Average rent rates in Poznań – Q1 2025 Report
In March 2025, the average rent for an office in Poznań was 64.30 PLN net per square meter. This is a specific number resulting from the analysis of 87 of our current offers and 42 contracts signed through Fairofoffers in the last three months. If you are looking for a premises, you must know that the asking price and the price on the contract are two different things.
Poznań Center holds the price, but there are exceptions
The area around Wolności Square and Święty Marcin Street is still the most expensive point on the map. In the first quarter of 2025, rates in modern Class A office buildings here oscillate around 67.80 – 74.40 PLN per meter. However, we see that older office townhouses at Garbary are beginning to compete strongly on price, going down to even 48.50 PLN. For a company employing 8 people, such a difference means savings of around 2,400 PLN per month, which on an annual scale gives almost 29 thousand left in the pocket.
It is worth noting that building owners in the strict center more often agree to longer rent-free periods now. For every 12 months of lease, we manage to negotiate an average of 1.5 months without paying rent. This is a reaction to the fact that many smaller firms are escaping towards Jeżyce or Wilda. In the Center, you pay for prestige and proximity to offices, but parking is still a headache. (By the way, one parking spot in an underground garage is now an expense from 430 to 620 PLN per month).
Analyzing 19 recent inquiries for offices in the center, we noticed an interesting change. Entrepreneurs no longer ask for marble in the lobby, but whether the windows open and how loud the air conditioning is. At Fairofoffers, we check this during 3D tours so you don't have to waste fuel on driving to offices that have leaking windows right by the tram line. Specific square footages we have in the database are measured with an accuracy of 10 centimeters, so you won't pay for empty walls.
The asking price is only a starting point. In Jeżyce, we negotiate an average 8.3% discount for 2-year contracts.
Grunwald and Jeżyce – the heart of Poznań offices beats here
Jeżyce has become an office hit for a simple reason: people just want to work here. The average rate for an office in this district is currently 58.70 PLN. IT companies and design agencies are most likely to choose lofts or revitalized post-factory buildings. In Q1 2025, we noted that the rental time for an office in Jeżyce is the shortest in all of Poznań. An average of 24 days pass from the publication of an offer on our site to the signing of a contract. That's 12 days faster than in Winogrady.
Grunwald, in turn, attracts companies needing larger space and better access to the A2 motorway. Here, prices are stable and amount to about 53.20 PLN per meter. If you run a trading company and your representatives have to leave the city often, this is the best direction. We checked 14 buildings in this area and most of them offer free parking spaces for guests, which is practically impossible in the center. This is a minor detail that real impacts the comfort of your clients.
We often encounter the question of whether it is worth taking an 'open space' standard office. In Grunwald, owners are very flexible – for 3-year contracts, up to 78% of them agree to put up partition walls at their own expense. At Fairofoffers, we have 23 such offers where interior division is already included in the rent price. Thanks to this, you avoid renovation costs, which at today's material prices amount to about 1,100 PLN per linear meter of wall.
Operating costs – the hidden budget eater
Rent itself is not everything and tenants often forget this. In Q1 2025, the so-called 'service charge', or operating fees, went up by about 14% compared to last year. In Poznań, you must count on an expense from 19.30 PLN up to even 28.60 PLN per meter. This covers security, cleaning common areas, electricity in corridors, and garbage collection. In office buildings in Wilda, these rates are usually 3-4 PLN lower than in modern glass towers by the station.
We happened to analyze the contract of a client who, before coming to Fairofoffers, signed a lease in a Class B office building. The owner added a fee for snow removal from the roof and elevator maintenance as extra costs, which raised the real rate by 6.50 PLN above the market norm. At Fairofoffers, we catch such clauses immediately. In our offers, you see a clear breakdown: net rent + operating costs. No fluff and no asterisks in the document footer.
When choosing an office for 2025, the energy efficiency of the building is key. Buildings with BREEAM certification (we already have 32 of them in Poznań) generate about 22% lower utility costs. Electricity and heating are billed according to meters, so with 150 meters of area, the difference in bills can be even 840 PLN per month. These are specific amounts better spent on team development than on heating a leaking hall.
Operating fees are currently as much as 30% of the total cost of renting an office in Poznań.
Forecasts for the rest of 2025
We expect that by the end of the year, rent rates in Poznań will increase by another 3-4%. This is mainly due to the high costs of financing new investments. If you are planning a move in July or September, it's best to start browsing 3D tours now. Currently, we have 11 premises in the database that will become vacant in the next two months and their owners are willing to sign a contract with a fixed price guarantee if the reservation takes place within 14 days.
A trend that will stay with us for longer is the 'flex office' – flexible offices. More and more owners of larger areas divide them into modules of 35-50 meters with a shared kitchen. This is a great option for small teams (4-6 people) who don't want to commit to a 5-year contract. At Fairofoffers, we promote such solutions because we know business can be volatile. Our data shows that 1 in 3 clients after a year needs more space, so flexibility is more valuable than a price lower by 2 PLN.
In summary, the office market in Poznań in Q1 2025 is stable but requires vigilance. The greatest opportunities now fall in Wilda and around Dąbrowskiego Street. I encourage you to browse our latest 87 direct offers. Each of them has been verified by Piotr or me personally for legal and technical aspects. Don't waste time on empty ads, of which there are many on the internet. Choose specifics and save time for what really earns money for your company.
