Lisbon 2025 Grade A Office Market - Five years to change the game

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.
