The Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, centred around Kielce, is among the smaller and developing regional warehouse markets in Poland. Thanks to its location along important transport routes (including the S7 Warsaw-Kraków route), the region is increasingly chosen by companies planning national distribution and servicing local markets. Tenants can choose from offers of modern warehouses and halls that meet national logistics and production standards.
In the first half of 2025, the gross demand volume in the Świętokrzyskie region was among the lowest in the country, which results from a small base of modern space and cautious developer activity. New supply in the first half of the year was practically zero, and net demand mostly consisted of lease renewals and a few new tenant transactions. Developers are delivering individual BTS and SBU projects, while the construction of new facilities depends on signing pre-let agreements.
As of the end of June 2025, Świętokrzyskie voivodeship had one of the highest vacancy rates in the country – 17.2%, reflecting the region’s slower absorption pace in an environment of low demand and greater logistical and business challenges. Quoted asking and base rents are at competitive levels, ranging from €4.20 to €4.60/sq m/month for new investments, while older properties may be available for about €4.00/sq m/month. Effective rents depend on the contract size, location, and rental period. Warehouse owners are flexible and offer incentives, such as rent-free periods, for long-term contracts.
The main tenants in the region are local distribution companies, production operators, and logistics servicing local food, small industry, and FMCG markets.
Demand is selective and largely dependent on regional infrastructure and the availability of qualified operational staff. Developers undertake projects based on pre-let agreements, and new investments depend on tenants’ decisions and market conditions.
