€/sqm per year
Cool's prime office rents show steady growth from €155 to €187/m² over 2016–2025 (+16%). Until 2019, the market expanded gradually (€170 reached). The 2020–2021 pandemic period stalled momentum, with prices dipping to €167 due to reduced occupier demand and office space glut. From 2022 onwards, rental growth accelerates sharply (+5–6% annually), driven by rising interest rates, inflation, and sustained demand for quality A-grade stock in central urban nodes. The 2025 peak (€187) reflects scarcity of prime assets. The 2026 decline hints at early stabilisation or modest correction following years of steady appreciation.
