Q3 is traditionally the quietest period of the year, returning a low level of activity. 2024 is no exception although the year to date has fared way better than the sluggish 2022 and 2023, largely thanks to corporate and administration deals in Grade A buildings.
Vacancy broke its upward trend as recent deliveries have progressively found tenants. 8% is vacant, vs. 8.3% 3 months ago.
Prime office rents are rising further to a new high of €400 / sq.m. / year, achievable in the European District. Projects in all districts are trading at higher rents vs. previous benchmarks.
