THIRD BEST START OF THE YEAR

In the first quarter of 2019, a take-up of 194,000 m² was recorded in the Munich office market. Compared to the previous year, this corresponds to a decline of just under 16 %. Nevertheless, this result represents the third best start to the year in the last ten years. There are two main reasons for the somewhat more moderate result. On the one hand, as in the last two years, record figures in the first quarter in particular depend on individual major deals. However, these are not always completed at the beginning of the year.
