BNP Paribas Real Estate's Q1 2026 review of Cologne's office market reports floor turnover of 45,000 square meters, down 33 percent year-over-year and 24 percent below the long-term average, attributed to challenging macroeconomic conditions and prolonged leasing processes. Prime rents remained stable at 33.50 euros per square meter while average rents rose 3.9 percent year-over-year to 21.40 euros per square meter, with vacancy increasing to 515,000 square meters (6.5 percent of total stock) and pre-leasing of new construction at a high 73 percent, though market activity is expected to recover through the remainder of 2026 given numerous large tenant inquiries in process.
BNP Paribas Real Estate reports that Cologne's commercial real estate investment market achieved approximately €256 million in transaction volume during Q1 2026, a 195% increase year-over-year, with office assets dominating at 79.3% of activity and the highest transaction volume since 2022.

Düsseldorf's investment market recorded 167 million euros in transaction volume during Q1 2026, representing a 32.8 percent year-on-year decline and marking the weakest first-quarter start in ten years, though deal count remained stable and net prime yields held steady at 4.50 percent for office and logistics properties and 3.95 percent for best-located retail buildings. Retail investments dominated Q1 activity at 50.5 percent of volume due partly to four transactions linked to CENTRUM insolvency, while deals under 50 million euros prevailed, no transactions exceeded 100 million euros, and geopolitical tensions posed ongoing uncertainty despite expectations for increased transaction frequency in subsequent months.
