There has been good news for the residential market in Spain with sales steadily increasing and now the country’s commercial property market, particularly in Madrid, is striding ahead.
Over the next couple of years, Madrid is forecast to be one of the best performing European office markets, after staging a strong recovery.

offices in Madrid 300x240 - Madrid's commercial market offers a prospect of strong rental growthThis change reflects the much improved economic backdrop, providing occupiers and investors with renewed confidence and optimism. Historically, the Madrid office market has correlated closely with corporate performance and employment levels.

Prime rents reached their floor in 2013 and increased by 14% in the first half of 2014, to currently stand at €28 per square meter per month. Office investment has risen sharply, with volumes amounting to €700 million in the first half of 2014, compared with €400 million for the whole of 2013.

There has been limited development over recent years, which has helped to stabilise the vacancy rate at 11.5%. With limited development in the pipeline, a shortage of good quality stock is expected in the medium term, which is expected to lead to further rental growth.

Published on 1 Comment on Two Skyscrapers and a Park to Replace Atlético de Madrid Stadium

The final countdown has begun for the Vicente Calderón soccer stadium. In 2022, the home of Atlético de Madrid, the city’s other major soccer club, will be replaced by two skyscrapers and an enormous riverside park.

vicente calderón 300x198 - Two Skyscrapers and a Park to Replace Atlético de Madrid StadiumAccording to the project plans the current site of the Calderón will be filled by two 36-storey towers and eight smaller buildings, which will have a mixed residential and commercial use.

But before that part of the project is complete, in 2016, the club will move to La Peineta stadium in the San Blas district.

Getting the development approved required a change to regional legislation that had prevented any building in the area from being more than three storeys high, with the option of adding an attic. This prohibition, which dated from 2007, was upheld by the Madrid Superior Court of Justice in 2012, when it struck down an earlier zoning plan designed by the city for this same area.
