The rise of holistic approach to premium apartments in Poland - meeting evolving consumer demands

The premium real estate market in Poland, especially in the apartment segment, has long been a hallmark of luxury and innovation in the construction industry. In recent years, a new trend has emerged that is redefining the concept of luxury—a holistic approach to the design and construction of homes. This approach not only enhances the appeal of investments but also meets the growing expectations of clients, for whom comfort, safety, ecology, and innovation are crucial.?

Redefining luxury living?

Luxury apartments are not just living spaces but also a symbol of status, quality, and innovation. In Poland, the premium real estate market grew by 15% in 2023 compared to the previous year, with prices for premium apartments in Warsaw exceeding 40,000 PLN per square meter. Examples include developments like Z?ota 44, Rezydencja ?azienki Park, and Fort Cze.?

Globally, luxury real estate is also increasing in value, with growth reaching 1.5% by the end of June 2023. Despite challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions between 2020-2023, top-tier apartments not only retained their value but often appreciated. The record price per square meter for luxury apartments in 2023 reached 66,100 PLN.?

Luxury apartments stand out from other real estate by meeting specific requirements, which will be discussed below.?

Location?

One of the key elements of luxury apartments is their location. Premium apartments are usually found in the most desirable parts of cities. The value of these locations is not only due to prestige but also the surrounding infrastructure. Examples include investments such as Park Lane, Merliniego Suites, and Oaza Mokotów in Warsaw, and Baltic Jet in Ustronie Morskie.?

Architecture and quality of finishing?

The quality of workmanship and attention to detail are elements that set luxury apartments apart from standard real estate. Buildings are often designed by renowned architectural firms striving to create unique designs that combine modernity with functionality. Another advantage is the use of high-quality materials by developers, which are often also used in top-class hotels. These solutions not only increase the value of the investment but also ensure durability for years.?

Ecology and sustainability?

Affluent clients are investors who are very aware of their needs and sensitive to social changes. Ecological aspects have become a key element of their lifestyle, and this trend continues to grow. As a result, future buyers of premium or luxury apartments carefully analyze the developer's expertise, including the use of environmentally friendly materials and technologies.?

In the context of ecology and sustainability, SYSTEM 3E is worth special attention. The 3E technology is an example of a building material that is environmentally friendly at every stage of its life cycle—from production to recycling. Premium residential buildings built with SYSTEM 3E components are energy-efficient and durable. 3E elements are becoming increasingly popular because they significantly speed up the process of erecting walls—one square meter of a 3E wall is completed in just 4.5 minutes.?

Additionally, no extra materials, such as mortar, adhesive, or insulation, are required for building 3E walls. These walls can be constructed year-round without interruptions due to low temperatures.?

Spaciousness and functionality?

Spaciousness is a feature that often defines luxury apartments. Such apartments typically range from 80-100 square meters up to 280-300 square meters, with ceiling heights above 290 cm. Open spaces, large windows, and panoramic views of the city enhance the sense of space and comfort. Terraces, balconies, and even private winter gardens are common additions that increase the attractiveness of these properties. Interior design focuses on functionality, with intelligent layouts that maximize available space while ensuring comfort and elegance.?

Technologies and innovations?

Modern technologies play a crucial role in luxury real estate. Smart home systems that enable remote management of lighting, heating, and even home security are becoming standard in such investments. Innovative solutions, such as automatic blinds, smart locks, or monitoring systems, provide not only comfort but also security for residents. Increasingly, modern buildings are equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, meeting the growing demand for eco-friendly transportation.?

The characteristics of premium apartment buyers?

The luxury housing market attracts a specific type of customer—high-income individuals who value comfort, prestige, and innovation. Analyzing the needs and expectations of this group helps better understand why the premium apartment segment grows by 1.5% year on year.?

• Awareness and expectations?- luxury clients are conscious of their needs and expectations. Before making a purchase decision, they carefully analyze available offers, comparing prices, location, and quality of finish. These are often individuals who already own other properties, giving them the ability to thoroughly assess the market. They expect the highest quality materials and innovative technological solutions that will enhance their living experience. They choose investments that meet their high standards, both aesthetically and functionally.?

• Maturity and business stability?- premium segment clients are usually business-savvy individuals who have already achieved professional and financial stability. For them, purchasing a luxury apartment is not a rushed decision but a well-thought-out investment intended to serve them for many years. Financial stability allows them to choose the best locations and properties that meet their needs, and the decision is often driven by acquiring another property to be closer to urban life.?

• Investment in the future?- for many clients, a luxury apartment is not just a living space but also a form of investment. Premium real estate, due to its uniqueness and prestige, tends to increase in value over the years. This is especially important when considering passing on wealth to future generations or investing in real estate for long- and short-term rentals. High-quality construction and prime locations in the most desirable parts of the world make luxury apartments a safe and long-term investment.?

• Emotions and calculations - purchasing a luxury apartment is not only a long-term investment. For many clients, a premium apartment is a reward for years of hard work and professional success. It is also a status symbol that emphasizes their position in society. Therefore, the emotions associated with purchasing an apartment not only play a key role in the decision-making process but also affirm the value of a long-term investment in premium real estate.?

Premium ecology?

More and more luxury properties in Europe are being designed with the environment in mind, reflecting the growing expectations of premium clients regarding sustainability. The materials used in luxury construction must meet the highest quality standards. High-quality materials are accompanied by attention to detail, translating into the unique character of the interiors.?

In this context, SYSTEM 3E technology is gaining recognition as an innovative solution that combines the benefits of eco-friendly materials and construction efficiency.?

SYSTEM 3E is a proprietary technology for constructing single-layer walls using an eco-friendly and energy-efficient raw material—perlite. This material is distinguished by excellent properties that make construction faster and simpler than traditional methods.?

SYSTEM 3E elements properties:?

• Thermal Insulation: Perlite walls have high thermal insulation capacity, helping maintain a stable indoor temperature and reducing heating, and cooling costs.?

• Water Resistance: 3E elements are resistant to moisture, meaning the walls do not absorb water, ensuring durability in various weather conditions.?

• Fire Resistance: Perlite is fire-resistant, increasing building safety and providing better protection against fires.?

• Breathability: 3E walls are breathable, allowing natural air circulation, facilitating the removal of pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture. This improves indoor air quality, which is beneficial for residents' health.?

• Durability: The perlite structure is exceptionally durable, contributing to the longevity of buildings and reducing the need for frequent repairs and maintenance.?

Holistic approach to premium housing—summary?

A holistic approach to luxury construction that combines the highest quality workmanship, innovative technologies, ecology, and aesthetics is becoming not just a trend but a response to the changing needs and expectations of clients. As society becomes increasingly eco-conscious and technologically savvy, developers must adapt their projects to these demands.?

Luxury apartments offering sustainable solutions, smart technologies, and community spaces are becoming the standard, not the exception. As a result, we can expect this trend to continue growing, with its impact on the real estate market becoming increasingly significant.?
