The 2016/2017 Stuttgart office market report

Again in 2016 the Stuttgart office market reached new record levels. The turnover of floor space came to 432,000 square metres for the year, a growth of almost 50 percent. At the same time rents rose slightly, and the vacancy ratio fell by 2.8 percent. As in past years, the main growth driver was industry, but the IT and telecommunication sectors have also been responsible for increasing demand.

In <strong>2016</strong> the final 20 % of the space<br />

formerly occupied by Ernst & Young<br />

was taken up by a health insurance<br />

company, meaning that the district’s<br />

vacancy rate (currently approx.<br />

20,000 m²) has remained stable at the<br />

level prior to Ernst & Young’s relocation.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “WEILIMPARK” initiative,<br />

launched in 2012, has thus demonstrated<br />

a positive effect, preventing a<br />

long-term, dramatic increase in vacant<br />

space in the area. Completion of<br />

the 21,000 m² expansion of Vector’s<br />

company premises also demonstrates<br />

how another area of the industrial<br />

park is being transformed into<br />

a service sector site. <strong>The</strong> complete<br />

re-letting of the M+W building at<br />

Lotterbergstrasse, comprising 15,000<br />

m² of <strong>office</strong> space and a further<br />

10,000 m² of manufacturing space,<br />

is a development which was not registered<br />

by the <strong>market</strong>. Weilimdorf is<br />

also starting to see developers once<br />

again begin to purchase plots with a<br />

view to constructing new buildings<br />

on them. In the last two years in particular<br />

Weilimdorf has shown itself<br />

to be a popular location for the <strong>office</strong><br />

space needs of industrial companies.<br />

Eastern <strong>Stuttgart</strong> – progress at Neckarpark and Löwentor.<br />

Bad Cannstatt<br />

<strong>The</strong> starting signal has been given<br />

for the “Neckarpark” project. After<br />

the city has realized the central park,<br />

DIBAG’s first commercial buildings<br />

are scheduled from early 2018 onwards.<br />

Over the coming years DIBAG<br />

will construct approx. 43,000 m² of<br />

<strong>office</strong> space on the site. Some 50 %<br />

of this space is under negotiation<br />

or has already been sold to an owner-occupier.<br />

In <strong>2016</strong> a further approx. 5,000 m² of<br />

<strong>office</strong> space at the Cannstatter Carré<br />

complex was let to a variety of users.<br />

<strong>The</strong> majority of contracts concluded<br />

were for spaces from 501 to 1,000<br />

m². Tenants were from the health<br />

care sector or were public institutions.<br />

In <strong>2016</strong> a number of larger transactions<br />

were also completed in the<br />

Löwentor area, which, while it is<br />

an administrative subdistrict of Bad<br />

Cannstatt, is actually located directly<br />

adjacent to the Pragsattel area. A<br />
