4. LUBLIN S INVESTMENT POTENTIAL Infrastructure development A Biała Podlaska motorways, expressways and ring roads in use S19 motorways, expressways and ring roads under construction Lublin is the largest and the most rapidly developing city in eastern Poland. Thanks to its strategic location, dynamically evolving infrastructure and ready access to a young and welleducated workforce, it is currently one of the most attractive destinations for those looking to invest in Poland. The city provides attractive sites for future investments and numerous incentives for entrepreneurs, as well as competitive business costs. In recent years, Lublin s growing investment potential has been acknowledged by several local and global investors, who have decided to carry out several projects such as investments in new office and warehouse space. Lublin is of special interest to investors due to its close proximity to foreign markets, such as Ukraine and Belarus, and also thanks to lower labour costs and ready access to its highly-qualified workforce. motorways, expressways and ring roads bidding process S17 motorways, expressways and ring roads planned A S19 S1 S17 motorway and expressway numbers functioning railways SSE S17 Special Economic Zone [Specjalna Strefa Ekonomiczna] Lublin Airport S1 SSE Lublin S17 S19 S19 Chełm 74 Zamość 74 S17 Lublin was also voted one of the best cities for business in Poland in the Financial Times FDI 015 Polish cities of the future ranking, where it came second in the Cost Effectiveness category for large cities. The new Lublin Airport was completed and opened for use in 01. It offers convenient connections with 14 cities in 10 countries in Europe and beyond. In 014, about 190,000 passengers travelled to or from this airport on over 3,000 flights. The airport is located about 10 km from the city centre, close to the S17 expressway and Świdnik Regional Industrial Park. The opening of this airport significantly boosted the economic development of the Lublin region. The Lublin Subzone forms part of the EURO-PARK MIELEC Special Economic Zone. The Subzone was created in 009 and covers 118 hectares [with plans for expansion up to 00 hectares]. So far, around 30 industrial, logistics, and hightech entities have invested in the Subzone, creating over,000 jobs. Investment volume in the Subzone exceeds PLN 500M, and is expected to increase to several billion. Companies wishing to invest in the Subzone can expect public help in the form of a company income tax exemption of up to 70% on investment expenses, and property tax exemption, as part of the regional aid program for job creating investors. 8 4.3 Special Economic Zone 4. European funds Thanks to financing from the European Union, over 16,000 projects were completed, with a total value of more than PLN 9B. The total value of the projects financed in the Lublin Voivodship exceeded PLN 19B, including PLN 1.5B for projects in Lublin itself. Some major projects completed in Lublin with the help of European funds: several road infrastructure projects, infrastructure for the SEZ EURO-PARK MIELEC, incorporating new areas into the zone, and revitalising Lublin s Old Town. 9 4.1 Lublin Airport

Solidarności Głębocka Choiny 15 Bursak 14 6 1 Smorawińskiego Śródmieście Stare Miasto Piaski Wrotków The total supply of modern office space* in Lublin [classes A and B] is close to 150,000 m. Lublin is now the 9 th largest regional market in Poland in terms of office space supply. The modern office space market in Lublin started to develop in the years 001-003, when a total of around 3,500 m was delivered to the market, including Centrum Zana I and Green House. The largest supply growth was noted Las Dąbrowa in the years 007, 011, and 013, when the total office supply increased by nearly 64,000 m Droga dojazdowa, which equals 4% of the city s total. This period saw the completion of do A4 10 such office space projects as Gray Office Park [A, B, and C], with 36,700 m of space, 3 and Nord Park [B and C], with 8,50 m. * Modern office buildings completed after 1989.

