Key Trends to Help Navigate the CRE Market in H2 2025
Investment
After a rebound in H1 2025 with transaction volume exceeding €500 mil., investment activity is projected to maintain positive momentum through the rest of 2025, potentially reaching €1 billion.
Office
Prime rental growth is anticipated, potentially reaching €21.00/sq m/month by year-end, driven by strong demand for high-quality offices and a limited supply of A+ space.
Industrial
Vacancy is expected to increase due to subdued demand and the upcoming completion of speculative developments launched in previous years. Prime rents are forecasted to remain stable with strong pressure, resulting from overall lowered activity and cautious sentiment.
Retail
H1 recorded few new market entries, whilst more brands are scheduled to launch in the second half of the year, spanning multiple retail sectors.
