SOLID HALF-YEAR RESULT
-
Leipzig’s investment market recorded its strongest half-year result since 2022. Transaction volume reached €278m in the first half of 2026. While the result remains below its long-term average in absolute terms, the gap of 17% is significantly narrower than in the top cities.
-
The solid performance was driven by a strong start to the year, with €209m transacted in Q1. The Höfe am Brühl shopping centre was the clear volume driver, contributing a triple-digit million amount. Transaction frequency did not slow over the remainder of the period, although activity was mainly concentrated in deals below €10m. The disposal of a hotel in the mid-double-digit million range as part of a portfolio sale was the exception.

Market conditions for Leipzig, as for the other top markets, remain challenging. Weak economic momentum and geopolitical uncertainty continue to weigh on activity. As a result, prime yields have moved out over the past twelve months. High-street properties rose to 5.00% (+20bps), logistics assets to 4.80% (+35bps) and prime office assets to 5.60% (+30bps).
