Rental market continues to show positive trends

No turnaround was observed on the investment market in the second half of 2023 either. The changed political and economic conditions were reflected in a continuous rise in interest rates, among other things, which continued to have a strong impact on transaction activity. In addition, market participants are concerned about older business parks with a high proportion of office space and fears of recession, particularly in the production property sector. In the second half of 2023, take-up remained at a high level of 1.32 million sqm. The year as a whole saw the highest take-up performance since 2019, which is largely due to a strong result for owner-occupied light manufacturing properties. The continuous rise in rental prices underlines the sustained demand for space in the Unternehmensimmobilien segment.
