Following record investment levels in 2025, the Italian commercial real estate outlook for 2026 remains positive. This optimism is underpinned by solid fundamentals and stable financial conditions. Despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and moderate economic growth, price rebalancing and improved access to debt should support investment growth. More moderate expectations for yield compression will steer investment strategies primarily toward the maximization of operating cash flows, while a return of core investors is also anticipated.
Occupier markets will remain broadly positive, supported by solid fundamentals spanning all sectors.
Operational Real Estate will continue to attract capital, with Student Housing playing an increasingly central role to drive investments in the Living sector, while Healthcare will undergo consolidation through platform transactions. Investors in Hotels are projected to pursue opportunities across broader market segments, both in terms of location and positioning.
Technology is shaping the dynamics of alternative sectors, with Artificial Intelligence fueling interest in Data Centres, Energy and Telecommunications infrastructures.
