Lower Silesia industrial region has been dynamically developing for several years, offering modern warehouse and logistics space. The Wrocław region is an excellent location for distribution centres and production plants serving Western Europe. The great interest in industrial space and the proximity of the German and Czech markets means that most developers such as Panattoni, 7R, Logicor, White Star, Hillwood, CTP, MLP, Segro, Hines, Prologis, and P3 are active in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
From January to the end of September 2024, the new supply delivered to the Wrocław industrial market amounted to nearly 423,000 sq m, while total stock increased to 4.6 million sq m.
The Wrocław region is selected, among others, due to excellent road infrastructure (A4, A8 Motorways, as well as S3, S5 and S8 Expressways) and high availability of employees. Total take-up from January to the end of September 2024 stood at 657,000 sq m. In the Wrocław region, sectors such as FMCG, couriers, light manufacturing, e-commerce, and manufacturing are developing.
At the end of the third quarter of 2024, in the Wrocław region, the vacancy rate increased to 9.4%, driven by a high volume of newly delivered space.
In addition to Wrocław, developers are expanding their offer of warehouse space in Bielany Wrocławskie, Nowa Wieś Wrocławska, Tyniec, Pietrzykowice, Legnica, Bolesławiec, and many other smaller towns. High interest in leasing from companies across multiple industries led to 571,000 sq m of space under construction in the regions as of the end of September 2024, marking the highest result in the country.
Wrocław is also a region where last-mile logistics is being developed to service the city quickly. Many developers, including Panattoni, 7R, DL Invest, and Ideal Idea, have decided to build smaller warehouse parks in the SBU (Small Business Unit) format in this location. These investments are very popular among many smaller tenants who do not want to rent space in large-format big-box distribution centres.
