The complexity of buying offices
💵 A drop in interest due to credit conditions
In 2023, the corporate real estate market in France was strongly impacted by unfavorable global economic conditions, in particular due to rising interest rates and the tightening of credit conditions. This resulted in a 57% drop in investments compared to the previous year.
📉 Reduced real estate investment
In terms of total investments in business real estate (offices, shops, business premises) reached only 8.8 billion euros, in other words, a decrease of 54% compared to the five-year average. This drop is due to a reduction in transactions and a misalignment of prices between sellers and buyers.
What could the Olympics bring this year
🏢 The increase in demand for office space

This sporting ceremony is attracting international attention and may encourage foreign investors to invest in corporate real estate in Paris, thereby stimulating the market.
🤝 Conclusion
The 2024 Olympic Games in Paris could be a major catalyst for the real estate market in Île-de-France, leading to an increase in demand for office space, infrastructure renovations and modernizations, and an increase in foreign investment. Although the market was impacted by difficult economic conditions in 2023, the Olympics offer a unique opportunity to revitalize and boost business real estate in Paris.
