2011 was a favourable year for the commercial investment market. Strong economic performance,
access to finance and a flurry of attractive projects prompted a number of deals. The
transaction volume reached EUR 2.56bn, a rise of over 30% on 2010’s level, and the highest
level since 2007. The retail sector, which turned over EUR 1.17bn, was the topperforming
sector. Offices recorded just under this total, around EUR 1.15bn, with the Warsaw market
accounting for most of this volume. In 2012 the investment market will depend strongly on the
situation prevailing in global, mainly European, financial markets. Assuming EU countries
implement effective austerity measures to reduce debt, and avert a breakup of the eurozone,
investment activity is likely to reach a similar level to that of 2011.
