– The warehouse market in Poland is entering the stabilization phase after years of dynamic growth. This prompts developers to be more cautious and focusing on BTS (build-to-Suit) projects, precisely adapted to the needs of tenants-says Adam Szmania, director of Lafrentz Construction in an interview with “Wprost”.

As he notes, Poland remains an attractive market – its location and infrastructure attract investors, and the trend of nearshoring creates new perspectives.

In subsequent years, it will be crucial to combine innovation, flexibility and deep understanding of the needs of tenants, which will allow further, sustainable development of the warehouse sector – forecasts Szmania.
