costs, rent for parking spaces, administrative costs, taxes and other costs that make up the full monthly amount that the future tenant will eventually pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n An advisor in the lease of office space acts on behalf of the client, which means that in representing the client his goal is to ensure the best possible lease terms and secure the interests of the organization. He supports the company at every stage of the office lease process – from finding a suitable property, through negotiations, to signing the contract. Often his role goes even further and touches such aspects as the announcement of a joint success, which translates into building the client’s image and announcing its further expansion in the market. Renting an office is an investment for a long time, so it’s crucial that all possible aspects are as secure as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Savills’ latest study on the cost of prime office locations, office fit-out costs in Europe have risen by an average of 14 percent over the past year due to rising material and labor costs. As a result, in Warsaw, for example, there is an increasing level of shared investment by the tenant in fit-out. Depending on the market, these practices vary depending on whether the arrangement is typically paid for by the tenant or the landlord. Looking ahead, as the availability of prime space is depleted, we may begin to see further withdrawal of additional incentives by building owners. Tenants whose leases expire in 2025\/26 will benefit if they start looking for and negotiating new office space sooner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Renting office space is an important aspect that can affect the further development of a business, so it is worth taking it in a thoughtful manner. Using the services of an experienced consultant, we can do it in an informed manner that will save time and money in the company’s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nowadays, many companies face the challenge of finding the right office space to meet their requirements and needs.

The choice fell on the Central Point office building, where three floors with a total area of more than 2,200 square meters were to be used to create a space that departs from the usual patterns of a typical law office, offering top quality and innovative solutions. <\/p>\n\n The Savills consulting firm played a key role in the project. Not only did she help Bird & Bird with the process of leasing a new office, but also handled the complex arrangement of the space. The entire project was completed under the Open Book by Savills<\/a> formula, which allows the construction and design consultancy to fully manage the coordination of suppliers and subcontractors, resulting in significant savings for the client. With this formula, the client was able to have full control over project costs from the very beginning and be sure to get the best prices. Qualified inspectors supervised the work, and the entire project was managed by a team with a dedicated project manager from Savills.<\/p>\n\n The biggest challenge in designing a new office for Bird & Bird was cost optimization. Due to the specific nature of the client's work, it was necessary to design the space in an office layout, which involves high requirements for materials that meet strict fire safety standards and installation solutions. Thanks to the Open Book by Savills formula, it was possible to achieve real savings against the set budget, which could be spent on additional amenities and design elements. As a result, the Bird & Bird office has been even better planned and tailored to both the latest trends and the client's individual needs. <\/p>\n\n For companies, office design has become an increasingly important part of their identity and organizational culture. The design of office space has come a long way, with the main goal now being to provide the best possible conditions for concentration and productivity in the tasks at hand. Bird & Bird has set its sights on creating an employee-friendly workplace, combining a minimalist office style with distinctive colors that reflect team dynamics. Workplace, the company responsible for the project, is oriented towards the well-being of people and the planet, which is also why, among other things, care was taken to ensure that the furniture from the previous office was given a second life. <\/p>\n\n Savills' construction and design consulting team undertook comprehensive work on the project, starting with Shell & Core. The company has assumed responsibility for all design and implementation work, while also acting as general contractor and supervising the work of suppliers and subcontractors on behalf of the client. Executing the design of Bird & Bird's new office was an extremely exciting challenge, due to the scale and the need to customize the space to meet the individual needs of employees. The result is an office with a unique character that reflects the identity and dynamism of its users.<\/p>\n\n Savills, expanding its construction and design consulting services<\/a>, reported record revenues last year. The company's Polish branch has completed 70 finishing projects with a total office space exceeding 50,000. sq. m. The value of the work under the Open Book by Savills formula exceeded PLN 40 million. This demonstrates the growing interest in this form of investment and shows the success of this method of cost optimization.