SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN TAKE-UP COMPARED TO 2024
-
Logistics take-up in the Leipzig market region amounted to 270,000 sqm in 2025. Despite the ongoing challenging market environment, the local logistics market in the trade fair city thus performed comparatively strongly in the past calendar year, even in a nationwide context, ranking ahead of Munich, Cologne and Stuttgart. The good result exceeded the previous year's figure by around 22%, but the long-term average remained out of reach (-9%).

The first and third quarter proved most dynamic, with a number of major deals generating more than 78% of take-up. Almost 139,000 sqm were recorded between July and September 2025 alone, more than half of the annual total. The completion of the new premises of the logistics service provider LIT-Automotive in Kabelsketal with 50,000 sqm was particularly significant. Due to its proximity to the airport and good motorway connections, Kabelsketal and its neighbouring locations in the north of Leipzig are an attractive and highly sought after location for logistics companies. Thus, it is unsurprising that three of the five largest deals signed in 2025 originate here.

Against the backdrop of the existing supply surplus in the Leipzig market region, the rent level continues to be under pressure. At the beginning of the year, the prime rent fell slightly to €5.70 per sqm and has been moving sideways ever since.
