Office Dashboard

With an overall remarkable take-up of 1.37 million m², Germany's office top markets Berlin, Düsseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, and Munich can optimistically start the second half of the year. In total the half-year result is 9% above the previous year's level. However, the second quarter could not match the strong start to the year with its signal-setting large deals. In general, the market is broadly lively, and the market dynamics that have been quite active for months for small contracts are now increasingly being supplemented by deals in the important mid-sized segment. Regarding the take-up figures large deals continue to make the difference at all locations. For the coming quarters, the mixture of headwinds and tailwinds remains complex, but much suggests that the bottom has been reached. With the higher growth rate now expected by economists, the foundation for decisions on new office spaces for many companies is expected to solidify from 2026 onwards.
