Kraków's modern office stock reached 1,842,300 sq m by end of 2025, with the City Centre accounting for nearly one-quarter of supply at 436,700 sq m, while leasing activity hit a record peak of 269,500 sq m driven predominantly by lease renegotiations comprising 63% of total take-up. The vacancy rate declined to 18.4% representing 338,400 sq m of available space, though distribution is uneven across zones with the City Centre at 6.3% compared to the Northwest at 28.8%, while class A rents in modern buildings currently stand at EUR 14.00-18.00 per sq m per month with only 11,900 sq m of new supply delivered in 2025 against 55,400 sq m under construction.
Prague's office market ended 2025 with a 5.9% vacancy rate and stable prime rents at €30.00 per square meter per month, supported by record-low new supply of 26,600 square meters delivered during the year while 263,300 square meters remained under construction for 2026-2028 completion. Full-year gross take-up totaled 573,200 square meters, 10% below 2024 levels, though the Czech economy continued to recover driven by domestic demand and rising consumption despite cautious corporate hiring in the office sector.
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.

Prime office rents in Stockholm's CBD reached SEK 9,800/sqm/year in Q1 2026, up 3.2% year-on-year, while the overall vacancy rate rose to 15.9% (up 1.5 percentage points), with peripheral areas such as Kista experiencing significantly higher vacancy at 35.9%. New office supply is constrained, with completions averaging around 80,000 sqm annually through 2028 and approximately two-thirds of upcoming deliveries already pre-let.
Luxembourg's office market in Q1 2026 experienced a sharp 37% year-on-year drop in take-up to 24,779 square meters due to geopolitical tensions, with vacancy improving to 3.6% and prime CBD rents holding steady at €54/sq.m./month while citywide average rents reached €35.6/sq.m./month. Investment activity remained limited with only one major deal—the State's acquisition of Edison 2 for redevelopment into a European school—though the outlook indicates continued rental growth driven by inflation and construction cost pressures.
The JLL report covers Geneva's office market in Q1 2026, finding that available office space decreased and the vacancy rate fell to 5.8% (down 0.8 percentage points from Q4 2025), partly due to temporary asset withdrawals for renovation including BCGE's acquisition of the Atmosphère building removing approximately 12,000 square meters from the rental market. The analysis identifies intensifying market polarization, with prime buildings attracting the most demand while non-recently renovated assets experience persistent vacancies.
The Zurich office market saw vacant office space decrease by 4,900 m² year-over-year with an unchanged availability rate of 5.3%, though District 11 experienced a notable increase to 11.9% availability after over 50,000 m² became available from new developments. Demand remained weak through most of 2025 before picking up near year-end, with tech companies including Meta, OpenAI, and Boston Dynamics taking space, while over 40,000 m² was withdrawn for conversion to other uses, and a reduced construction pipeline of approximately 71,000 m² planned for 2026–2028 is expected to tighten availability again.

The market displayed polarization with strong demand for high-quality CBD and core assets while secondary locations and mediocre properties faced downward rental pressure and higher vacancies, with approximately 109,000 square meters under construction scheduled for completion between 2026 and 2028.

The Geneva office market experienced increased vacancy in 2025, with the regional availability rate rising to 6.6% from 6.2% at end-2024, while CBD vacancies reached 53,300 m² driven by large tenant relocations and post-renovation space returns to market. Prime rents in select lettings reached CHF 1,030 per m² annually (+6% versus 2024), though overall rents remained stable across submarkets, and demand for new certified office space remained solid despite a reduction in planned office supply due to project revisions.

The Luxembourg office market recorded 45,000 sq m of take-up in Q1 2025, with approximately 75% of the 406,000 sq m pipeline under construction already pre-let, reflecting ongoing flight-to-quality demand for modern, ESG-compliant buildings despite a single large 16,000 sq m pre-letting transaction (Lime House by FM Global) driving much of the volume. The investment market experienced its weakest Q1 on record with only €31 million in completed transactions across two deals, while prime rents remained stable at €54/sq m/month and prime yields held steady at 5.00%, with near-term growth dependent on renewed corporate occupier confidence amid persistent geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.

The overall vacancy rate tightened marginally to 8.7%, prime rents remained stable across submarkets ranging from €17.00 to €21.00 per square meter per month, and an estimated 116,800 square meters of new office supply is forecast over the next three years with approximately 91,500 square meters already under construction.
Transaction activity in Brussels's office market fell to historic lows in Q1 2026, with take-up of 40,496 sq.m. down 49% year-on-year—the weakest performance in 25 years—attributed to geopolitical tensions slowing decision-making, while city-wide vacancy remained stable at 7.7%, prime rents held at €400/sq.m./year in the European District, and Grade A space accounted for 43% of transactions. The investment market stalled with only €82 million in transaction volume nationwide, though the outlook suggests potential take-up recovery later in 2026 driven by EU deals despite the possibility of increased vacancy from speculative completions.
Rome's office leasing market recorded take-up of over 36,000 sq. m. in Q1 2026, representing 49% growth compared to Q1 2025, while prime rents remained stable at €610/sq. m./year.

Lisbon's office market is undergoing a transformation driven by occupier demand for high-specification, sustainable buildings, yet only 15-20% of the city's total office stock currently meets Grade A standards, creating a significant supply-demand mismatch. European Grade A office development completions are expected to rise to 4.3 million square meters in 2025 but fall sharply to 3.1 million square meters in 2026, the lowest level since 2017, while speculative development has halved to just 1.6% of stock, with most new schemes pre-let prior to completion, intensifying competition for prime space and putting upward pressure on rents.
Amsterdam's office market recorded solid leasing activity in 2025 with take-up reaching approximately 210,000 sq m, driven primarily by the South Axis and city centre where occupiers sought prime, ESG-compliant buildings. Investment volumes in Amsterdam totalled approximately EUR 651 million in 2025, the highest among Dutch cities, with prime gross initial yields standing at 5.25% and improved financing conditions attracting family offices and domestic capital.

Rome's office occupier market experienced a quiet year in 2025 with take-up of 144,600 sqm, down 19% year-on-year, and 113 total deals closed (down 20% year-on-year), driven partly by the largest transaction of the year exceeding 25,000 sqm in Q4.
