The current average level of service charges in Gdańsk remains on an upward trend.

Expert commentary: Beata Maksimowicz, Senior Leasing Advisor at BNM

Gdańsk accounts for approx. 76% of the total office stock in the Tri-City, making it the key business hub of the region. Most of the strategic office projects in the Tri-City are located along the SKM railway line, which is the most popular form of transport and helps to solve the recurring issue of limited parking availability.

The most attractive district for both companies and developers is Oliwa. This is where the largest office complex in northern Poland, Olivia Business Centre, is located, consisting of 7 modern office buildings, as well as other major developments such as Alchemia and Arkońska Business Park. It is a preferred location for corporations as well as serviced office providers. In Wrzeszcz, a popular destination is the Garnizon project – a mixed-use development created through the revitalisation of former military barracks and the construction of new residential and office-service buildings. In Śródmieście, you can find class A office buildings such as Heweliusza 18 and Eternum, alongside revitalised properties like Waterside and the Directorate Building of the Imperial Shipyard.

The structure of office supply in Gdańsk is highly diverse. Along Grunwaldzka Street in Oliwa, there is a concentration of class A office towers. Further away from the SKM transport axis, there are more older, mainly class B office buildings offering lower rents. Office tenement houses leased for commercial purposes are mainly found in Wrzeszcz, offering atmospheric, nicely refurbished spaces. In Śródmieście, the office market is mixed – a handful of class A properties, some older buildings (such as post-shipyard and revitalised properties), and the two oldest high-rise office buildings in Gdańsk. Many post-shipyard and former industrial areas of Gdańsk are currently undergoing revitalisation and being adapted for new uses.

Among the office projects under construction is PUNKT in Wrzeszcz, which will deliver 12,800 sqm of modern office space. Future plans also include further expansion stages of the Airport City Gdańsk complex, which is ultimately expected to consist of 7 office buildings and a hotel.
