The need for development in the context of energy standards and the economic environment
European office markets are poised to change. European office property markets are heterogeneous, complex and diverse. Demand is driven by demographic and economic factors, while energy efficiency is becoming an increasingly important political and social issue. These differences present both challenges and opportunities for investors, developers, and tenants. Potential can be found in both established and dynamic markets, as we show in our latest study on European office property markets.
We see tremendous opportunities in this rapidly changing environment. The growing demand for certified green office properties offer professional developers and investors the opportunity to establish themselves as pioneers in this field. Upgrading older buildings can add significant value and open new rental and sales opportunities.
In addition, the growing importance of energy efficiency can be used as a differentiator in a highly competitive market. From a quantitative point of view, office property markets can be regarded as particularly relevant, liquid and therefore primarily interesting and suitable for institutional investors from a space stock of around 10 million m² - nine locations in Europe, four of them in Germany, meet this requirement. Our latest research report makes a decisive contribution to this by highlighting the specific conditions in each country and identifying suitable development strategies.
