KINGSTONE Real Estate Expands Presence in Poland with Key Appointments

KINGSTONE Real Estate has announced the expansion of its operations in Poland, reinforcing its local team with two senior appointments. Pawel Sobolewski has been named Managing Director of KINGSTONE RE Poland, while Magdalena Ruta will take on the role of Head of Asset Management Poland.

Sobolewski, who has been with KINGSTONE since 2023 as Head of Fund Management in Germany, will continue in that position while also driving the firm’s business development in Poland. He brings expertise in fund management, acquisitions, investment structuring, and financing. Ruta, an experienced real estate professional with an extensive background in international investment firms, will oversee asset management in Poland, supported by her strong knowledge of the domestic market and wide professional network.

Poland is regarded as one of Europe’s fastest-growing economies and has become an increasingly attractive destination for international investors. Strong fundamentals in the logistics and office markets, combined with the growing demand for rental housing, are creating opportunities for institutional capital. While homeownership has traditionally dominated the housing sector, demand for rental apartments is on the rise, leaving significant room for growth in professionally managed residential assets.

Commenting on the expansion, Sobolewski said: “Poland is one of the most exciting markets in Europe, supported by strong economic growth, a young population, and a dynamic property sector. Many international investors still view the market as complex and non-transparent, which is where our local expertise and direct market access add value. At the same time, we ensure international standards in reporting, structuring, and asset management through our European platform.”

Philipp Schomberg, Executive Partner and co-founder of KINGSTONE Real Estate, added: “We already work with a number of cross-border investors in Poland and see increasing interest, particularly from foreign players. By expanding our team, we are well-positioned to meet this growing demand with a combination of local presence and institutional professionalism.”
