Visión Valencia 2025 - Retail High Street

Valencia's prime retail high street zone is expanding driven by tourism and low availability, with rental availability declining to approximately 5% over the past 12 months and streets like Jorge Juan, Ruzafa, and Don Juan de Austria near 0% availability, pushing commercial expansion to adjacent secondary streets around Mercado Colón, Plaza de la Reina, Plaza Mercado, and Calle San Vicente. International operators view Valencia as the third priority city after Madrid and Barcelona for flagship stores, but face challenges due to insufficient large-format retail spaces, while investment yields for prime assets remain near 4% with limited transaction activity as most prime commercial properties are held by private investors with a long-term ownership profile.

Residential Market in Spain — H1 2025 Spotlight (Barcelona)

Spain's residential market accelerated in the first half of 2025 with sales growing 8.5% year-on-year to mark the strongest start since 2007, driven by falling mortgage interest rates (around 2.8%), employment growth, and migration flows that are projected to add over 5 million inhabitants to Spain between 2025 and 2039. Housing prices rose 6.2% in H1 2025 to exceed €2,090/m², with dynamic markets such as Madrid (+7.7%), Málaga (+7.4%), and Valencia (+7.4%) outperforming the national average, while a structural supply deficit estimated at 250,000 units annually continues to fuel upward price pressure despite improvements in new-build permits.
