Demand for logistics space increases while investment volumes fall by 60%
Demand for logistics and industrial space in the Netherlands increased in the first quarter of 2026, while investment volumes in logistics real estate declined sharply. According to the latest figures from Cushman & Wakefield, take‑up volume rose by 10.5% year‑on‑year in Q1 to approximately 833,000 sq m, while total investment volume in the sector amounted to around €265 million, representing a 60% decrease compared with the same period last year.
