The Hamburg office rental market made a solid start with 99,200 m² in the first quarter of 2023, but there was a 22 % decline in space sales compared to the same period last year. This decline can be attributed to a lower share of owner-occupiers and a lower turnover in the 1,000 to 2,000 m² segment. It remains to be seen whether this decline in acreage sales is only temporary or whether it will continue in the coming quarters. Despite the decline in space sales in the first quarter of 2023, the atmosphere in the Hamburg office market is good. There is a high demand for well-equipped office space in good locations, especially by medium-sized companies up to a size of 5,000 square meters. Sustainability aspects and ESG compliance are playing an increasingly important role in rental decisions.
