Properties in the industrial investment market (logistics
and production properties as well as business parks)
changed hands for a total of around €7.5bn (Graph 1) over
the last twelve months (February 2020 to January 2021).
The transaction volume for the full year of 2020 totaled
approximately €7.1bn, which was in line with the previous
year (Table 1). Hence, the industrial property market
proved significantly more resilient than other commercial
uses during the year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The investment market for industrial property (logistics
and production properties as well as business parks) gained
momentum in the first quarter of the current year. The

(Table 1). The rolling twelve-month volume rose to almost
€7.5bn by the end of March (Graph 1). Around 40% of the
