TAKE-UP: 104,000 SQM +18 % VERSUS TEN-YEAR AVERAGE
-
The Frankfurt market for warehouse and logistics space has made a dynamic start to 2026. With take-up of 104,000 sqm in the first quarter, it exceeded both the previous year’s figure by 65% and the ten-year average by 18%.
Despite ongoing geopolitical and economic uncertainties, there was a noticeable increase in demand across all markets, which was concentrated in particular on central locations and those with good infrastructure connections. With supply remaining limited, there continues to be a significant excess of demand, especially for modern space available at short notice. -
Against the backdrop of strong demand for newly built space available at short notice with excellent transport links, prime rents remain at a high level. The rent prices had already risen noticeably in the previous year: the prime rent for logistics properties rose by 7% to €8.80 per sqm, while the average rent rose by 6% to €7.40 per sqm. The prime rent is achieved in particular in the sub-markets of Mönchhof, Kelsterbach and Raunheim as well as in locations close to the city, favoured by the convenient transport links, the proximity to the airport and the high land price level.
