Silesia leads the market in sales of production halls and warehouses

For several decades Upper Silesia has consistently been regarded as Poland's foremost industrial centre. Constant changes in the market mean that new companies spring up in place of those that close down, buying up old warehouses, production halls and factories. So what are the prices of properties of this type?

The market for production halls and warehouses

Analysing the listings on the otodom.pl portal, we can see that listings for the sale of production halls and warehouses in the Silesian Voivodeship make up almost one fifth of all such listings in Poland. The Masovian and Lower Silesian voivodeships come next, but the difference between them is quite clear.

In terms of area, too, no voivodeship can match Silesia. The average area of warehouse halls in the Silesian Voivodeship is 2073 m². In the Masovian Voivodeship it is 889 m², and in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship just 293 m². The properties for sale range from small warehouses of 100 m² worth PLN 79 thousand to huge warehouse and production complexes with a usable area of 10,000 to 30,000 m², worth from a dozen or so million up to as much as PLN 60 million.

Sample halls from the REMAX listings:

Production hall in Wilamowice – PLN 599,000.

If we want a relatively small, and therefore cheaper, production hall, one can be bought in Wilamowice near Bielsko-Biała for PLN 599 thousand – it covers 420 m². The height of the building is 5 m. The hall is currently used for mechanical production (tool grinding and machining), but its use can be changed to a plant, warehouse, wholesale outlet or building materials depot. The plot itself has an area of 1805 m², but it is possible to buy the adjoining 4283 m² – the purchase cost then rises by PLN 150 thousand.

Office and warehouse complex in Jaworzno – PLN 2,090,000

If area is the priority, on the other hand, it is worth looking at the investment plot in Jaworzno – the complex of buildings consists of: 5 garages, a carpentry workshop, a boiler house and a storage shed 7-8 m high. Their total area is 2220 m². The property is located near the A4 motorway, the town bypass and national road 79.

Production and warehouse hall in Malinowice on the Katowice-Warsaw route – PLN 990,000

If we want a location with easy access, it is worth looking at the production and warehouse hall in Malinowice, which is situated only 2.8 km from one of the most important routes in the region connecting Katowice with Warsaw, about 20 km from Katowice. The property consists of a production building with office space, a warehouse building, a steel shed and two boiler houses. The storage height in the warehouse is 3.5 m, and the entrance clearance is 3.0 m. The property, with an area of 12,045 m2, is perfectly suited to any kind of commercial activity as well as manufacturing.

Warehouse – office – commercial – production building in Piekary Śląskie – PLN 2,500,000

Another interesting listing is a multifunctional building on a fenced, well-protected site (security, alarm, video cameras), consisting of an office section with a gatehouse of 150 m2 on the ground floor, a showroom of 250 m2, a production hall of 500 m2, offices of 240 m2 on the first floor and a tent-type production hall of 130 m2.
