Office market Q3/2023
The end-of-year sprint has started
In the first three quarters of 2023, the Hamburg market for office leasing achieved a take-up of 326,100 m². In the last three months, a lack of deals by major customers has meant that quarterly take-up has settled at the level seen during the Corona pandemic. Around 80 % of the take-up achieved was in existing properties.
Demand for existing space is generally high, but only if the location, condition and standard of fit-out are also of a high quality. Particularly in the highly sought-after prime locations, high-quality offices are hardly available on the market. At the same time, office space that can be occupied at short notice and meets the requirements of potential tenants is scarce and fiercely contested. Office buildings that are no longer up to date have to be refurbished in order to find a suitable tenant again. The necessary investments should not be underestimated, but pay off in the medium to long term through the realized adjustment of market rents.
- Prime rent remains unchanged at record level of 35.00 €/m²
- The average rent is 21.10 euros/m²
- Vacancy rate of 4.5 %
- For 2023, prime and average rents are still expected to largely stabilize at the current high level
- Total area turnover in 2023 is expected to be slightly below the level of the 5-year average and will reach a maximum of 450,000 m²
