TAKE-UP IN LINE WITH LONG-TERM AVERAGE
-
At 44,000 sqm, office take-up in Dortmund was broadly in line with the long-term average (approx. 45,000 sqm) at mid-year 2026. Compared to the same period last year, however, take-up declined by around 32%, reflecting the still challenging economic environment.
-
More than half of total take-up was generated by smaller leases between 200 sqm and 2,000 sqm, highlighting aresilient market activity. Demand for medium-sized units between 5,000 sqm and 10,000 sqm also proved robust, accounting for an above-average 27% share of total take-up.
-
The City Centre was the strongest-performing submarket, contributing around 29% of total take-up, closely followed by the remaining urban area (30%). Activity was driven by the largest transactions recorded so far this year, including the Jobcenter Dortmund leasing more than 6,000 sqm in the city centre and Amazon taking approximately 5,500 sqm at Segro Park Dortmund.
-
Prime rent in the City Centre stands at €23/sqm/month, maintaining the record level reached at the start of the year. This represents growth of around 15% year-on-year. Average rent currently amounts to €14.60/sqm/month.
