While this figure represents a 13.79% decrease compared to the same period last year, it highlights that <strong>the sector remains resilient in the capital with solid activity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>By area, <strong>the CBD (Central Business District) led the way in leasing activity<\/strong>, accounting for nearly 35% of the total. This trend is driven by strong demand within the M-30 ring road, particularly in areas such as Azca, the Castellana axis, and the Cuatro Torres business district, which offer <strong>strategic locations<\/strong> that <strong>enhance corporate branding<\/strong> and <strong>support talent retention<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Given the limited availability within the M-30 and rising rental prices, the <strong>decentralized area<\/strong> also saw a <strong>significant volume of transactions<\/strong> and became the second-largest area in terms of leased space (31% of the total). The supply of <strong>Class A offices, offering numerous amenities and more competitive rents<\/strong>, has made this area an efficient solution for companies seeking to reduce costs without compromising on quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>In contrast, leasing activity in the city center and peripheral areas was more moderate, accounting for 19% and 15% of the contracted space, respectively. Among the peripheral locations, <strong>Pozuelo de Alarc\u00f3n stood out as the most in-demand area during the quarter<\/strong>, according to the published analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healthy Leasing Activity and Clear Signs of Recovery<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Manel de Bes, Director of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forcadell.com\/en\/offices-coworking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Office Department at FORCADELL<\/a>, positively assessed the data, noting that \u201cthe office market in the capital shows clear <strong>signs of recovery and maintains a healthy leasing pace<\/strong>, although the evolution differs across areas,\u201d as the city center begins to experience very low vacancy levels, while supply outside the M-30 continues to grow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>In this context, as Manel de Bes points out, \u201cwe can expect<strong> significant relocations <\/strong>in the coming quarters as companies choose to move to more decentralized areas, which <strong>offer high-quality space<\/strong> capable of supporting large corporate operations and meeting current market needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Furthermore, as the report highlights, landlords in these areas are making strong efforts to attract new tenants. Their strategies include <strong>direct financial incentives<\/strong>, <strong>extended rent-free periods<\/strong>, and delivering <strong>offices in plug &amp; play format<\/strong>, which allows companies to minimize setup costs and speed up time-to-market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability Follows the Trend of Recent Quarters<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>As reflected in FORCADELL\u2019s report, <strong>office availability<\/strong> in Madrid continues the trend of recent quarters and currently stands at <strong>9.5%<\/strong>. Over the past year, this figure has dropped by almost 3 percentage points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>The <strong>CBD and Prime areas remain the districts with the lowest availability<\/strong>, with vacancy rates of 3.75% and 2.14%, respectively. <strong>Combined, they account for more than 60% of the reduction in availability <\/strong>in just one year, solidifying their position as the most in-demand markets in the city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Meanwhile,<strong> the Central area has shown notable stability<\/strong>, holding steady at 10%, the same as the previous quarter. Additionally, <strong>most of the available supply is found outside the M-30<\/strong>, where decentralized and peripheral zones account for approximately 84% of Madrid\u2019s total available office space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Regarding rents, during the first quarter of 2025, the <strong>average office rent in Madrid remained stable<\/strong>, with a slight increase compared to Q4 2024, standing at around \u20ac23\/m\u00b2.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"o-container
