“The limited pipeline in the office segment will translate into rental growth, while demand is expected to remain consistent even if the renegotiations/renewals of existing contracts will be the main driver of this relatively high demand. A further rental growth is estimated also for industrial and logistics projects, where the pipeline consisting mainly of build-to-suit projects will lead to a further vacancy rate drop.
Reducing in the interest rate will sustain the recovery of the property investment activity.
