In the first half of the year as a whole, take-up reached <strong>180,000 sqm<\/strong>, compared with 280,000 sqm during the same period in 2025, representing a year-on-year change of <strong>\u201335.7%<\/strong>. This decline was mainly due to the lower number of large transactions and the postponement of some corporate decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>The City Centre led activity, accounting for <strong>49.37% of the total space taken up<\/strong>, followed by decentralised areas, with <strong>32.60%<\/strong>. The Periphery accounted for 10.01% and the CBD for 8.02%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Transactions of up to 500 sqm represented <strong>50% of the total<\/strong>, while those between 500 and 1,200 sqm accounted for 29% and transactions above 1,200 sqm represented 21%. These figures confirm the prominence of small and medium-sized demand, although corporate activity linked to relocations, consolidations and new occupancies remains present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>\u201c<strong>Madrid\u2019s office market continues to see active demand<\/strong>, although companies are assessing each transaction more carefully. Building quality, energy efficiency, connectivity and the flexibility of spaces are becoming increasingly decisive factors in decision-making,\u201d says <strong>Manel de Bes, Director of <a href=\"https:\/\/forcadell.com\/en\/offices-coworking\/\">Offices<\/a> at FORCADELL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability falls slightly<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>The availability rate stood at <strong>8.5%<\/strong>, compared with 8.7% in the previous quarter. Decentralised areas and the Periphery jointly account for more than 80% of the available supply, with 57.80% and 23.88%, respectively.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p><strong>Supply is more limited in the most central areas<\/strong>. The City Centre accounts for 12.54% of availability, while the CBD and Prime areas jointly represent less than 6%, reflecting the scarcity of suitable space in the market\u2019s most exclusive locations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>The market\u2019s average rent reached <strong>\u20ac17.82\/sqm\/month<\/strong>, although there are significant differences depending on location and property quality. Prime records the highest average rent, at \u20ac31.01\/sqm\/month, followed by the CBD at \u20ac27.07\/sqm\/month and the City Centre at \u20ac24.71\/sqm\/month. Decentralised areas stand at \u20ac15.89\/sqm\/month, while the Periphery records \u20ac14.50\/sqm\/month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<p>Madrid\u2019s<strong> office market continues to show positive momentum, although it is becoming increasingly selective<\/strong>. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, activity is expected to remain stable, with a growing preference for efficient, well-connected buildings with immediate availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"o-container GenericStyles\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill-icon\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forcadell.com\/en\/publications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Madrid office market closed the second quarter of 2026 with 90,000 sq m leased.
