Industrial sub-markets
High demand for modern space across all sectors and a significant rise in construction costs have resulted in a stable prime rent of €8.20/m² and an average rent of €7.20/m² for the Berlin logistics region. On the supply side, more space is available for short-term rental than in previous years due to completed new construction projects and an expanded portfolio. Despite economic uncertainty, the logistics market in the German capital is particularly attractive for many companies.

Urban Development Plan Economy 2040
With the decision of the Stadtentwicklungsplan Wirtschaft 2040 (Urban Development Plan Economy StEP Wirtschaft 2040), a framework was created to systematically consider potential locations and secure them for the long term. In the future, the aim is to achieve faster activation and better utilization of space. The development concept for the production-dominated area in Berlin (EpB), in its updated version, continues to be part of the urban development plan.
