With approx. 616,000 m² of storage and logistics space, turnover in 2021 was around 25% more than in the record year 2019 (approx. 493,000 m²). This relates to an increase of 41% on the average value for the past five years. Most of the rentals (41%) were in southern Berlin and the surrounding area.

Warehouse and logistics space by region

Industrial Market Areas

In Berlin and the surrounding area, modern space available for short-term leasing is declining noticeably. While approx. 203,000 m² of hall space came onto the market in 2021, only approx. 160,000 m² of completion volume is targeted for the current year 2022. Of the available space, only about one-third is currently available. This explains a stable top rent for storage space in the range of 5,000 m² and above of €5.50/m²/month, which will continue to rise in the future due to the increasing shortage of space within this segment.

Urban Development Plan Economy 2030

With the decision of the Stadtentwicklungsplan Wirtschaft 2030 (Urban Development Plan Economy StEP Wirtschaft 2030), 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.
