increased interest in office real estate
The investment market showed a clear increase in activity in 2025, driven by a strong second half of the year. Interest in office real estate strengthened, especially among private investors and Dutch institutional investors. This resulted in greater market momentum and shorter transaction timelines. Private equity and foreign institutional investors remained relatively cautious in 2025, and their limited activity weighed on overall investment volumes. In total, the market reached 2.1 billion euros, an increase of 19 percent compared with 2024.
CBRE expects investment activity to continue rising in 2026, with volumes increasing to approximately 2.8 billion euros. A solid occupier market provides the foundation for this outlook. In addition, institutional investors and private equity are expected to become more active, creating a broader and more dynamic investment landscape.