<\/p>\n\n\n In recent years, the cost of works has increased disproportionately to the contribution offered by the landlord. Open-book implementation, which reduces the cost of the works and thus the tenant's surcharge for fit-out, is the ideal answer. <\/p>\nMateusz Parzychowski, Associate, Senior Project Manager, Building & Project Consultancy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n The design of Bird & Bird's new office and the Open Book by Savills formula are becoming an inspiration for other companies that are looking for solutions to optimize office arrangement costs. By working with professional construction and design consultants, it is possible to create an office space that not only meets the highest quality standards, but also meets the individual needs and values of the company. <\/p>\n\n How are tenants adapting to the changing reality of the office market? What challenges and expectations do companies have after the past years of digital transformation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic? These questions were answered by Karol Grejbus, director in the tenant representation department at Savills. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n The year 2024 will bring significant changes for companies as tenants of office space. We will see them adapt to new working models. On the one hand, we will see further changes in the scaling of demand for office space, while on the other, we will see an increased interest in high standards in attractive locations. This is a trend that generates savings, but also poses new challenges. <\/p>\n\n The year 2024 will bring significant changes for companies as tenants of office space. We will see them adapt to new work models. <\/p>\nKarol Grejbus, director in the tenant representation<\/a> department at Savills<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n The rental market is also evolving. The processes of relocating or renegotiating leases now take longer, often as long as 12 months or more. Moreover, we are noticing a tendency for tenants to prefer shorter contracts in renegotiation processes, which is in line with the dynamically changing market. Green leases are becoming not insignificant for the market. Starting in 2024, a certain group of companies, according to the CSRD, will have to start collecting the data necessary for new ESG reports. <\/p>\n\n Pandemic has shown us the benefits of flexible work models. Many companies are moving toward a hybrid model, combining remote work with an in-office presence. This translates into less need for renting a traditional office and opens the door for more flexible solutions, such as serviced offices. <\/p>\n\n Karol Grejbus<\/strong> is responsible for developing an offering dedicated to office space tenants and for providing companies with comprehensive support in the leasing process and assistance in responding to the current challenges of providing employees with office space adapted to new work models.<\/p>\n\n Modern offices are increasingly focusing on multifunctionality. Instead of traditional layouts, companies are opting for spaces tailored to different needs - conference rooms, collaboration zones, coworking spaces. Investments in modern technologies and tools allow more efficient office management, which is also visible in costs. New solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI) will appear on the market. However, these innovative solutions will have to address growing concerns, including data confidentiality, which currently inhibit their implementation in corporations. The development of PropTech (Read our article on PropTech solutions<\/a>), or technologies dedicated to real estate, will therefore not only be a matter of introducing new tools, but also of adapting and integrating them into existing systems and business processes. At the level of tools, we are facing an evolution rather than a revolution. We also expect a marriage between ESG and PropTech, where data measurement and optimization will become part of the certification associated with the implementation of ESG activities .<\/a> <\/p>\n\n Office space is critical to building organizational culture. Companies are increasingly designing offices as inspiring and welcoming workplaces that foster employee engagement and efficiency. Employees and employers have different expectations for productivity: employees focus on individual productivity in a well-organized home space, while employers prioritize team efficiency, which often comes with challenges in hybrid work. However, what is often overlooked in the discussion of this topic is that it is important for an organization to think in terms of collaboration and efficiency of the entire team in order to operate effectively. <\/p>\n\n In conclusion, 2024 will be a time of new challenges, but also opportunities for companies leasing office space. Changing needs, as well as trends toward space optimization and flexibility in leases, draw a new picture of the office market. <\/p>\n\n Stay tuned for our upcoming posts, where we will continue to analyze and discuss current trends in the real estate market!<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n","post_title":"New trends in the office market in 2024","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"new-trends-in-the-office-market-in-2024","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-01-16 09:00:05","post_modified_gmt":"2026-01-16 08:00:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/savills.przemeknova.usermd.net\/new-trends-in-the-office-market-in-2024","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":20110,"post_author":"2","post_date":"2025-03-06 14:33:56","post_date_gmt":"2025-03-06 13:33:56","post_content":"\n 2024 was an exceptionally dynamic year for Warsaw's flexible office space market. Operators in Warsaw leased 28,600 sqm in 16 locations, representing almost 70% year-on-year growth. The most active player was The Shire - Beyond Coworking, which managed to lease more than 9,400 sqm in 5 locations. At the end of the year, the capital offered nearly 205,000 sq. m. of coworking space in 85 locations with about 25,000 workstations. 