Heimstaden reports growth in Polish rental and sales markets

Heimstaden has reported successful third-quarter results in Poland, demonstrating a dual strategy of expanding rental portfolios while selling residential assets. During the third quarter, the company signed 600 new lease agreements and sold over 200 apartments. The firm noted that sales are conducted strategically, only when transactions yield values higher than book value, with three-room and larger units seeing the highest buyer interest.

Despite these results, management noted that the market is becoming more challenging. Increasing supply in both the rental and sales sectors is intensifying competition and making it more difficult to acquire customers and raise rents. Paweł Romańczuk, Head of Asset Management and Operations at Heimstaden Poland, stated that the company is focused on improving rental portfolio profitability and maintaining high occupancy rates.

Separately, Wojciech Juroszek, Investment Director at VeloBank, addressed wealth management strategies at the Family Business Forum 2026. He cautioned against the current trend of excessive caution, where investors over-concentrate on bond markets due to fear of market bubbles. Juroszek recommended diversifying portfolios to protect against both rising and falling interest rates, suggesting a mix of fixed-rate and variable-rate bonds.