These investments include, among others, Soul Lublin located at the intersection of Szeligowskiego and Smorawińskiego streets, which will provide 18,000 m of office space, and a multi-use scheme in the former Helenów bus depot, which will be developed by Centrum Zana [the total leasing space of almost 100,000 m ]. 5. Office locations in Lublin Buildings such as Centrum Zana I and II, Zana Office I and II, Gray Office Park A-D, Zana 11 the Damar building, Hanesco Zana 41 or Zana House are located in the vicinity of Tomasza Zana and Konrada Wallenroda streets, as is the majority of Lublin s office supply. Most of the remaining office buildings are located near Witosa [in the vicinity of the Special Economic Zone], Jana Pawła II, Wojciechowska, and Związkowa streets. Another popular location is the city centre, especially the area of Krakowskie Przedmieście, where office space is located mainly in refurbished historical buildings, typically occupied by banks and law firms. In recent years, the northern parts of Lublin [Szeligowskiego and Smorawińskiego streets] have also been increasingly popular as locations for modern office buildings. The Nord Park buildings are located in this area [three buildings, 13,000 m ], and the Soul Lublin investment is planned [two buildings, 18,000 m ]. 5.3 Growing demand for new office space In recent years, BPO/SSC companies have increased their business activity in Lublin. The constant expansion of this sector, employing more and more people, results in a growing demand for office space. Several new players entered the market, thanks to the stable economic and political situation in Poland, a highly-qualified workforce and relatively low operational costs in Lublin as compared to more mature markets, such as Kraków, Wrocław, Tricity, Katowice, or Poznań. At the moment, a dozen or so BPO/SSC/IT centres operate in Lublin, including: Asseco Business Solutions, Britenet, CompuGroup Medical Polska, eleader, Comarch, Infinite, Genpact, Inteligo, PKO BP, Orange, Proama, Convergys, RTV EURO AGD, SII, Mobica and Transition Technologies. The rapid growth of the BPO/SSC sector in Poland further increases Lublin s potential. Large numbers of university students and graduates, relatively low salaries, and office leasing costs, as well as the creation of the Special Economic Zone, may well attract further international investors. As a result, we might expect a higher demand for office space and stronger activity in the lease market. 11 0 001 00 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 01 013 014 0 1 Centrum Biurowe Kraśnicka Soul Lublin New supply per year Cumulative supply (available) Source: DTZ
5.4 Decreasing vacancy rates Vacancy rates of modern office stock in Lublin 6. WAREHOUSE MARKET IN LUBLIN Czechów Choiny Bursak Rudnik al. Warszawska As a result of continued demand coupled with a decrease in the supply of new office space in 014, vacancy rates fell from 17.8% at the end of 013 to 9.3% in 014, which was one of the sharpest decreases in vacancy rates in Poland. 5.5 Attractive rental rates Asking rents for modern office space in Lublin are at about EUR 10-13/m /month. Average lease rates are at about EUR 11-1/m /month. In addition to the rents, utility bills run at about PLN 10-13/m /month. When compared to other major regional cities in Poland, rent rates for prime office space in Lublin are lower. In the coming years, Lublin should maintain this advantage, which will in turn result in attracting even more tenants.

MLP Lublin 6.1 Outlook and future trends Lublin has one of the largest, largely untapped potential as a location for new logistics and industrial investments in Poland. Its main advantage compared to more developed Polish warehouse hubs is its strategic location near Poland s eastern border and, at the same time, the European Union s eastern border. It allows investors to locate future warehouse buildings in close vicinity to large markets [Ukraine, Belarus] while simultaneously maintaining business stability and security which has become typical for Poland. Another factor which encourages new investments from the industrial-logistics sector is a large supply of highly qualified personnel and relatively low labour and business costs. 6. Warehouse locations in Lublin One of the most attractive locations for new industrial-warehouse investments is the Lublin Subzone of the EURO-PARK MIELEC Special Economic Zone. The Subzone currently comprises ca. 10 hectares of investment area and is located next to Lublin Airport, as well as the S1/S17 expressway. Companies looking to invest in the Subzone can expect incentives such as a company income tax exemption of up to 70% on the capital invested in the zone. So far as many as 30 entities decided to invest in the zone, of which 16 have already started operating. These companies include Alipast Sp. z o.o., Ball Packaging Europe Sp. z o.o., Biomaxima S.A., and ABM Greiffenberger Poland. 6.3 Demand for warehouse space and vacancy rates The demand for warehouse and logistics-industrial space in Lublin remains high. It is generated mainly by industrial and logistics tenants, who highly value Lublin s convenient location and ready access to highly qualified personnel. Retail and FMCG tenants are also showing a growing interest in Lublin as a location for modern warehouse space. As the city develops and more transport infrastructure is built demand for this type of space in the local market is expected to grow steadily. Another cause for this will be the tenants need to move from older warehouse buildings to newly developed schemes. There are plans to expand the existing warehouse and industrial buildings in Lublin in the next years, and to construct new schemes. As a result, the total space of these assets will reach 130,000 m. Considering the Lublin market s strong potential for development, its power of attraction, and a significant interest on the part of warehouse investors, the supply of modern industrial-logistics space is expected to reach ca. 00,000 m by 019-00, making the Lublin region one of the fastest growing logistics hubs in Poland. Another location that interests investors is the area around the previously mentioned S1/S17 expressway, which serves as Lublin s ring road. 6.4 Rental rents Asking rental rates for warehouse space remain at a relatively high level of ca. EUR 3.75-4.5/m /month; a result of a limited supply of modern warehouses and high demand on the tenants part. Asking rates in Lublin are higher compared with Poland s other logistics hubs, which might be another factor encouraging further warehouse investments.
