INDIVIDUAL DEALS DETERMINE MARKET ACTIVITY
-
The logistics investment market started 2025 with an investment volume of just under €1.3 billion, which is around 8% below the previous year's figure and 31% below the ten-year average. After a very good final quarter of 2024 with a volume of €2.5 billion, the year is therefore starting somewhat more quietly again, which is mainly due to the fact that no transactions in the three-digit million range were recorded in the first three months of the year.
-
Against this backdrop, however, the quarterly result is very remarkable and is almost twice as high as in the first quarter of 2024 when looking at deals up to €100 million and also 23% above the long-term average in this segment.
-
The fact that the market continues to be very lively is also emphasised by the fact that the number of registered transactions is significantly higher than in the two previous years. And while portfolio deals have so far made a comparatively low contribution to the investment volume at 16.1%, individual deals have broken through the billion euro mark, something they have only managed to do three times so far in the first quarter.

The net prime yields remained constant in the first quarter due to the changed conditions and are still at 4.25% in the A-locations and 4.45% in Leipzig.
