Periskop Poland with new leadership structure: Jacek Wachowicz and Christian Fojtl appointed as new Managing Directors

Effective March 1, 2026, Jacek Wachowicz and Christian Fojtl (on a part-time basis) have taken over the management of Periskop Poland. Both join the management board of the Warsaw subsidiary of Periskop Partners AG, where the current focus is exclusively on land banking activities. They succeed Monika Murawska, who is leaving the company at her own request to take on a new leadership role in the real estate sector.

Jacek Wachowicz brings over 25 years of experience in investment management, project development, and strategic consulting. His previous positions include Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners, Immobel Poland, GTC SA, and Heitman.

Christian Fojtl has more than 30 years of experience in the European real estate industry, including roles at Catella Poland, Warsaw Property Partners, and Warimpex Finanz- und Beteiligungs AG. Based in Vienna, he will serve as a link between the Berlin headquarters and the Warsaw office.

The new management will be supported, as before, by Paweł Jastrzębski, whose extensive local transaction experience ensures operational continuity.

Lars Meisinger, CEO of Periskop Partners, commented: “We sincerely thank Monika Murawska for her contribution to building Periskop Poland. With Christian Fojtl and Jacek Wachowicz, we are setting the course for the next phase. We are convinced of the opportunities in the Polish market. While international investors remain cautious due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, the combination of robust economic growth, rising space demand, and a structural shortage of development-ready land creates exactly the environment in which our landbanking approach delivers its greatest value. Once the geopolitical situation improves, interest from international investors in Poland is expected to increase significantly. We have clear ambitions to scale our commitment there.”

Poland ranks among the EU’s strongest economies, with GDP growth projected to exceed 3 percent for 2026. The demand for development-ready land in academic metropolitan areas such as Warsaw, Kraków, and Wrocław far exceeds available supply. Periskop Partners acts as investment advisor to a Poland-focused landbanking fund whose strategy is based on the same proven principles as its successful German business.

A comprehensive spatial planning reform is coming into effect in Poland. It requires all municipalities to introduce binding, digitalized land-use plans – so-called “General Plans” – replacing the previously non-binding development studies. A newly established, nationwide electronic urban planning register also provides full transparency of all spatial planning acts for the first time.

With the appointments of Jacek Wachowicz and Christian Fojtl as Managing Directors, Periskop Partners reaffirms its long-term commitment to Poland. The Warsaw office is expected to play a central role in expanding the landbanking portfolio and developing new products.
