PREMIUM FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS

Real estate is the most stable and reliable form of investment. However, it is worth noting that premium apartments, where location and quality of craftsmanship are paramount, are becoming increasingly popular. Of all of this class of apartments sold in 2021, as many as 30% of transactions were based in the Tri-City!

Many transactions were mediated by Invest Komfort – a developer with 27 years of experience, whose portfolio includes apartments located in prestigious Tri-City districts. With a wide choice of unconventionally designed real estate, created with the utmost care and designer trends in mind, each client can choose a top-class apartment, ideally suited to his or her own expectations and investment plans. Regardless of size and address – the property’s value will continuously increase.

Gdynia: a house overlooking the sea Portova Apartments were built in Gdynia’s industrial district, at the junction of the city and port, and are a tribute to the city’s modernist traditions. The form and finish of the investment also echo this fascinating period, which shaped the city’s architectural and urban image. For residents at the top of the building, the architects have provided a private outdoor terrace with stunning views of the Gdynia panorama. Portova Apartments’ perfect location and convenient access to nearby infrastructure make it an excellent and fastworking investment, especially considering the growing popularity of Gdynia and its cultural offerings.

Sopot: in the vicinity of the Tri-City Landscape Park “Smolna Sopot Apartments” is a dream investment for those who value nature as well as modern architectural design. The intimate estate combines Scandinavian minimalism with the Far Eastern philosophy of the coexistence of home and natural life. A great location for a so-called “second home” or as a rental investment – the estate is only a few minutes away from Niepodległości Avenue and the Oliwa business center. Lovers of active leisure have the trekking and cycling infrastructure of the Tri-City Landscape Park at their fingertips and Sopot’s bustling center can be reached in just a few minutes.

Gdańsk: time creates value Gdańsk Oliwa is a district with a truly rich history. The Opacka estate, established on the site of the former gardens of a Cistercian Abbey, is no exception. This is a unique investment – much like a work of art, whose value will increase over time. It is perfect for those looking for a second home in a charming and quiet location, yet with good infrastructure and convenient communication. Opacka is worthy of consideration by all homeowners who want to find themselves in the city without losing their sense of privacy.

Warehouse market with record results after H1 2022

In the first half of 2022, developers' and tenants' activity in Poland's warehouse market remained high. By the end of June, investments totaling some 2.42 million sqm had been completed, while gross demand totaled nearly 3.9 million sqm. These are the two highest results in their respective categories in the history of the Polish market.

Amid the war in Ukraine, a new trend has also emerged – the so-called "friendshoring", a term for shifting manufacturing to countries with shared values. Although the war in Ukraine has caused changes in the industrial and logistics space market, Colliers experts expect further dynamic development.

Retail Parks in focus for investors

Heavily weakened by the pandemic, the retail sector has gained a new niche among commercial real estate investors. There is now increased activity in investments centered mainly around retail parks in smaller regional cities. Recently, MNK Partners decided to buy retail parks in Piaseczno and Dobre Miasto near Warsaw.

"Retail parks have remained in our area of interest for several years. We see that their popularity continues to grow. These formats offer the opportunity to make quick purchases, and thanks to their wide offer of basic products at affordable prices, they are liked by consumers," said Małgorzata CieślakBelgy, a chief investment officer of MNK Partners.

The impact of the pandemic over the course of two years has increased the popularity of quick, everyday shopping among consumers. As a result, investor interest in retail parks and convenience facilities has increased as well.
