Market report Berlin Q1 2025
- About the logistics market in the economic region
According to our data a total of 77,200 m² of logistics, warehouse and industrial space was taken up by all market participants in Greater Berlin in the first quarter of 2025. The market thus recorded a significant increase of 37% compared to the first quarter of 2024 with 56,400 m². The positive trend from the start of the year has continued.
However, take-up is not yet at the level of the 5-year average of the first quarter, which is just under 100,000 m². What is striking is the high proportion of new build space taken up on revitalised brownfield sites at 30,000 m² or 39%, followed by existing properties at 26,900 m² or 36% and new builds (greenfield sites) at 18,800 m² or 25%. In total, 48,800 m² or 64 % of rental agreements were concluded in new-build properties. Proportionally, this is the highest figure since we began keeping records.
Regions and sector analysis
The region with the highest take-up was Berlin East thanks to a major contract signed by an industrial company, which accounted for 36,500 m² or 47% of total take-up.
Among the sectors, manufacturing took first place with 50,100 m² or 65 %, recording a significant increase of 44,900 m² compared to the same period of the previous year, in particular due to the two large contracts signed by a major industrial client and Siemens Energy.
