ABOVE-AVERAGE RESULT
-
Düsseldorf's logistics market had a good start to 2026 with take-up of 66,000 sqm. Although the logistics region of the NRW metropolis is not able to match the exceptionally high result from the first quarter of 2025 (-35%), it is still a remarkable 10% above the ten-year average. It is particularly noteworthy that this result was achieved without a deal beyond the
20,000 sqm mark. The largest registered lease agreement to date was signed by a logistics firm in Mönchengladbach of 15,000 sqm. -
Demand is quite dynamic, especially in the space segment up to 10,000 sqm, which is reflected in brisk letting activity and an overall high number of contracts. With a total of around 20 deals, the figure is as its highest since 2021. In the large-scale sector, on the other hand, the leasing processes are currently taking somewhat longer.
After the prime rent for space of 5,000 sqm or more had already risen by 2.4% to €8.70 per sqm in the previous year, it stabilised at this level in the first quarter. The average rent is also unchanged from the end of the year standing at €7.00 per sqm, an increase of 2.9% year-on-year.
