Karol Pilniewicz, head of CEE at Cromwell Property Group, said: “GDP in Poland grew by 4.6% last year, significantly outperforming the average eurozone rate of 2.5%.
“With a healthy labour market and low unemployment driving domestic demand for office property, we’re seeing some interesting investment opportunities emerging in the major urban centres like Warsaw or Prague.”
