VOLUME SLIGHTLY BELOW PREVIOUS YEAR'S RESULT, OVER HALF A BILLION IN INVESTMENT TURNOVER
-
With an investment volume of €560 million, the Dusseldorf investment market experienced subdued transaction activity in the first half of 2025. As in other top locations, investment turnover remains well below its long-term average of just under €1.1 billion. Nevertheless, Dusseldorf remains ahead of Stuttgart, Cologne, and Frankfurt, ranking fourth among the A cities.

Although market sentiment has improved noticeably in recent quarters and investor interest has increased, many transactions are still in the marketing or finalization phase. Therefore, they are not yet reflected in the investment volume.
-
Additionally, the market is currently much smaller than usual. The average deal size is only €22 million, largely because no sale in the three-digit million range has been recorded yet. The largest transaction recorded this year was the acquisition of the Grand Central development site by GBI.

Despite the improved sentiment, prime net yields have not changed since the beginning of the year. Prime office properties remain at 4.50%. Logistics properties and premium high street buildings in prime retail locations are still quoted at 4.25% and 3.95%, respectively.
