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

Adapting companies to the new reality of the office market<\/strong><\/h3>\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

Time required for office rentals and leases<\/strong><\/h3>\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

Flexibility and new work models<\/strong><\/h3>\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

\"\"<\/figure>\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

Multipurpose space and innovation <\/strong><\/h4>\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

Organizational culture and office space<\/strong><\/h4>\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

\"\"<\/figure>\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

WARSAW GETTING STRONGER IN FLEXIBLE OFFICE MARKET IN EUROPE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\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

\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

COOPERATION IN THE MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS MODEL<\/strong><\/h3>\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

\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

CORPORATIONS LIKE SERVICED OFFICES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

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

TENANTS VALUE THE STANDARD OF SERVICE<\/strong><\/h3>\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

A NEW WAVE OF OPERATORS AND AN INCREASE IN STANDARDS<\/strong><\/h3>\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 property owners and tenants have accepted that hybrid work will stay with us for longer. After nearly three years of combining remote and fixed work, companies are better able to estimate how much office space they actually need. Offices are still needed, but the strategies for large corporations’ real estate portfolios and their approach to shaping the work environment are changing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n","spis_tresci":"
