A survey offering detailed insights into the pricing of the smallest flats from developers, including studio apartments in new housing developments and the specific projects where they are currently available.

Tomasz Kaleta, managing director of sales and marketing at Develia:
The prices of studios in our offer depend, among other things, on the location of the development. They start at PLN 340,000 for units of around 26 sq.m. in the Unii Lubelskiej Vita investment in Poznań.

In Warsaw and Krakow, on the other hand, the cost of purchasing this type of apartment is an expense of nearly PLN 500 thousand. This is due to the fact that we have abandoned the design of small flats, the area of which, according to the regulations in force, can be from 25 sq m, in favour of slightly larger, compact units of about 32 sq m with the possibility of separating a bedroom. This allows our customers to choose a spacious studio or compact duplex, which is cheaper than a standard two-room flat.

Agnieszka Majkusiak, sales director at Atal:
In the Ogrody Andersa project in Gliwice, we have one-room flats with an area of 26 sqm on sale at a price of over PLN 284,000. In the Łódź project Atal Aura, a 26-square-metre flat can be bought for over PLN 300 thousand. In Wrocław, in the Atal Starachowicka estate, a flat of 25 sq.m. awaits buyers for around PLN 336 thousand.

The Przyjemne estate in Gdańsk offers 27 sq m studio flats for PLN 362 thousand. In the Atal Olimpijska investment in Katowice, a flat of approximately 26 sqm is on sale for PLN 382 thousand. In Kraków, in the Przewóz 42 project, you can buy a single 26 sq m for over PLN 452 thousand. In Atal’s Heyki City project in Szczecin, we have one-room flats of more than 28 sq m for PLN 454 thousand.

Małgorzata Ostrowska, Director of the Marketing and Sales Division at J.W. Construction:
In Osiedle Kościuszki in Chorzów, we offer a flat with an area of 27 sq m for PLN 354 thousand. In the Apartamenty na Wzgórzach project in Zawada near Myślenice, we have a studio of 25 sqm on sale for PLN 298 thousand. In the Nad Odrą project in Szczecin, a unit of 29 sq.m. can be purchased for over PLN 426 thousand. In the Horizon estate in Gdańsk, a one-room flat of 29 sq m is on offer for PLN 541 thousand.

Michał Witkowski, sales director at Lokum Deweloper:
One-room flats and small two-room flats are eagerly purchased by customers looking for a place to start. Due to the popularity of this type of space, their availability is steadily decreasing, but our Wrocław offer still includes compact units designed to make the most of every square metre.

At the Lokum Porto estate, located in Wrocław’s Old Town, in a location characterised by high investment potential, the smallest units of approximately 32 sq m are offered from PLN 554,000. Compact flats with an area of approximately 33 sqm, priced from PLN 499,000, are offered at the Lokum la Vida housing estate located in ul Herbsta in Wrocław, surrounded by extensive urban infrastructure and recreational areas.

Marek Starzyński, Sales Director, Okam Capital:
One-room flats are desired by young customers as well as individual investors buying premises for rent. In our current projects, among the cheaper one-room flats available, we have, for example, in Strefa Progress in Łódź, a flat of just over 34 sq m at a promotional price of PLN 11,374 per sq m. In the NOW project in Łódź, the price of a 33 sq m flat with a garden is PLN 10,868 per sq m with a discount.

In the Cityflow project in Warsaw, a 32-sq.m unit also with a garden can be purchased for PLN 21,650 per sq.m., and in the Inspire project in Katowice, a one-room flat with an area of 29 sq.m. is available at a price of PLN 14,400 per sq.m.

Agnieszka Gajdzik – Wilgos, Sales Manager, Ronson Development:
In Warsaw’s Ursus Centralny estate, prices of studio flats range between PLN 445,000 and PLN 563,000. These are flats with an area of 25-33 sqm.

On the other hand, in the City of My City development in Warsaw, a 25-square-metre flat can be bought for PLN 420,000. In Poznań, in the Grunwald Między Drzewami investment, the cheapest one-room flat costs PLN 350,000, plus one with its own garden. In Szczecin, prices of one-room flats start at 300,000 PLN.

