Office Rental Market - May 2020

Q1 figures do not yet reflect the full impact of the Covid-19 health crisis. Given the lockdown only started on 17 March, it is difficult to assess its impact on the last two weeks of March.

The French Investment Market - May 2020

Our vision of the office Market
The view of Delphine Mutterer

As in 2019, the investment market had a record Q1 in 2020. Historically low interest rates have fuelled the significant number of major transactions concluded in the quarter.

Amounts invested in the non-residential real estate market in France 

  • The market had its best first quarter in the last 12 years. Investment volumes increased by 42% compared with 2019, which was already an excellent year.
     
  • At 31 March, the health crisis had not yet impacted transaction volumes. This illustrates the solidity of the real estate market's fundamentals at the time of lockdown.
     
  • However, in light of the last few weeks and the downgraded annual growth forecasts, we are aware that this excellent first quarter does not presage an exceptional year, but rather one where increased visibility and renewed trust will be prioritised.
