Tri-City is the fourth largest office market in Poland. Since 2008, the office stock has nearly tripled (from approx. 230,000 sq m by the end of 2008 to approx. 630,000 sq m by the end of September 2016). This means that Tri-City is Poland's fourth largest office market behind Warsaw, Kraków and Wrocław. 115,000 sq m of office space is under development in the area[1]. This indicates the high level of trust in the market’s future among developers. By the end of 2018, overall supply of office space is likely to total 800,000 sq m. Similarly to other major office markets outside Warsaw, companies from the business services sector continue to be the key office tenant in Tri-City. Furthermore, the Tri-City's metropolitan area is Poland's fourth largest SSC/BPO location in terms of employment.
