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.

The JLL Q1 2026 industrial real estate market report for Île-de-France documents 186,000 m² of leasing demand (down 28% year-over-year and 38% below the five-year average) across 205 completed leases, with average rents at 121 €/m²/year, prime rents at 190 €/m², and immediate available supply at 2 million m² (up 7% annually). The report attributes rent declines and weak demand to oversupply conditions and broad economic constraints affecting tenants, though the buyer's market reportedly provides companies with enhanced negotiating leverage.

French commercial real estate investment volumes reached 1.94 billion euros in the first quarter of 2026, representing a 47 percent decline from the same period in 2025 and the lowest level since 2010, driven by political instability in late 2025 and geopolitical tensions in Iran that dampened investor confidence.
