Poland Retail Market Figures Q1 2026

First quarter new completions were relatively low, with only 79,000 sq m delivered across six new schemes (all retail parks) and eight extensions.

Retail parks remain the dominant development format, accounting for 92% of the construction pipeline. Notably, development is limited to small convenience formats; larger projects are also underway, with 13 schemes exceeding 15,000 sq m. The 2026–2027 pipeline remains substantial, reaching nearly 740,000 sqm.

Despite the strong focus on retail parks in terms of new developments, shopping centres continue to perform well. Their owners perform active asset management, particularly in terms of repositioning, meeting ESG targets, and tailoring the retail offer to evolving consumer needs. Shopping centre owners are actively enhancing their tenant mix, with a particular focus on food & beverage and fashion offer.
