Periskop Poland has appointed Jacek Wachowicz and Christian Fojtl as Managing Directors, effective 1 March 2026, as part of a revised leadership structure focused on land banking activities.
Both join the management board of the Warsaw-based subsidiary of Periskop Partners AG. They replace Monika Murawska, who has left the company to take on a new role in the real estate sector.
Jacek Wachowicz brings more than 25 years of experience in investment management, development and advisory, with previous roles at companies including Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners, Immobel Poland, GTC and Heitman. Christian Fojtl has over 30 years of experience in European real estate and has held positions at Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners and Warimpex. Based in Vienna, he will work across both the Berlin headquarters and the Warsaw office.
The management team will continue to be supported by Paweł Jastrzębski, who remains involved in local transactions.
According to the company, the appointments reflect a continued focus on Poland as a target market for land banking strategies. While investor sentiment has been affected by geopolitical uncertainty, including the war in Ukraine, the company points to underlying demand drivers such as economic growth, rising space requirements and limited availability of development-ready land.
Poland is expected to record GDP growth above 3 percent in 2026, with demand for land particularly concentrated in major cities such as Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław. At the same time, regulatory changes are being introduced, including a nationwide requirement for municipalities to adopt binding digital land-use plans and the launch of a central planning register.
Periskop Partners acts as an investment advisor to a Poland-focused land banking fund and indicated that its Warsaw office will play a key role in further expanding its activities in the country.
