Especially attractive segments for investment are housing, logistics, healthcare and care properties, Messe München reports. In spite of geopolitical tensions, trade conflicts and international debt, 65.9 per cent of the respondents still regard conditions as positive. 30 per cent believe at least that their companies can absorb a slowdown in economic activity. 62 per cent think that the amount of money invested in real estate in Germany will increase, 31.3 per cent that it will stay the same.
The federal structure in Germany offers many locations with potential beyond the big metropolises. The top ‘B’ location by far is Leipzig (48.1 per cent) followed by Nuremberg (33.6 per cent), Wiesbaden (29.7 per cent), Münster (28.7 per cent) and Hanover (26.3 per cent).
In the opinion of the respondents, residential properties (88.5 per cent) will continue to gain in importance. In particular, public housing/subsidized living is the trend here because 42.9 per cent take the view that this segment will be of increased importance. Logistics is the second area of high potential, the top subcategory here is city logistics properties with an affirmation level of 37 per cent. Healthcare and care properties are the number three area with high potential in the segments. So aside from classical investment properties like offices and retail, it is niche segments which meet with the greatest interest among real estate experts. 40.1 per cent of the respondents indicate that their companies offer customers and business partners digital products and services. These are currently offered along the entire value chain. Most of all, great potential for the future is seen in the areas of “Managing and operating”, “Planning and building” and “Marketing”. “Smart city” is the area with the biggest gap between what’s currently offered and additional potential.
