According to Savills, around 320 million euros were traded on the Frankfurt real estate investment market in the 1st half of 2026. Compared to the same period last year, this corresponds to an increase of 9%. Compared to the 10-year average, sales were 82% lower. In the last twelve months, Savills has registered about 20 transactions – 10% less than in the same period last year. Prime yields for offices and commercial buildings were 4.5% and 4.3% respectively at the end of June, unchanged from the previous quarter and also unchanged from the previous year’s figure.
Sebastian Stein, Director Investment at Savills in Frankfurt, comments on the market as follows: “The defining theme of the second quarter was a transaction that ultimately did not come to a conclusion: the aborted sale of the Opernturm. Of all things, what is probably the most prominent sales process on the German investment market illustrates the challenges that market participants in Frankfurt are currently facing: Transactions are often complex, correspondingly lengthy and their successful conclusion often remains uncertain until the very end. Liquidity and, above all, equity capital are still scarce, especially for large-volume investments. Against this background, transactions require a high degree of patience and perseverance from all parties involved. The market is all the more likely to follow the next potential landmark deal – One GoethePlaza – all the more eagerly.”
With a transaction volume of EUR 490 million, office properties have contributed the most to investment turnover in Frankfurt in the last twelve months, followed by residential properties (approx. EUR 230 million) and retail properties (approx. EUR 50 million).
