Rent contracts for industrial premises are being extended. This is due to strong demand

In the commercial real estate market, there is currently a shortage of industrial and logistics premises, as well as land suitable for their construction. This is mainly due to growing demand, and the fact that local governments aren’t motivated by tax benefits to construct them. The situation is most evident in the vicinity of large cities, and also affects the growth of rent levels. Moreover, it has also caused a new trend in the form of the extension of rent contracts. The first new projects of over 20,000 sq m can only be expected in the second half of 2022.
