The real estate investment manager has also observed rising demand for value-add investments in Germany, especially from international investors, and is expanding strategic partnerships to capitalize on opportunities in the residential and logistics sectors.
“If we are looking at the leasing market in Germany, it is robust and there is a concentration on stronger submarkets, which are doing quite well. The weaker and more fringy submarkets are suffering a little bit due to the German economic climate, which affects warehouse demand,” Felix Meyen, managing director of HIH Invest Real Estate, told CRE Media Europe at Expo Real.
HIH Invest's portfolios in both Germany and the Netherlands are performing well, with low vacancy rates and solid tenant demand. They also anticipate future demand from the defense sector.
There is increasing optimism in the investment market that the worst is over, with yields showing signs of stabilization and a potential slow recovery.
Looking toward 2026, HIH Invest has a robust pipeline and intends to pursue cross-European investments, including value-added opportunities, with a wide range of risk profiles. Financing conditions are also improving, Meyen concluded.
