The warehouse market in Rzeszów as its main centre, is increasingly establishing itself as a logistics gateway for south-eastern Poland, with the highest concentration of modern warehouse space being built around the city and Rzeszów-Jasionka airport.
The region benefits from its proximity to the borders with Slovakia and Ukraine, as well as good access to the A4 motorway and the S19 expressway—factors conducive to investment in logistics and production.
In the first half of 2025, new warehouse supply in Podkarpackie amounted to 33,000 sq m, placing the region mid-table among voivodeships in terms of developer activity. As at the end of June 2025, 39,000 sq m was under construction, including the Panattoni Park Rzeszów West project (73,300 sq m, with completion scheduled for the second half of the year).
Gross demand for the first half of 2025 was about 5,000 sq m (similar to Q1 2025), which remains very limited and is mainly driven by local distribution networks, production, and operators serving eastern external markets. Tenant activity is selective and based on current needs in the FMCG and manufacturing sectors and expanding e-commerce.
The vacancy rate in Podkarpackie remains close to zero, confirming high absorption of available space and that investments are exclusively build-to-contract or pre-let. This environment favours tenants seeking modern, high-specification BTS (build-to-suit) warehouses.
The main tenants remain production companies, national and local retail chains, and logistics operators serving southern and eastern markets (Ukraine, Slovakia). Demand is driven by the need for space for distribution, storage of FMCG goods, and handling so-called industrial and e-commerce logistics. Most new projects are constructed on a pre-let basis, while BTS investments are tailored to the requirements of specific tenants.
