Strong Cities - Tricity Analysis Report Summary

City Attractiveness:
Tricity demonstrates strong economic growth and high rankings in attractiveness. Key points include: population growth, with ~1.6m in 2021 forecasted to ~1.58m by 2030; low unemployment at 2.5% and GDP growth of 9.7%; investment incentives from government programs like "Invest in Pomerania," offering grants and support for businesses; quality of life rankings, such as Gdańsk being first in People-Friendly Emerging Europe Cities 2020, and high satisfaction rates; and recognition as a fast-growing city and European Entrepreneurial Region.

Office Market:
The Tricity office market has a total stock of 1.07 million sq m, with Gdańsk dominating 75%. As of Q1 2025, the vacancy rate is 12.6% (lowest across major Polish cities), due to low new supply (no completions in Q1 2025, with only 30,000 sq m under construction). Take-up reached 26,000 sq m, up 5% from previous quarter, driven by tenant demand and renegotiations (49% of total volume). Rents range from EUR 11-16/sq m/month, with slight increases in service charges. Compared to other Polish markets, Tricity has lower vacancy and moderate supply.

HR Trends:
In the Polish real estate and construction sectors, succession challenges are prominent. About 45,000 business owners are over 50, with opportunities for external candidates (85% of expected successors lack internal interest). Succession planning is complex, involving leadership transitions, market uncertainty, and high executive salaries (e.g., PLN 60,000-80,000/month with bonuses up to 6 times base). Industry experts advise collaboration with advisory firms to navigate this shift.
