Rents for prime office premises in Europe is expected to stabilize this year, according to a new report by Colliers International.
European office centers such as Berlin, London, Stockholm and Warsaw will reflect the best results in terms of wage growth in the segment.
“Based on expectations of robust economic growth we expect prime rents are generally stable in most of the 25 centers (market) in 2011,” commented the company.
Despite concerns about public debt, which was a leading topic in 2010, Europe reported a return to growth this year, especially in Germany.
However, so far economic activity is not apparent in the form of rental growth demand.