72% of the space occupied by flex operators is located in the center. This year, the flex office offering will expand by at least 6,000 sqm of new space currently under development. Savills experts point out that Warsaw coworking spaces are diverse in size, with the average area of such an office being 2,400 sqm. <\/p>\n\n The market for flexible office space in Poland is constantly evolving, and we foresee further changes in 2025 that will strengthen it. The emergence of new players, such as The Shire - Beyond Coworking and Ace of Space, testifies to the growing potential of this segment. It is worth noting that Ace of Space - an operator owned by Globalworth - brings unique know-how to the market resulting from synergies between operator and property owner. Globalworth manages a portfolio of facilities in major Polish cities offering nearly 580,000 sq. ft. sq. m. rental space, and consequently has experience in designing and delivering modern spaces.<\/p>\nThomas Jodar, Head of Workthere Poland, Savills Polska A particularly interesting trend is the growing popularity of flexible rentals not only among small and medium-sized businesses, but also among large corporations. Companies are increasingly looking for models that offer both comfort and the ability to customize the space to suit their individual needs. <\/p>\n\n Worthere Savills experts note the trend of operators signing their first contracts in the \"management agreements\" model. The perception of such contracts in the flex segment abroad and in Poland is gradually changing and more and more owners and operators are opting for it. The definition of this type of contract can be somewhat vague, as there are many ways to structure it. However, the common denominator in it is a revenue and profit sharing model between the property owner and its operator. <\/p>\n\n From the operators' perspective, the \"management agreement\" is an attractive formula, because it allows them to maintain greater flexibility and reduce capital commitment without having to sign a traditional lease. Property owners have been somewhat skeptical until recently, fearing the risks of not having a formal lease and the potential impact on property values. However, they are increasingly recognizing the benefits of a well-structured lease, which can translate into higher revenues and is better suited to the growing expectations of investors who want to offer flexible office space in their buildings. In developed markets, the effect is that the number of operators who prefer this model has increased markedly in recent years. <\/p>\nThomas Jodar, Head of Workthere Poland, Savills Polska Serviced offices are an increasingly attractive option not only for small companies, but also for medium and large enterprises that need flexible solutions in the era of hybrid work. Due to the need to respond quickly to changing business expectations - for example, with a sudden need to increase space, create a more creative environment for selected teams or provide a convenient location - corporations are eager to use flex's as a convenient alternative to classic leasing. The growing range of offerings on the market is attracting companies from a variety of sectors, including IT, finance, media, logistics or cyber-security, which are keen to instantly adapt their space to their current challenges and growth plans. <\/p>\n\n As the importance of flexible offices grows, so do tenants' expectations regarding the standard of service. After the pandemic, there has been a noticeable trend toward choosing top-quality spaces that support productivity and build corporate image. Operators who focus on providing top-notch service and support will gain a competitive advantage and increase occupancy rates. <\/p>\n\n Analyses by Workthere Savills experts also show that 2025 will bring increased competition among operators. In addition to global leaders, new players such as Industrious and Cubo will emerge and dynamically expand their operations in Europe. At the same time, ESG principles, which entail sustainable development, will become increasingly important. As a result, well-designed office spaces create a comfortable and healthy work environment, which in turn has an impact on employee satisfaction and productivity. Operators must respond to these needs in order to remain competitive in a changing market environment. <\/p>\n\n The flex office market is entering the next stage of development, and Warsaw, being one of the most important European business centers, remains at the forefront of these changes. This is influenced by the need to respond quickly and flexibly to the changing needs of tenants and global trends. As a result, the Polish capital is strengthening its position as one of the leaders of innovative solutions in the real estate sector, attracting both national and international companies looking for modern solutions. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Flexible offices in 2025: new trends and developments","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"flexible-offices-in-2025-new-trends-and-developments","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2026-01-16 09:38:09","post_modified_gmt":"2026-01-16 08:38:09","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/savills.przemeknova.usermd.net\/flexible-offices-in-2025-new-trends-and-developments","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"wstep":" Office space is an important part of a company’s image that influences how it is perceived by clients, business partners, investors and, most importantly, employees.
