  • The third quarter mirrors the preceding one with a high degree of caution from occupiers translating into slower than usual activity. 

  • After nine months take-up is on the rise by 13% to 225,584 sq.m. but the number of transactions is falling by 8%. Vacancy overall is down by a bit to 7.1% while it is minimal for Grade A assets.

  • Rental values are consequently up with a new prime rent of €340 / sq.m. / year.

  • Investors sentiment does not improve due to rising cost of financing and uncertain pricing. As a result investment volume is 63% below last year and yields are shifting further.
