Procent Poland takes 23,000 sqm at 7R Park Szczecin South

17 August 2026

7R is returning to the Szczecin warehouse market with the development of 7R Park Szczecin South, a two-building logistics complex planned to provide approximately 29,000 sqm of space. Procent Poland has signed a long-term lease for the entire first building, taking more than 23,000 sqm for e-commerce logistics operations.

The project will be developed in south-western Szczecin, close to the German border and transport routes connecting western Poland with Germany. It will be 7R’s first development on the western side of the city.

The larger of the two planned buildings will provide more than 23,000 sqm and will be occupied entirely by Procent Poland. A second building of approximately 5,000 sqm is also planned, bringing the park’s total area to around 29,000 sqm.

Procent Poland provides logistics services for the e-commerce sector, including international online retail operators. Its new facility will be adapted to the company’s operational requirements and is intended to increase its handling capacity.

“Starting cooperation with 7R on the development of the new facility is an important step in the further growth of Procent Poland,” said Izabela Kujawska, Administrative Director and employer representative at Procent Poland. “The new warehouse space will allow us to increase operational capacity and improve logistics processes.”

Sawitar Estate Broker advised Procent Poland on the lease.

The location provides access to the A6 motorway, which connects with Germany’s A11 towards Berlin, as well as the S3 and S6 expressways. The development will be approximately 7 km from central Szczecin and around 36 km from Szczecin-Goleniów Airport. Access to the ports of Szczecin and Świnoujście also supports the location’s role in domestic and cross-border distribution.

Marzena Taube, Leasing & Development Director for the North-West Region at 7R, said Szczecin’s proximity to Germany, seaports and major transport routes continues to support demand from logistics and e-commerce operators. Securing an occupier for the first building before construction begins reduces the speculative component of the initial phase.

According to data cited by 7R, the West Pomeranian Voivodeship has close to 1.4 million sqm of modern industrial and logistics stock, with vacancy at approximately 1.4%, compared with a national average of 7.3%.

The Procent Poland building will use heat pumps combined with a 50 kWp photovoltaic installation. It will also include energy-efficient lighting controlled through DALI and BMS systems and an ESFR K360 sprinkler installation. The development is targeting BREEAM Excellent certification.

“The proximity of Germany, access to seaports and established logistics infrastructure continue to support the region’s position within Poland’s warehouse market,” said Kamil Szabłowski, Senior Leasing Manager at 7R.

Depenbrock Polska has been appointed general contractor. Construction is scheduled to start in August 2026, with completion of the full 7R Park Szczecin South complex planned for the third quarter of 2027.

The Barometr Ofert Pracy, which tracks changes in the number of employment advertisements published online, increased to 261.5 points in July 2026, compared with 261.1 points in June and 258.5 points a year earlier. The indicator has been rising since April, but the strength of the monthly increases has progressively weakened. The survey is prepared by the Department of Economics and Finance at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów together with the Bureau for Investments and Economic Cycles (BIEC). It is based on online job advertisements collected each month and adjusted to remove seasonal effects, providing an indication of changes in employers’ demand for new workers. BOP 8.2026.pdf The July results reveal increasingly different conditions between sectors. Recruitment in services is recovering, construction and engineering are showing stronger demand and logistics is improving, while vacancies for physical workers continue to decline. Construction recruitment reaches four-year high One of the clearest improvements is visible in construction. Among occupations requiring scientific or engineering qualifications, vacancies increased across almost every category in July, with IT the exception. Construction recorded a particularly strong result, with the number of advertised positions reaching its highest level in four years. BOP 8.2026.pdf Recruitment of engineers is also recovering. Following several years of declining vacancy numbers, demand has been gradually rebuilding and reached its highest level for two years following the latest increase. BOP 8.2026.pdf For the property and infrastructure sectors, the figures point towards stronger competition for technically qualified employees as construction activity requires additional engineering and specialist capacity. The improvement does not extend equally across the entire labour market. Vacancies for physical occupations declined again during July and have been following a clear downward trajectory since around the middle of 2024. BOP 8.2026.pdf This divergence suggests that employers’ recruitment requirements are becoming increasingly specialised rather than simply expanding across all categories of labour. Logistics hiring continues to recover Logistics is another area showing clearer signs of strengthening demand. The number of logistics vacancies has increased since April and reached its highest level since January 2024 in July. Recruitment in freight forwarding is also following an upward trend. BOP 8.2026.pdf The figures are relevant to Poland’s industrial and logistics property sector because employment demand provides another indication of operating activity among companies occupying warehouses, distribution centres and transport facilities. Services more broadly produced the largest increase in vacancies among the main occupational groups during July. Following more than a year of adjustment, recruitment in this part of the economy has been improving since the beginning of 2026, with July producing the highest number of advertisements since September 2024. BOP 8.2026.pdf Tourism recruitment also strengthened, reaching its highest level in more than 18 months, while education recorded a double-digit monthly percentage increase in vacancies, although demand in the sector remained substantially below the level recorded a year earlier. BOP 8.2026.pdf IT recovery remains fragile Technology presents a more complicated picture. Vacancies for both IT administration and programming declined in July, with the reduction somewhat greater among programmers. Nevertheless, the longer-term direction has improved modestly, with IT vacancies gradually increasing over approximately the past 18 months. BOP 8.2026.pdf The recovery remains far from complete. Demand for IT workers is still significantly below the levels recorded before the economic disruption associated with the pandemic, with the gap particularly pronounced for programmers. BOP 8.2026.pdf Meanwhile, within social-science and legal occupations, recruitment has been broadly stable since October 2025. July brought some improvement for call-centre employees, purchasing departments and lawyers, while vacancies declined for graphic designers, office workers and banking positions. BOP 8.2026.pdf Regional differences remain substantial The recovery is also uneven geographically. After seasonal employment was excluded, online vacancies increased in most Polish regions during July. The strongest monthly increases were recorded in Warmińsko-Mazurskie, Podkarpackie and Śląskie, while the largest decreases occurred in Wielkopolskie, Zachodniopomorskie and Dolnośląskie. BOP 8.2026.pdf At the same time, labour-market conditions are not improving across every measure. The seasonally adjusted registered unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percentage point in June to 6.1%, its highest level since May 2021, according to the report. BOP 8.2026.pdf The combination of slightly higher unemployment and gradually increasing vacancies points towards a labour market undergoing structural adjustment rather than a straightforward hiring boom. The report’s labour-market diagram on page three places July 2026 close to the boundary between improving qualifications and a stronger employment outlook, illustrating the relatively tentative nature of the current recovery. BOP 8.2026.pdf For Poland’s property sector, however, the composition of hiring may be more important than the headline movement in the index. Increasing demand for construction specialists, engineers, logistics workers and freight-forwarding employees coincides with sectors directly connected to development, infrastructure and industrial real estate. The July Barometr therefore points to a labour market moving forward slowly but becoming increasingly differentiated: employers are recruiting again in selected areas, while other occupations continue to face weaker demand. Construction and logistics currently stand out among the areas where that improvement is becoming most visible. 14 August 2026 NBI Analysis: Bucharest Strengthens Its Position in CEE
