Adventum is stepping up leasing activity at Katowice Business Point as the city’s office market combines improving occupier demand with one of the highest vacancy rates among Poland’s regional business centres. Colliers has been appointed to handle leasing at the property, which offers close to 16,900 sqm of office space beside Silesia City Center. The building is being positioned for both private companies and public-sector organisations, an occupier group that has become increasingly visible in Poland’s commercial office market.
The leasing campaign comes during a period of gradual improvement in Katowice. Office transactions reached approximately 35,400 sqm during the first half of 2026, representing an increase of 51% compared with the same period last year. The second quarter produced the city’s strongest quarterly leasing result for three years. Available space nevertheless remains substantial, with around 22.2% of Katowice’s modern office stock vacant at the end of June. This continues to give tenants considerable choice and places pressure on landlords to compete through building quality, location, fit-out options and commercial terms.
Katowice Business Point is an established office property on Chorzowska Street, close to public transport and major road connections. The building also provides approximately 230 parking spaces and has access to the retail, restaurant and service facilities surrounding Silesia City Center. Its internal layout includes a substantial amount of subdivided office accommodation, potentially making the property suitable for organisations requiring separate departments, meeting areas, customer-facing facilities or restricted-access rooms rather than predominantly open-plan workplaces.
That characteristic is particularly relevant to public institutions. Government bodies and state-related organisations have become more active in Poland’s commercial leasing market as some seek to consolidate operations or move from older administrative properties into modern office buildings. Recent transactions demonstrate the scale such occupiers can achieve, with public organisations taking significant office areas in Warsaw, Łódź, Kraków and Katowice for administrative departments and other government functions.
This provides landlords with another potential source of demand at a time when corporate occupiers have become more selective about the amount and type of space they require. Hybrid working has reduced requirements for some businesses, while others are relocating to buildings offering better transport connections, energy performance and working environments.
Katowice Business Point also holds BREEAM certification and has two independent electricity supplies. Such characteristics can be relevant for occupiers with formal requirements covering energy performance, operational resilience or continuity of services.
The wider Katowice market is increasingly divided between buildings capable of meeting current occupier expectations and properties requiring investment or repositioning. High headline vacancy therefore does not necessarily mean that all available offices compete equally for demand. With relatively little new development changing the supply picture, competition is increasingly taking place within the city’s existing stock.
For owners, attracting tenants depends on how successfully established buildings can be adapted to current requirements rather than simply offering available floor area. The renewed leasing of Katowice Business Point reflects that challenge. Adventum will be competing in a market where occupiers have considerable negotiating choice, but where improving leasing activity and larger public-sector requirements could provide additional routes for absorbing existing office space.
