Commercial Real Estate News Volume 4 No 4 (37) April 2010 Poland is well positioned to thrive after growth in 2009 say market professionals at EuropaPropertys Poland Breakfast Forum Poland took centre stage for the first time at this years international real estate fair MIPIM. As a result, the country witnessed many events arranged for participants who wanted to learn more about Central Europeans core countrys future opportunities. One of the biggest and most successful events was EuropaPropertys Poland Breakfast Forum, the countrys premier event during MIPIM, which took place to a packed house of 200 real estate professionals at the 5-star Martinez Hotel in Cannes. Th ree high impact discussion panels focused on Polands future oppor- tunities and its success in cushioning the effects of the global financial crisis on the real economy through measures aimed at stimulating economic activity. Polands economy benefitted from these developments, and real GDP growth is forecast to continue in 2010 and 2011. Poland is the core market in the central European region now, said Clifford Chances Pawel Debowski on the CRE & capital market overview panel. We have seen a steady growth of transactions throughout the country this year in all sectors. Panellists agreed that Polands improved economic conditions are having a positive impact on the countrys commercial real estate market. Investors are so far mainly concentrating on prime properties, and as a result there are signs of more compression on prime yields. How quickly interest will grow in sub-prime properties, depends not least on banks willingness to provide financing. There are an increasing number of investors looking at Poland, which is increasing interest and fuelling the market, said Jones Lang LaSalles, Head of Capital Markets for CEE and Poland, Tomasz Trzoslo. He explained that the market would witness a little bit of yield compression and put prime product yields at 7 percent. MGPAs Daniel Harris agreed with Trzoslo that yields could compress slightly this year. After MGPAs turn of the year benchmark deal with acquir- ing the Mayland portfolio, Daniel explained that at present Poland is the only country for them in the CEE region. Its economy is performing the best; it has got the largest population and the most opportunities, he said. The panel agreed that an interesting aspect of last year was that every sec- tor was represented in the investment market. There will be more transac- tions but the mismatch between the expectations of sellers and buyers will continue for some time, added Tomasz Trzoslo. Amongst all this optimism, Chris Grzesik from Polish Properties offered a few words of caution on yields and pricing. In my opinion the consensus on yield levels varies. Id be very cautious in making yield predictions. Pawel Debowski commented on the current situation in the offi ce market explaining its need for more tenant demand. One of the critical points why the banks are cautious is because of the lack of tenant demand. In my opinion this is not bad for the market, it will control the supply of new product over the next few years. However, speaking on future demand, Daniel Harris pointed out, Poland will grow and maintain growth. Staying on same theme Pawel Debowski agreed that Polish businesses will be looking for expansion and better premises. Companies are looking for higher quality, theres demand. 2009 was defined by peoples differentia- tion between quality and non-quality. In 2010 we will see this continuing, he explained. We see an improvement in the market from 2009 but the decision making is taking longer. I think this will change from the end of 2010 and continue into 2011, added Magdalena Szulc, Business Unit Director Central Europe at SEGRO.
