Knight Frank's Q4 2025 quarterly review analyzes investment trends, student demand, and supply delivery in the UK purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) market, finding that investors committed £4.3 billion to PBSA in 2025 (up 10% year-on-year) across 79 deals, with increasing investor appetite for first-generation standing stock and portfolio-level transactions despite pricing misalignments and weaker leasing cycles. Demand-side analysis shows undergraduate acceptances for 2025/26 rose 2.3% year-on-year to 577,725 students with Russell Group institutions significantly outperforming, while PBSA delivery reached 19,600 beds across 64 schemes in 2025 with an additional 50,250 beds under construction, concentrated in London, Bristol, Glasgow, Coventry, and Manchester.
Knight Frank's H2 2025 report on Brussels offices analyzes a bifurcated occupier market where annual take-up reached 383,000 sq m (up 17% year-on-year), driven primarily by large deals above 5,000 sq m totaling 184,000 sq m, while smaller deals under 5,000 sq m stagnated at 199,000 sq m across 304 transactions. 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.
The Prague office market in Q4 2025 experienced its lowest vacancy rate since early 2020, with only five office projects completed during the year representing historically minimal new supply, while prime rents remained stable quarter-on-quarter despite expectations for growth in 2026. Office development activity concentrated in Inner City, and although take-up declined year-on-year, demand continued to exceed long-term averages.
In H1 2025, Belgian semi-industrial take-up declined slightly to 383,000 sq m across approximately 380 lettings and occupier acquisitions, while logistics take-up reached 292,500 sq m across 21 deals, down 32% from the prior period but buoyed by larger transactions in June. 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.
Knight Frank's 2025 assessment of Paris's prime residential market finds that average prices have risen 12% since the pandemic to €22,730 per square metre, while sales volumes have declined sharply to 12,220 properties in the second half of 2024, creating a buyer's market in resale apartments but continued strength in new builds, pied-à-terres, and hôtel particuliers. Global wealth mobility is driving renewed international demand, with Paris ranked as Europe's top relocation destination across all age groups in Knight Frank's 2024 European Lifestyle Report, while domestic French demand remains subdued due to buyers locked into low-rate mortgages, though early signs of recovery are emerging as eurozone interest rates fall.
Madrid's office market recorded take-up of 147,500 square meters in Q4 2025, with annual 2025 take-up around 530,000 square meters in line with pre-Covid levels, while prime rent closed at €43/sqm/month with expected continued increases in 2026 due to limited high-quality supply. Spain's total office investment in 2025 reached approximately €2.4 billion, with Madrid accounting for 67% and Barcelona 28%, though nearly €500 million involved conversions to residential or tourism use, predominantly in Madrid.
This Knight Frank publication surveys Kraków's real estate market across office, retail, warehouse, hotel, residential, and investment sectors as of 2025. The office market section reports that Kraków holds 1.83 million square meters of office stock with a 19% vacancy rate, achieved 267,000 square meters in leasing demand in 2024 (the highest among Polish regional cities), and has 52,000 square meters under construction, with Class A rents ranging from EUR 14–18 per square meter per month.
In Q1 2025, UK purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) investment completed 18 deals worth nearly £750 million, with 56% of transactions involving operational assets and investors increasingly shifting toward mid-market and value-add properties rather than prime assets due to concerns around occupancy, affordability, and international student mobility. The document identifies key sector challenges including supply slowdown caused by higher build costs and regulatory hurdles such as the Building Safety Act and Gateway 2 process, alongside findings that the total PBSA pipeline stands at nearly 200,000 beds with 23% under construction, while operational performance data shows the market returning to normal leasing patterns with expected rental growth of 4–5% nationally for 2025/26.
The report analyzes occupier market trends across four Dutch office markets in 2025: Amsterdam experienced a 14% decline in office take-up to approximately 180,000 sq m, driven by reduced demand for larger spaces and a shift toward units of 200-1,000 sq m, with availability remaining largely unchanged at 990,000 sq m (15.5% of total stock). The Hague saw a notable increase in demand with approximately 104,000 sq m leased (70% higher than 2023), primarily driven by the Central Government Real Estate Agency taking 77,000 sq m, while Rotterdam maintained steady take-up at 87,000 sq m and Utrecht achieved surprisingly strong demand at 115,000 sq m, well above 2023 levels, largely due to major leases from PGGM and De Volksbank.
