TAKE-UP ABOVE THE LONG-TERM AVERAGE
Although the second quarter was somewhat quieter than the start of the year, the Stuttgart logistics and storage market nevertheless achieved a very good result in the first half of the year with 85,000 m² of take-up, which is 14 % above the long-term average. The comparable figure for the previous year was even exceeded by almost a third despite longer lockdown phases in the current year. In Stuttgart, too, the progress of the vaccination campaign, the rising confidence in the economy and the accompanying slow normalisation of life are thus reflected in an upturn in demand in all market segments. The industrial companies that are
particularly important for the Stuttgart market are also noticeably picking up speed again. It is therefore unsurprising that the largest contribution so far this year is attributable to the automotive sector: In Sachsenheim, Porsche is expanding its existing site by well over 30,000 m² with the construction of production halls and warehouses as well as a high-bay warehouse. Other large leases were signed by Amazon in Korntal-Münchingen (9,500 m²) and a logistics firm in Ehningen (8,500 m²).
