VERY SUBDUED YEAR ON THE LEIPZIG INVESTMENT MARKET
-
Leipzig's investment market can look back on a very subdued year. With a total investment volume of only €204 million, a significant decline (-43% compared to 2024) was recorded for the third year in a row. This means that the market remains at a far below-average level and will not be able to build on its old strength for the time being.

Looking at the year as a whole, it is clear that the transaction dynamics varied in the various quarters. After a very weak start to the year, the frequency of deals has temporarily increased noticeably. The second quarter was also able to score with the second-highest result of the year. With the acquisition of the retail park in the "Plagwitzer Höfe" development by the Rewe Group, one of the largest deals of the year was successfully concluded in the spring. While the third quarter was disappointing both in terms of the number of deals and the volume traded, transaction momentum increased significantly again at the end of the year. In the last quarter, almost €90 million was placed in the Leipzig market.
