DISCUSSION PANEL – CONFERENCE WRAP-UP

The global economy in the mid-2020s looks markedly different from that of 5, 10 or 20 years ago. Economic, political and demographic shifts are reshaping the real estate market, causing traditional sectors to lose prominence while new asset classes gain in popularity.
Where does the future of the real estate market lie? What are the forecasts for the next five years?

• Transformations in traditional sectors. Offices, retail and warehouses are evolving in response to remote work, e-commerce and new trends. How is demand for office and retail space changing? Which warehouse formats are poised for growth?
• Emerging real estate sectors. PRS, dormitories, green and modular construction, data centres and senior living have already gained traction in the market – what else is on the horizon?
• Technology in real estate. Smart buildings, AI and big data are reshaping property management. How are these technologies transforming the market?
• Globalisation, deglobalisation and local markets. How are global shifts and geopolitics affecting local real estate markets? Which Polish regions and cities are likely to gain in importance and which risk being left behind?
• Outlook for the next five years. Which sectors will dominate in the future?
  How should cities, developers and investors prepare for the changes ahead?
