Office Market Frankfurt - Q3 2011
Office Market Frankfurt - Q3 2011
At 316,300 sq m, the Frankfurt office space take-up in the first three quarters was 13% lower than in the previous year. Compared to the previous year, when the space take-up volume was strongly influenced by the owner-occupied take-up by the European Central Bank, this result can be seen as robust.Without the ECB take-up, the growth in take-up would in fact have been at a satisfactory 22%. The vacancy rate rose slightly compared to the previous quarter by 0.2% points to its current level of 17.3%. With 12,700 sq m office space having been completed in the third quarter, the volume of new completions is at its lowest level for three years. The achievable prime rent remained stable at €38.00/sq m/month.
