Poznań-based real estate company Scallier has strengthened its organizational structure in Poland with the appointment of Rafał Langer as Head of Property Management, effective since mid-April 2025. The move is part of the company’s broader effort to support its ongoing operations in the country. Rafał Langer brings more than two decades of experience in managing commercial real estate across multiple sectors, including office, logistics, retail, services, and residential. His professional background includes work with international corporations, investment funds, government institutions, developers, and private clients. He is a graduate of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, specializing in property management. In his role at Scallier, Langer is responsible for overseeing project development and process optimization within the property management department. He will also lead coordination efforts within the management team, strengthen investor relations, and support the strategic growth of Scallier’s property management services in Poland. According to Bartosz Nowak, Managing Partner at Scallier, Poland’s retail real estate market has experienced steady growth in recent years. In 2024, Poland ranked second in Europe for newly delivered retail space, behind only France. He noted that more than 500,000 sqm of new retail space is expected to be added in 2025, with retail parks and smaller local centres continuing to dominate new developments. The total area of such facilities has doubled since 2020. Nowak emphasized the operational challenges associated with managing geographically dispersed assets and rising maintenance costs, which impact overall asset performance. He pointed to Scallier’s experience in developing a proprietary retail property management model over the past 14 years as a key factor in maintaining service quality and cost efficiency. Langer added that the current expansion of the department will enable Scallier to deliver integrated property management services at scale. Discussions with potential clients concerning the management of additional assets—particularly dispersed portfolios—alongside active leasing efforts, are expected to support the company’s further market growth. Founded in 2011, Scallier operates in both Poland and Romania, with a focus on retail real estate. In Poland, the company manages 51 properties, totalling approximately 75,000 sqm. Its activities include property management, project leasing, and the development, expansion, and modernization of retail parks, regional shopping centres, and convenience retail facilities.
