Berlin Office Space Market Makes Record Result

BERLIN OFFICE SPACE MARKET MAKES RECORD RESULT
9 Jan, 2013, Frankfurt

• Vacancy rate falls further
• Prime rent on upward trajectory

The Berlin office space market has charted a record result for the second year in succession. Last year's very strong showing of 685,000 sqm of total rented office space was eclipsed in 2012 with a floor space turnover of 693,000 sqm. The rental volume for 2012 is therefore 47% above the average for the last ten years. In the second and third quarters in particular, Berlin companies proved very active in terms of leasing. Floor space turnover stood at an above-average 190,000 sqm over the two summer quarters. A solid result was achieved at the end of the year too, however, with a quarterly turnover of 173,000 sqm.
