MORE THAN 34 % ABOVE LONG-TERM AVERAGE
-
The Düsseldorf logistics market recorded a very dynamic leasing performance in the first half of 2026. With take-up totaling 161,000 sqm, the market almost matched the outstanding result achieved in the same period of the previous year (166,000 sqm). At the same time, the region continues to demonstrate remarkable consistency: on a quarterly basis, predominantly above-average take-up volumes have been generated since Q3 2024. The market’s strong performance is also reflected in a comparison with Germany’s major logistics hubs. Standing 34% above the average first-half result recorded since 2017, Düsseldorf currently posts the strongest outperformance relative to its long-term average among all top markets.

One of the key drivers behind the vibrant market activity and particularly strong second quarter (approximately 95,000 sqm alone) was the completion of four larger lease transactions in excess of 10,000 sqm over the past three months. These included two logistics service providers, GV Logistik (12,400 sqm; Mönchengladbach) and DFSJ (12,100 sqm; Düsseldorf), as well as two retail occupiers, Solago (12,000 sqm; Düsseldorf) and Amazon (10,000 sqm; Düsseldorf).