Agata Zambrzycka, sales and marketing director at Aurec Home:
In 2023, two-room flats were the most popular, but now we are also seeing an increasing number of enquiries for the smallest size. The popularity of studios is due to their compact form. They are suitable for singles, students, couples and the elderly. In addition, they are still cheaper than larger flats. We offer studios in all our investments. Particularly worth mentioning is the newly developed investment Fabrica Ursus, which in a modern way refers to the industrial past of the former Ursus factories, where buyers can choose from flats with areas from 36 sqm.

The prices of studios vary and depend on a number of factors, such as the metric area and floor. We have a range of different budget options for potential owners. Thanks to our own sources of financing, we can offer purchasers selected units of a high standard at prices starting from 13,000 per sqm.

Damian Tomasik, CEO of Alter Investment:
From the position of a land developer, we notice the growing interest of developers in projects involving studio flats. The implementation of such projects often depends on the location of the property and planning requirements. A common example we encounter is the required large number of parking spaces, which forces the design of larger units, which certainly does not facilitate the optimisation of the flat structure. In well-located properties with access to public transport, residents of studio flats rarely use cars, while regulations require the provision of 1.2 or even 1.5 parking spaces per such flat. Customers buying studio flats are usually not interested in parking spaces and developers are forced to build them, which significantly increases the investment costs. It is therefore worth noting the need to adapt local development plans, which were often passed 15-20 years ago when other trends prevailed.

In the heart of Warsaw, a historic gem is set to welcome new tenants. Zeitgeist Asset Management has announced the completion of the revitalisation of Barbary – HOME by Zeitgeist, located at 6/8 Św. Barbary Street. This building, which holds historical significance, now boasts 46 newly refurbished flats available for long-term rent.

The tenement offers residents a unique combination of modern living within a building that reflects the architectural heritage of Warsaw. Overlooking the green square of St. Barbara’s Church and a quiet, intimate patio, these flats have been carefully designed to balance history with contemporary comfort.

“We are thrilled to offer rental flats in such a unique location, one that blends historical value with proximity to the vibrant centre of the capital. It’s the ideal spot for those who value both style and character in their living space, while still enjoying the benefits of being in walking distance to Warsaw’s main attractions,” said Peter Noack, co-founder and CEO of Zeitgeist Asset Management.

The Barbary – HOME by Zeitgeist residence offers an unbeatable address. Situated near Nowogrodzka and Poznańska streets, it provides a quiet escape just 250 metres from iconic landmarks like the Palace of Culture and Science and the bustling Złote Tarasy shopping centre. The area is known for its charming cafes, restaurants, and green squares, while a vibrant social scene flourishes with nearby theatres, museums, and clubs.

Residents will also benefit from the proximity of major business centres and offices, making it easy to handle daily tasks and professional commitments in minutes. The well-connected location provides access to metro stations, buses, and trams just a short walk away, while Warsaw Chopin Airport is reachable within 30 minutes.

The revitalised building offers a selection of 46 units, including 24 studios, as well as two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 34 to 77 square metres. Each apartment is finished to a high standard, featuring fully equipped kitchens, modern bathrooms, built-in wardrobes, and high-quality appliances. Every flat also comes with a balcony offering views of the green surroundings of St. Barbara’s Church.

The building’s modernist architecture has been carefully preserved. Originally constructed in 1960, the townhouse was part of an extension of the Telephone and Telegraph building on Nowogrodzka Street. During the renovation, special care was taken to restore its façade, gate, and metalwork to their original charm, while the interiors now feature a blend of period elements with modern materials like concrete, steel, glass, and natural wood.

“I’m confident that the blend of this building’s unique characteristics and the cultural richness of the neighbourhood will make it one of the most attractive rental options in central Warsaw. We look forward to welcoming the first tenants very soon,” said Tomasz Dąbrowski, managing director of Zeitgeist Asset Management in Poland.

With its central location, Barbary – HOME by Zeitgeist is designed to appeal to a wide array of tenants, from young professionals seeking a vibrant urban lifestyle to families looking for proximity to green spaces, schools, and healthcare facilities.
