Czech Republic among top 3 countries in industrial investment stability
According to Savills’ latest European Logistics Outlook, industrial investment volumes, which totalled €5.1 billion, declined by 49 percent q-o-q and by 73 percent compared to Q1 2022, which was notably a record high. Compared to the same period last year on a country-by-country, the Czech Republic (-3 percent) recorded the smallest declines in investment volumes year-on-year.
Poland witnessed an uplift in investment. Poland saw a 110 percent increase year on year, mainly driven by the purchase of a 185,000 sqm industrial warehouse by P3 Logistics Parks from Panattoni.
Fraser Watson, Investment Advisory Director at Savills CZ&SK, says: “The Czech industrial market has shown a high degree of resilience to the wider macroeconomic forces at play across the continent.”
