Investment in industrial real estate in Europe fell by a fifth. Czech Republic is suffering from a lack of quality properties for sale
Investment in industrial real estate in Europe fell by 21% year-on-year in Q1. The blame lies with the uncertain and less predictable global economic situation, or the impact of geopolitical instability in the Middle East, affecting in particular the performance of the logistics market. The total volume of EUR 7.5 billion for which warehouses and production halls on the European continent changed hands in the first quarter of this year is below the long-term quarterly average. However, data from real estate consultancy 108 REAL ESTATE, shared with BNP Paribas Real Estate as part of an alliance, shows that compared to traditional investment dominants such as France, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK, investor activity grew in Central European countries.
