Czech Commercial Real Estate Market Sees Record-Breaking Investment
In 2025, the Czech commercial real estate investment market achieved its most successful period in history, with total transaction volumes reaching an unprecedented €4.2 billion. This represents more than a twofold year-on-year increase, underscoring the market's exceptional vitality. The final quarter of 2025 alone contributed significantly to this boom, recording €1.8 billion, making it the strongest quarter ever for the Czech market. This historic performance, as highlighted by Cushman & Wakefield data, positions the Czech Republic as a leader in investment recovery across the CEE region.
Industrial & Logistics Sector: A Key Pillar for Growth
The industrial and logistics sector emerged as a dominant force in this record-breaking year, accounting for a substantial 19% of total investments, approximately €800 million. This segment's strong performance was only surpassed by office (32%) and retail (28%) spaces, confirming its status as a critical pillar of the market. Businesses seeking warehouse or production facilities will find encouragement in the sector's long-term demand for storage and manufacturing capacities, which translates into stable yields for high-quality properties. A notable transaction included the sale of a portfolio of ten logistics parks by Contera to the American investment fund Blackstone, demonstrating significant investor confidence in this area.
A Market Driven by Domestic Strength
A distinctive feature of the 2025 market was the overwhelming dominance of domestic capital. Czech investors were responsible for an impressive 86% of all full-year investments, a figure that soared to 97% in the final quarter. This strong local engagement signifies a robust and self-reliant market, providing a stable foundation for businesses considering long-term commitments in office or logistics spaces.
Optimistic Outlook for 2026 and Beyond
The positive momentum is projected to continue into 2026. Based on ongoing transactions in both the industrial and office sectors, high investment activity is expected to persist. For businesses, this means continued opportunities to find modern, high-quality spaces. Crucially, the demand for cutting-edge logistics centers that meet stringent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) criteria is anticipated to consistently outstrip the supply of available projects for sale. This trend emphasizes the importance of securing future-proof facilities in a competitive market.
