The Cushman & Wakefield Netherlands MarketBeat report for Q1 2026 covers the Dutch industrial and logistics market, reporting total investment volume of approximately €265 million (77% in logistics assets) alongside occupier take-up of 833,000 sqm, while characterizing the market as cautious and highly selective with core capital targeting only prime-quality assets despite subdued transaction volumes. Key findings indicate that investor sentiment deteriorated due to macroeconomic uncertainty and rising financing costs, occupier activity remains steady but increasingly selective with growing rental spreads between prime and secondary locations, and market fundamentals remain resilient with prime rents expected to track inflation while secondary markets face rising vacancy and incentives.

The Hague office market recorded stable conditions in Q1 2026, with take-up increasing to approximately 20,300 square meters compared to 16,300 square meters in Q1 2025, while total available space stood at approximately 128,300 square meters with vacancy at 3.1%, supporting stable prime rents at €245 per square meter per annum. Investment activity remained limited at €7.5 million with a single transaction of approximately 2,800 square meters, and prime net initial yields remained stable at 5.50%, with the market expected to maintain stable conditions driven by location-specific occupier requirements and government-related activity.

The Dutch hotel investment market experienced minimal transaction activity in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 due to a wait-and-see attitude among buyers and sellers, reduced international investor appetite, rising operating costs, and pressure on hotel performance, though interest in Value Add and Opportunistic repositioning strategies is increasing. The occupancy market shows structurally sound underlying demand supported by sustained tourism and constrained supply, but operating performance is pressured by labour costs, cost inflation, and higher taxes, with expected RevPAR decreases depending on location and segment.

Cushman & Wakefield's Netherlands Retail Q1 2026 MarketBeat report finds that retail investment volume reached approximately €263 million in the first quarter, down 9% year-over-year, driven mainly by smaller and mid-sized transactions as larger deals remain deferred amid geopolitical uncertainty and interest rate concerns.

The Dutch residential investment market achieved approximately €1.8 billion in transaction volume during Q1 2026, driven by domestic pension funds acquiring new completions and a transfer tax reduction for investors effective January 1, 2026, though outlook remains uncertain due to cyclical risks and structural headwinds. The owner-occupier market showed early cooling signs with transaction volumes declining more sharply than typical for Q1, house prices falling approximately 3.4% quarter-on-quarter, and lengthened selling periods as rising supply and macroeconomic uncertainty combined with higher mortgage rates to soften buyer sentiment.

Zurich's hotel sector experienced steady growth in room occupancy rates, prices, and revenue per available room, with multiple new hotel openings and renovations occurring in 2025.

The report contextualizes this activity against Brussels's political crisis (exceeding 600 days without a government as of January 2026), credit rating downgrade by Standard & Poor's, and economic headwinds including weak Belgian GDP growth forecast at 1.1% for 2026 and rising public debt exceeding €14 billion.

Belgium's GDP growth is projected at 0.84% for 2025, slightly below the Eurozone average, with modest economic gains driven by public and corporate investment while household spending and export declines constrain expansion. The residential real estate market shows steady rental growth in multi-family assets at €1,255 monthly rent in Brussels with a 4.00% prime yield, though new regulatory caps on rents introduced in May 2025 add investor uncertainty, and demographic shifts toward aging populations and single-person households are reshaping housing demand across student, senior, and multi-family segments.

Investment activity surged significantly, with €587 million invested in logistics (including major deals by Deka Immobilien, Ares Management, and Weerts) and €174 million in semi-industrial (led by WDP's €100 million acquisition of the former Renault site in Vilvoorde), driven by institutional and international investor interest in Belgium's strategic location and strong occupier demand.

Poland's total industrial stock reached 36.03 million square meters in Q2 2025, with a vacancy rate of 8.2% and prime headline rents averaging EUR 4.80 per square meter across five core regional markets, reflecting stable leasing conditions dominated by lease renewals rather than new occupancy. The market showed resilience despite global economic challenges, with Poland's economy growing 3.4% year-on-year in Q2 2025, though construction activity declined 26% year-on-year to 1.47 million square meters under development, indicating developer caution about speculative projects.

The document projects that income growth rather than yield compression will drive returns in 2025, expects new supply of offices and private rental sector housing to fall approximately 65% while logistics declines 12%, and forecasts strong refinancing activity despite some distressed opportunities as interest rates remain elevated relative to pre-pandemic levels.

Dublin's industrial and logistics market experienced record-low take-up of 1.3 million square feet in 2024, the lowest since 2014, driven by a 79% decline in modern stock transactions amid severe supply constraints. The market outlook for 2025 anticipates recovery through 1.7 million square feet of new completions (with only 28% currently leased), alongside prime rent increases to €13.75–€14.00 per square foot from new fire safety regulations and trade policy uncertainty expected to constrain occupier decision-making.
