International flexible office operator SwitchUp has entered the Polish market, signing a lease for approximately 2,100 sqm at AFI Office House in Warsaw. The agreement marks the company’s first location in Poland and forms part of its expansion across Central and Eastern Europe.
The new workspace is currently undergoing fit-out works and will ultimately occupy two floors of the office building, which is part of the Towarowa22 mixed-use development near Rondo Daszyńskiego. The opening is scheduled for July or August 2026.
Before selecting its first Polish location, SwitchUp evaluated Warsaw’s office market and reviewed a range of available options. According to the company, AFI Office House was chosen due to its location within one of the city’s main business districts, the quality of the building and limited availability of new office space in the surrounding area.
Thomas Jodar, General Manager Poland & CEE at SwitchUp, said that Warsaw represents an important step in the company’s international growth strategy. He noted that the operator plans to offer fully furnished office space designed to combine flexibility with a high standard of fit-out and the possibility of adapting the workspace to occupier requirements.
SwitchUp’s operating model combines features of flexible office solutions with elements more commonly associated with traditional office leasing. The company offers longer-term occupancy options, including lease agreements starting from three years, while providing dedicated office space tailored to individual tenants.
According to AFI Poland, the agreement completes the leasing of AFI Office House and adds a flexible workspace component to the building’s occupier mix.
Grzegorz Jamroziak, Asset Management Director at AFI Poland, said that the addition of a flexible office operator broadens the building’s offering and responds to changing workplace requirements among occupiers. He added that the agreement reflects demand from international operators seeking modern office space in well-connected locations in Warsaw.
SwitchUp was advised during the transaction by the Warsaw office of Savills, which represented the tenant and provided project management services. The advisory process included market analysis, location selection, lease negotiations and coordination of technical and project-related aspects associated with the fit-out and launch of the new workspace.
The Savills team involved in the transaction included Michał Karolkiewicz, Senior Consultant, together with Piotr Stańko, Associate Director, and Paula Urbanek-Barreto, Senior Project Manager.
Once operational, the new facility will provide flexible office space for companies seeking ready-to-occupy workspace in the Rondo Daszyńskiego office district.
