Clients' interest in new industrial premises in the Czech Republic continued to grow significantly last year. Thanks to high demand, which reached a record 2.39 million square meters in gross terms for the whole of last year, the vacancy rate for industrial premises fell to 1.63%, which is a historic low. The result was also affected by the lower volume of completed industrial properties due to the impact of anti-pandemic measures. However, this changed at the end of the year, when up to 800,000 square meters of industrial space were under construction. The acute need to feed the tenants' enormous demand is also evidenced by the fact that the share of speculative construction has increased again after a longer period of time.
