Wenig frohe Botschaften hat der Datenbankbetreiber MSCI für das erste Halbjahr am europäischen Investmentmarkt zu bieten. Nach wie vor greifen Käufer nur da zu, wo alles stimmt – also in Spanien.
Vorig jaar augustus voorspelden we dat het aantal executieveilingen binnen hotelvastgoed en leisure zou toenemen. Een jaar later zien we die ontwikkeling daadwerkelijk terug in de praktijk. Niet alleen grote recreatiecomplexen, maar ook vakantieparken, recreatiewoningen en chalets komen steeds vaker via een…
De leisuremarkt groeit al jaren en de vraag naar vakantiewoningen blijft onverminderd groot. Maar groei alleen maakt een project nog niet financierbaar. De eerste vraag die wij stellen is dan ook: hoe duurzaam is het verdienmodel? Wat mij betreft zit de werkelijke waarde van leisurevastgoed namelijk niet in de…
Polski rynek nieruchomości komercyjnych ma za sobą najlepsze pierwsze półrocze od 2018 roku. Wartość inwestycji przekroczyła 3 mld euro, a Polska umocniła pozycję największego rynku inwestycyjnego w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej.
Growth is broadening, not relocating
Poland is strengthening its position as one of Europe’s leading industrial and logistics hubs, attracting major investments in factories, distribution centres, energy storage and strategic infrastructure.
Something significant has shifted in Germany's construction industry, largely without being planned. For the first time, the data suggests that renovation, conversion and repurposing of existing buildings are on the verge of overtaking new-build as the dominant form of construction activity in the country.
Germany's hotel market remains open for business in 2026. At the halfway stage, overnight stays are edging higher, investment transactions continue to take place and financing remains available for the right assets. Yet this apparent resilience disguises a market that has become far more discriminating, with…
Germany's rental market is no longer defined simply by rising rents. It is increasingly defined by falling residential mobility. As inadequate housing supply, limited housing turnover and worsening affordability reinforce one another, tenants are remaining in existing homes for longer whilst competition intensifies…
Between the end of 2023 and the end of 2026, residential projects totalling 30.1 million square metres of living space were scheduled for completion across Germany. Around 9.4 million square metres — equivalent to roughly 125,000 homes — will not be delivered. Felix Embacher , managing director of researchers…
Imagine two neighbours in the same apartment building in Munich. Both bought identical apartments for €300,000 in the same year, under the same conditions, with the same financing. One lives in their apartment. The other rents it out. After fifteen years, the landlord has achieved a return on equity of just under…
Homeowners who borrowed during Germany’s era of ultra-cheap money are now reaching refinancing day — and discovering that refinancing in 2026 is not simply about paying a higher interest rate. It is about reconciling two very different financial realities: being substantially wealthier on paper while facing a much…
When REFIRE last updated readers on Germany's open-ended property fund sector in Issue 257, Leading Cities Invest had just become the first fund to enter formal liquidation. The situation has since moved quickly. By the end of June, two further funds had followed: Habona Nahversorgungsfonds Deutschland suspended…
Frankfurt's office market has just produced two headlines that appear to describe different cities. Prime rents in the Central Business District reached €55 per square metre during the second quarter of 2026 — a new all-time high, surpassing even the peak of the dotcom boom. At the same time, office take-up during…
German commercial real estate is approaching the busiest refinancing year of the current cycle, with more than €40bn in loans maturing in 2026 — and most of that debt was priced when interest rates were a fraction of today's levels. The resulting financing gap could exceed €6bn this year alone, according to new…
For three years, German real estate has been waiting for a wave of non-performing loans to break. It hasn't happened — and not because the underlying distress isn't real. According to panellists at a recent PB3C webinar on how Germany's property market is dealing with financial distress, lenders, borrowers and fund…
A former Deutsche Börse headquarters in Frankfurt now accommodates 3,200 students under a 30-year lease to the City of Frankfurt . Completed in just two and a half years after its conversion from office use, the project offers perhaps the clearest demonstration yet of why educational real estate is beginning to…
Last month, REFIRE published a guest column by REM Capital 's CEO Jan Bewarder , setting out how generous Germany's 2026 subsidy environment had become for real estate investors and describing a rare window in which previously unviable projects could once again make financial sense. That assessment is holding up…
Germany has 2.9 million university students, one of Europe's most severe shortages of purpose-built accommodation, and the most sought-after operational real estate segment among institutional investors. And yet German PBSA transactions stagnated at around €70 million in both 2023 and 2024. That gap between desire…
Something unusual happened in the German real estate market in the first quarter of 2026. Healthcare properties — nursing homes, outpatient medical centres, Ärztehäuser — accounted for 12% of total transaction volume. The historical average is 2-4%. In absolute terms, the sector recorded over €1 billion in…
Germany's property finance market entered 2026 with a fragile optimism that has not survived contact with reality. The German Real Estate Financing Index — the Difi , compiled quarterly by JLL and the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) — fell by almost ten points in Q1 2026 to minus 9.1, slipping…
Senior loan spreads in European commercial real estate have nearly tripled since the start of 2024, rising from 1.1% to 3.2% over EURIBOR. That is not a cyclical wobble. It is a structural repricing of debt — and new data published in mid-May suggests the shift is accelerating.
A notable milestone passed almost unnoticed in the German grocery retail investment market last year: for the first time, foreign capital outpaced domestic investment in the sector. It was one of the more striking data points to emerge from a panel discussion on European retail at the Rueckerconsult INVESTMENT Expo…
The day before this panel convened at the Rueckerconsult INVESTMENT Expo in Berlin last week, KanAm Grund signed a lease in the City of London at nearly £110 per square foot. Anthony Bull-Diamond , KanAm's chief executive, mentioned it almost in passing — as live confirmation of a rental trajectory that Philip La…
"Classic core is largely dead. This is the decade of value add." That was Ramin Rabeian 's provocation at last week's Rueckerconsult INVESTMENT Expo in Berlin. The more interesting conclusion, however, was that the distinction itself may no longer matter. What emerged was not a rotation from one strategy to…
It was 50 years ago that the famed blind taste test of Napa and French wines known as the Judgement of Paris crowned the California valley’s vineyards victorious. Overnight, Napa became a global destination synonymous with the world’s best wine. Now, Napa appears poised for another transformative moment. Just an…

Zinsumfeld. Die EZB hat ihre Zinsen im Juli nicht verändert, der weitere Kurs der Notenbank hängt stark von den Energiepreisen und daher der Situation in Nahost ab. Die Zinspause beruhigt den Markt zwar etwas, den schleppenden Abbau von Problemfinanzierungen kann sie aber kaum beflügeln. Ein Studie von Roland…
Zyklus. Noch wartet der europäische Investmentmarkt auf die nächste Boomphase.

Woningzoekers hebben meer keuze doordat het aanbod van bestaande koopwoningen blijft toenemen. Per saldo verwacht ING Research een recordaantal woningverkopen van 245.000 dit jaar.
