Approximately 210,000 sqm of modern office space was leased in the first half of 2017 by companies from the business services sector. This accounts for 60 percent of the overall demand for office space outside Warsaw, according to JLL. The biggest lease agreements were signed by companies such as ATOS totaling 21,700 sqm at Business Park Kraszewskiego in Bydgoszcz, Brown Brothers Harriman, which leased 14,700 sqm at Orange Office Park in Kraków, and Capgemini which took 13,100 sqm at Business Garden in Wrocław
“Kraków accounted for the highest office take-up – nearly 66,000 sqm. Furthermore, Łódź witnessed a record-breaking share of the business services sector for office demand as nearly 80 percent of H1 take-up in the city was generated by companies from the BPO/SSC sector,” said Mateusz Polkowski, head of research and consulting at JLL.
