In terms of the locations preferred by occupiers, take-up in the capital city concentrated on the Centre submarket in H1 2021, followed by the EUR area.
The record results achieved in terms of Office sector take-up, with a transacted area of over 130,000 sqm in Milan and Rome, has reconfirmed GVA Redilco’s leadership in the sector and a positive trend for the second half of the year is also expected, accompanied by a sustained increase in demand for office spaces. This is mainly oriented towards Grade A/A+ product in prestigious and attractive locations, with the highest quality standards and international energy efficiency certifications, suitable for hosting new innovative formats characterizing the internal design and the management of the spaces.
The Logistics real estate market continues to grow, with exceptional take-up of approx. 1,300,000 sqm, representing a 56% increase compared to the first half of 2020.
