An analysis by Savills Poland of more than 300 tenants in Szczecin’s modern offices indicates that they are highly diversified by industry. It stabilizes the local market and underscores the city’s important role as the business center of northwestern Poland. <\/p>\n\n
The dominant group of tenants are companies from the business services sector (24%) and banking, insurance and investment (12%). This confirms the importance of Szczecin as a regional financial and service center. The manufacturing sector is also strong (12%), with an increasingly important role played by companies related to renewable energy (RES) and the production of specialized equipment. <\/p>\n\n
The IT industry is also an important element of the local economy, accounting for 10% of tenants. The presence of technology companies and the development of digital services prove Szczecin’s position as a hub for innovation and modern services. <\/p>\n\n
The logistics sector is also strong (10%), which is directly related to Szczecin’s location, access to a seaport and proximity to Western European and Scandinavian markets, as well as developed transport infrastructure. The city is an important link in European supply chains, and transportation and logistics companies generate demand for space tailored to their needs. <\/p>\n\n
The health sector, on the other hand, accounting for 7% of tenants, no longer includes only public facilities, but increasingly private clinics, dispensaries and other medical facilities, reporting growing demand for modern office space.<\/p>\n\n
\n– The industry diversity of office tenants in Szczecin is high. The strong position of business services and finance companies, the support of rapidly growing manufacturing – including those related to renewable energy sources – and the growing share of medical, IT and logistics companies make the city an attractive location for many companies. This diverse profile makes the office market in Szczecin resilient to fluctuations in individual sectors, which may translate into growth prospects in the years to come <\/em> \u2013 <\/p>\nsays Wioleta Wojtczak<\/strong>, Head of Research, Savills.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
\n– With a student population of more than 30,000, Szczecin has a solid base of qualified human resources. This advantage, combined with its convenient location, is a key factor in the steady, albeit gradual, development of the local office market. According to ABSL data, there are 68 service centers in the city, which together employ 8,500 people. It is worth noting that employment in this sector has increased by 2,100 people since Q1 2020. The further development of services, innovative sectors and logistics testifies to the promising nature and potential of the Szczecin market. <\/em>– <\/p>\nnotes Jaroslaw Jachura<\/strong>, Senior Consultant, Research, Savills.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

The total stock of modern office space in the main markets outside the capital, i.e. Krak\u00f3w, Wroc\u0142aw, the Tri-City, Katowice, Pozna\u0144, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Lublin and Szczecin, totaled 6.63 million sq. m. at the end of September 2023. According to the latest Savills report \"Market in Minutes: the Office Market in Regional Cities,\"<\/em> in three regional cities (Krakow, Wroclaw and the Tri-City) office stock exceeds the level of 1 million sq. m., in another three the stock is between 600 and 750 thousand sq. m. (Katowice, Pozna\u0144 and \u0141\u00f3d\u017a), while in the two smallest markets (Lublin and Szczecin) they do not exceed 225 thousand sq. m. <\/p>\n\n
Since the beginning of the year, 16 new developments have been completed in regional markets, with a total area exceeding 236,000 sqm. The largest new projects completed in 2023 include: Ocean Office Park (building B5 28,600 sqm in Krakow; Cavatina), Craft (26,700 sqm in Katowice, Ghelamco) and Nowy Rynek (building E, 25,100 sqm in Poznan, Skanska). <\/p>\n\n
As of the end of September 2023, nearly 482,000 sqm of modern office space was under construction in major regional cities (down 19% year-on-year in 2022). Nearly 92,000 sqm is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2023, and another 227,000 sqm will be delivered in 2024. The largest amount of office space under construction is in Wroc\u0142aw (121,700 sqm), with Krakow (86,000 sqm) and Katowice (84,200 sqm) being the next markets on the podium.<\/p>\n\n
According to Savills data, nearly 532,000 sqm was leased in regional markets between January and the end of September 2023, representing a 19% increase compared to the same period in 2022. The largest demand was in the IT sector, where tenants leased more than 148,000 sqm. (28% of total demand). Demand generated by the manufacturing sector accounted for a 12% share, while the business services sector accounted for another 11% and the financial sector for 10%. Flexible office space operators leased more than 19,000 sqm, which accounted for 4% of total demand.<\/p>\n\n
\n\"The high interest in leasing offices in regional markets allows us to expect that tenant activity for the whole of 2023 will be close to the highest result recorded so far in 2019. There is a growing trend among tenants to seek to optimize occupied office space through in-depth analysis of occupancy needs during relocation processes. They are looking for downtown offices that guarantee easy access to public transportation. Some companies are choosing to downsize their existing occupied office space, sometimes in favor of a more prestigious office, with more efficient use of space and an arrangement that meets the needs of employees. When choosing an office, tenants are also increasingly guided by the need to meet ESG and EU taxonomy requirements.\" - <\/p>\nsays Jaroslaw Pilch<\/strong>, director of office space, tenant representation at Savills, who also heads Workthere in Poland.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
The low net absorption rate of 76,000 sqm. (down 65% year-on-year), translated into an increase in the vacancy rate in regional cities to 17.3% (up 210 basis points year-on-year) - office space that was available to tenants at the end of September exceeded 1.14 million sq. m. in total in all cities. Comparing this to the same period in 2022, only two cities saw vacancy rates fall - Tri-City (40 basis points year-on-year) to just over 13%, and Lublin (280 basis points year-on-year) below 13%. The highest vacancy rates were recorded in Katowice (over 23%) and Lodz (nearly 23%). Only one city - Szczecin - had a vacancy rate below 10% (5.2%),<\/p>\n\n
Rental levels for office space in regional cities remain relatively stable across most markets. A slight adjustment was observed in Krak\u00f3w, where at the end of September rents ranged between EUR 14 and 16 per sq m per month, and in Wroc\u0142aw, where they stood at EUR 14 to 15.75 per sq m per month. The lowest rents among regional cities are currently recorded in Lublin, ranging from EUR 10 to 12 per sq m per month. per month<\/p>\n\n
