Peripheral office rents rise faster than CBDs as lack of prime space forces tenants across Europe from core locations – Savills

30 May 2018

The continued fall in unemployment across Europe is leading to strong office demand and forcing tenants to look to non-Central Business District (CBD) locations, according to international real estate advisor Savills. Prime CBD rents are now on average 4% higher year-on-year (yoy) and 2% above the 2007-2010 rental peak, according to Savills latest European Office Market report for Q1 2018. The lack of affordable good quality space has pushed tenants into non-CBD locations where rents are still on average 70% lower than in CBDs, but are now rising 5.6% yoy and are currently 8% above the five-year average.

Rotterdam Vacancy Levels Expected To Drop Due To Planned Conversions, Savills
