AGENDA

Thematic scope

Real estate and domestic capital

Poland’s commercial real estate sector is still waiting for the emergence of strong domestic capital. It could fill the gap left by major players who now prefer to invest in Germany, Italy, or Spain. Is this the right moment for REITs?

Price above all? Public tenders, quality and sustainable construction in practice
The lowest price is still the key criterion in public tenders, shaping the reality of Polish construction and design. How does it affect the quality of investments, long-term costs of maintenance and the possibility of pursuing the ambitious environmental goals? Does the lowest price criterion exclude the use of sustainable materials, energy-efficient technologies and the implementation of pro-social solutions? What lessons can be learned from practice? What change is required? Can ESG requirements cause an actual shift in investment priorities?

Cities of the future
How to develop cities in a volatile environment, at the same time making sure that they are fit for the challenges of modernity and capable of satisfying the new needs of residents? Investment trends, urban planning, space management – for a better quality of life. City of the future – its key features, new functions and systems. How to marry the needs of residents, business, and the environment? Revitalising urban space. The role of developers and business in the transition of cities.

Investing where space is scare
Decreasing availability of land as a challenge and stimulus to creative solutions – revitalisation, alternative planning, innovative projects.  How does the scarcity of land influence the market of properties and the type of investments? Second-hand land: the potential of post-industrial and degraded properties. A treasure trove of land with a high investment potential– where to find it?
