An additional 10,000 sqm in three projects was delivered to Katowice’s office market in 2019. With 528,400 sqm of office stock. The city is Poland’s sixth largest office market. Last year’s completions included Opal’s two office buildings, totaling 8,400 sqm, and the fully refurbished Porcelanowa 60. Although development activity was muted in Katowice throughout 2019, there is now more than 210,000 sqm of office space under construction across 13 projects. The largest schemes in the pipeline include Echo Investment’s Face2Face (46,800 sqm), TDJ Estate’s second phase of .KTW (39,900 sqm) and Cavatina’s Global Office Park (more than 59,000 sqm). “Developers are being driven to invest in Katowice by various factors, the population of the metropolitan area being key to all. Apart from Warsaw and Katowice, there is no other area in Poland with such superb transport links and more than 2.3 million people” said Tomasz Dyba of Cushman & Wakefield.
