Office dizziness in services
(Discussion)
Łódź has many reasons to be proud of itself, including having one of the lowest vacancy rates in Poland. The demand is mainly being generated by the opening of corporate service centres in the city. According to the data of real estate consultancies, over 60 pct of the total demand for office space in Łódź is generated by companies from the BPO/SSC sector. How could the balance of power in the city’s office market change in the near future, in terms of the prospects for further development? And are there any clouds on the horizon?

Sources and methods of financing commercial projects (mainly hotels and offices)
(Discussion)
The banks seem to be awash with cash and so the list of office projects can hardly be described as negligible. But there is still much work to be done when it comes to the financing of new office buildings. The bankers are also willing to look at other types of assets, such as hotels, which are also enticing some of the largest developers. Which type of financing is the most popular and which is the best to go for: loan, pre-sales, investment funds or mezzanine finance? How have the record occupancy levels of the last three years stoked the enthusiasm of Polish and foreign investors for the Polish market?
