📦 Logistics occupiers are doubling down on space!

According to CBRE’s 2025 European Logistics Occupier Survey, 96% of logistics occupiers across Europe plan to launch more (or similar) space requirements over the next 12 months.

🔎 Key takeaways:
- Long-term confidence is cautious, but steady. 46% still plan to expand over the next 3 years.
- Net-zero readiness is now a higher priority than green certification.
- Labour availability and real estate access are overtaking cost as top location factors.
- Occupiers are more selective than ever, with sustainability features like heat pumps and battery storage seen as essential business advantages.

At Grace Overseas, we see these shifts firsthand. The market is changing, fast. Forward-thinking logistics strategies must balance growth, resilience, and sustainability.