The Dutch Logistics Market Report 2025, published by Knight Frank, analyzes investment and occupier market trends, supply-demand dynamics, pricing, and future prospects for Netherlands logistics real estate. Key findings include investment volume recovery to approximately €3.25 billion in 2024, Tier 1 prime net initial yields compressing to 4.60%, approximately 4.75 million square meters leased in 2024, vacancy declining to a low 4.0%, and constrained supply driven by planning challenges and grid congestion restrictions limiting new construction.
This Knight Frank Q3 2025 report examines occupier and investment market trends in the West Yorkshire and Humber logistics and industrial sector, finding that year-to-date take-up stands at 1.8 million square feet with a vacancy rate of 7.5% and prime rents at £10.00 per square foot in Leeds. The occupier market saw modest Q3 activity but strong pipeline momentum, with demand concentrated in 50,000–100,000 square foot units comprising half of all year-to-date take-up, while the investment market strengthened in Q3 with prime industrial yields in Leeds at 5.25% and portfolio transactions expected to dominate the second half of 2025.
Knight Frank's Q4 2025 comprehensive guide documents Poland's warehouse market, reporting that total warehouse take-up reached 6.6 million square meters in 2025 (the third-highest annual result on record), while investment volumes increased 11% year-on-year to EUR 1.5 billion, with modern warehouse stock exceeding 36.6 million square meters despite new supply declining 35% to 1.7 million square meters. Key findings include a vacancy rate of 7.4%, asking rents ranging from EUR 3.8–7.5 per square meter per month depending on facility type and location, and strong demand driven primarily by 3PL operators and retail chains, with international investors—particularly from the United States (38% of investment volume) and Czech Republic (16%)—demonstrating continued confidence in Poland's logistics market.
Krakow's 2026 real estate market report by Knight Frank covers office, retail, warehouse, hotel, and residential sectors, presenting market data and trends across Poland's leading regional business center. Key findings include office market take-up reaching a historic high of 269,500 sq m in 2025 with a 18.4% vacancy rate, retail stock at 658,000 sq m with exceptionally low 2.6% vacancy, and warehouse stock exceeding 1.2 million sq m with 2.8% vacancy amid constrained supply.
In H1 2025, Poland's office market reached 689,000 sq m in total take-up (up 15% year-on-year), supported by constrained new supply at 343,000 sq m (the lowest in two decades) and a national vacancy rate stabilizing at slightly above 14%, with Warsaw's CBD vacancy falling to 7.1%. Between January 2024 and June 2025, over €2 billion was invested in Polish office assets, with prime Warsaw yields approaching 6% and capital values at EUR 4,500–6,000 per sq m offering significantly lower prices than Western European cities, positioning the market for renewed investor interest as rental growth and yield compression accelerate.
Knight Frank's Q3 2025 "Strong Cities" report examines Warsaw's city attractiveness, office market performance, and labor market trends, presenting data on the city's investment potential, infrastructure, and economic indicators. Key findings include that Warsaw's office market remains stable with a vacancy rate of 9.7% (lowest in nearly five years), total stock of 6.25 million square meters, and 487,000 square meters leased between January and September 2025, while the Polish labor market has entered a phase of stability with cautious wage growth where only 34% of professionals actively seek new employment and double-digit pay rises are rare outside shortage sectors like finance and IT.

The office market shows Kraków as Poland's largest regional market with 1.85 million square meters of stock, 204,000 square meters of take-up through September 2025 (up 21% year-on-year), and an 18.6% vacancy rate, while the labor market has stabilized with employers becoming more cautious about pay increases, with only 34% of professionals actively seeking new employment and strong demand concentrated in finance, IT, cybersecurity, and big data roles.
