Enormous growth -1. Hj. 2017 exceeds full year 2016

The corporate real estate asset class is back on a growth path. This is shown by the evaluation of investment volumes in the current report of the Corporate Real Estate Initiative. The yield compression in the classic asset classes (office and retail), which is still continuing but is easing slightly, is causing investors to focus on corporate real estate in particular. While around 600 million euros were invested in corporate real estate in 2011 and 2012, this figure had already risen to 1.3 billion euros by 2013. The following years of reporting do not show any major slumps in investment activity either. In 2015, the number of transactions even exceeded 2.3 billion euros. This is the previous record result since 2011.
