IC Immobilien Gruppe increases letting result in 2025 to significantly more than 120,000 m²

• Take-up of 70,000 m² in previous year exceeded by more than 75%

• Top 7 and smaller markets each contributed about half to this success – from office, retail and gastronomy to warehouse space

• Renewals as stability factor

IC Immobilien Gruppe’s own asset and leasing management can look back on a successful year of 2025. Nationwide it posted a take-up of more than 123,000 square metres – a significant increase of 75 per cent on the some 70,000 square metres in the previous year and also considerably higher than the result in 2023. 

As had already been the case in 2024, the past year also confirmed the enormous significance of renewals, which had a share of nearly 86 per cent in the entire take-up. “The very pleasing and distinctly improved leasing result in what in part remains a difficult market environment is testimony to the capabilities of our in-house experts, our robust network, and partnerships with owners and tenants alike based on cooperation and trust. The close personal service for our existing tenants is currently our most important asset – renewals are a major stability factor across all markets,” says Melanie Heller, Head of Letting at IC Immobilien Gruppe. 

Broken down by individual usage segments, around 23 per cent of the total take-up was accounted for by the office asset class. Alongside an extremely low residential proportion, the asset classes retail, gastronomy, warehousing and other areas accounted for the bulk of the leases. The share of the Top 7 markets came to just less than 47 per cent in 2025. This represents a substantial recovery after the seven largest markets had only attained a share of 15 per cent in 2024.
