SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN TAKE-UP COMPARED TO 2024
-
The Berlin logistics market recorded take-up of 425,000 qm in 2025, which corresponds to an enormous increase of almost 55% compared to the weak result of the previous year. After a somewhat moderate start to the year, demand picked up noticeably over the course of 2025, which is reflected both in a higher number of contracts and in significantly larger deals. While no contract was registered in the segment above 20,000 qm in 2024, this category is currently responsible for 35% of take-up and is the decisive factor for the increase y-o-y.

Central, inner-city locations are in particularly high demand, although modern, large-scale assets are sometimes not available to a sufficient extent. With more than half of the registered contracts and 125,000 qm of take-up, almost 30% of the result is attributable to the Berlin municipal area. This is particularly dynamic for smaller areas of up to 5,000 qm. In the periphery, on the other hand, there is a larger offer available overall.
-
The prime rent for logistics space of a unit size above 5,000 qm has risen slightly to €8.25 per qm. Significantly higher rents are achieved for smaller light industrial spaces, especially iwithin Berlin’s city boundaries, including around 30 contracts alone, which add up to around 50,000 qm of take-up.
