“This is another transaction that indicates that the areas to the east of Kraków are a good direction for developing the local warehouse market. Developers have met customers’ expectations and are locating their investments in the regions that significantly shorten commuting times, including avoiding traffic jams at the entrance or in Kraków itself and still have much-qualified staff.
