DECLINE IN TAKE-UP IN 2025
-
The Leipzig office market achieved take-up of 85,000 sqm in 2025, and thus around 29% below the previous year's result. The persistently challenging macroeconomic situation continues to have a dampening effect on letting activity. Although there was brisk movement in the smaller space segment up to 500 sqm throughout the year, it was not possible to compensate the low take-up in larger size segment. In the first two quarters in particular, the low number of contracts over 2,000 sqm had a noticeable impact on the result. In the second half of the year, however, the market gain momentum slightly. The two largest leases of the year by Deloitte (8,000 sqm) in the Graphisches Viertel/Prager Straße and by Deutsche Bahn (5,600 sqm) in the Ringlage office market zone made a significant contribution to this.

Meanwhile, the average rent of the overall market is standing at €13.50/sqm (+4% year-on-year).
