The indicators of demand and supply of warehouse space in the region are clearly slowing down, as well as consumption and purchasing power of citizens, while vacancy rates are rising, and money is not getting cheaper.
It can be therefore assumed that the once red-hot warehouse-industrial market in the CEE region is clearly cooling down.
Should we be preparing for another ice age?
In Poland, the mantra about the country’s huge and unique advantage of its geographical location has been repeated for years, but are we really able to leverage this advantage?
We were supposed to become a key logistics hub connecting the world with war-torn Ukraine, now we are supposed to be the cure for all the evils plaguing the German economy.
There is one condition – nearshoring and friendshoring must finally board the train connecting the Matrix with the real world.
Will the conductor allow them to board?
These and other questions will be answered by the participants of the annual autumn meeting of the warehouse-logistics industry – the best expert-practitioners participating in the conference.
Participants of the jubilee 20th edition of this event can as always count on substantive discussions at the highest level, the latest market information, the most insightful analysis and forecasts, as well as a unique opportunity to meet all the key players in this sector.
You are cordially invited!
Due to the dynamic situation in the global economy, the event program may undergo significant changes.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT MARKET
New halls or parks are not being built as frequently anymore, although there is no visible stagnation, and projects are being completed according to schedules. What formats and locations guarantee success? From which sectors do the key tenants currently come, and which industries may soon join them? Does it make sense in the current situation to build large speculative properties, or will the market be dominated by BTS (Build-to-Suit) and small urban parks? Have developers already dealt with low availability and quality of land, as well as executive and administrative issues? |

THE INVESTMENT MARKET
Money is still expensive, and sellers' margins are high, so the investment market is also going through a difficult period. When will interest rates drop, and money becomes cheaper? Or perhaps this is the new reality, and the time of easy profits is gone for good? Where does the capital flow from, and when will new players appear on the market? |

RENTAL MARKET
In difficult times, tenants are much more cautious, so relocations are rare, and contract extensions are becoming commonplace again. This does not protect tenants from rent increases and utility costs - have they reached their peak? Nearshoring and friendshoring, which were supposed to be the drivers of the market, still remain in the realm of wishful thinking. Will the sluggish economy of Germany or the ongoing war in Ukraine change the situation? |

OLD AND NEW
New warehouse projects meet the highest environmental standards, but what about older buildings? In the office sector, increasingly newer buildings are being demolished, which, however, do not meet the high standards and expectations of tenants - will older warehouses face a similar fate? Implementing ESG principles becomes a norm and a necessity, but it costs more and more - can owners of older assets afford modernization? Or are we facing a qualitative polarization of the market? |
