VOLUME DOWN BY AROUND HALF, BUT Q4 STRONGER
-
The transaction volume in 2025 reached only €770 million, which is less than half of the already moderate result of the previous year (-53%). A comparably weak result was registered in the Main metropolis only in 2009, i.e. immediately after the financial crisis. The sobering result is mainly due to the lack of major deals, a number of which are in the sales process but could not be finalised last year. In the small and medium-sized market segments, on the other hand, there was a lively and slightly increasing demand.

In a nationwide context, Frankfurt occupies an unusual position and only ranks sixth in a comparison of the investment volumes of the A-locations. Currently, the gap to the top performers – Berlin (€3.2 billion), Munich (€2.6 billion) and Hamburg (€1.9 billion) – is disproportionately large. With the first large-volume transactions, especially in the office segment, Frankfurt will catch up with the currently strongest locations with a time lag, but then quickly.
